Mvuno bulk tanker fleet in the yard

FMCG transport, from raw materials to last mile

We move raw materials into your plant and finished goods through your distribution network — from bulk tankers to store deliveries.

Where do you need us?

A transport partner across your supply chain

Mvuno Logistics is a South African transport business serving FMCG and industrial customers. We move bulk raw materials, packaged inputs and finished goods — directly for brand owners or as a contracted carrier to their logistics partners.

Pneumatic dry-bulk transport is our core speciality and the focus of our own fleet. We add dedicated and vetted partner capacity where customers need broader distribution coverage.

TMS software & load control

One view of every load, across every transporter

Customers, transporters and brokers often manage subcontracted loads across disconnected systems. That limits visibility, slows decisions and increases delivery risk and cost.

  • A central view of loads carried by different transporters
  • TMS setup supported by dedicated controllers working with your team
  • Transporter POD uploads and load-level document control
  • Performance reporting that supports continuous improvement
  • RTMS preparation from initial assessment through audit readiness and compliance
Transport management software dashboards showing load status, routes and performance reporting
TMS dashboards consolidate load status, route activity, transporter documents and operating reports.
