Where product loss happens and how we stop it

Error due to manual capturing and controls
Reliance on human decision making
Theft and substitution of product in transit
Unauthorised product upliftment
Weighbridge manipulation / bypassing
Unauthorised access to sites
The Risks We Address

Our Integrated Approach

Every bulk commodity supply chain has the same fundamental vulnerability: multiple handover points where product can leave without detection, and existing controls that rely too heavily on people being in the right place at the right time.

Our approach addresses this systematically. We begin with a detailed assessment of your current control environment — mapping where the gaps are, how they’re being exploited, and what technology and process changes are needed to close them.

What follows is a monitoring programme built specifically for your operation: integrated systems that cover each stage of the supply chain, generate exception alerts automatically, and enable your team to intervene at the moments that actually matter.

The eight service areas below represent the stages of the supply chain we cover.

Most clients engage us across several of them – because losses rarely occur at just one point.

Automated Access Control
  • Automated verification replaces manual gate decisions.
  • Vehicles cross-referenced against authorised lists in real time.
  • Cloned or non-compliant registrations flagged before site entry.
  • All product movements linked to a valid weighbridge transaction.
    • Weighbridge
  • All weighbridge transactions recorded and audited.
  • Anomalies flagged automatically for investigation.
  • Security-oriented software layer that doesn't slow down operations.
  • Fraudulent or manipulated tickets identified and escalated.
    • Yellow Machine Monitoring
  • Geo-fencing detects when machines exit designated zones with product.
  • Dashcam and tracking coverage of FELs and articulated dump trucks.
  • Loading process monitored remotely to detect deliberate underloading or diversion.
  • Alerts generated automatically when machines operate outside assigned areas.
    • Stockpile Monitoring
  • AI-integrated cameras detect intrusions, unauthorised vehicles, and after-hours activity.
  • Alerts generated in real time — not reviewed after the fact.
  • Coverage across mine sites, sidings, warehouses, and port stockpile areas.
  • Vessel loading monitored to confirm product moves from the correct stockpile.
    • Goods in Transit (Road)
  • Exception-based risk monitoring using a unified system view.
  • Real-time tracking against predefined routes and rules.
  • Alerts for route deviations, extended stops, and unauthorised tipping eventsSignal jamming detected as an exception — not invisible.
  • Integrates with existing telematics providers across your transporter base.
    • Goods in Transit (Rail)
  • Pre-loading wagon inspections and drone footage at dispatch.
  • Telematics tracking of consignments from loading to port arrival.
  • Fixed camera network along the rail corridor monitors known hotspot areas.
  • Ground teams respond to exceptions and conduct routine line inspections.
    • Port
  • Road and rail deliveries verified against dispatch documentation on arrival.
  • Permanent physical presence and camera network at Richards Bay Port.
  • Stockpile integrity monitored between delivery and vessel loading.
  • Vessel loading supervised to confirm correct product to correct vessel
  • Weighbridge tickets cross-referenced against tracking data to detect fraudulent documentation.
    • Material Monitoring
  • Independent stock reconciliation across all supply chain stages.
  • Physical surveys benchmarked against theoretical balances.
  • Discrepancies investigated systematically — not written off as variance.
  • Provides the data foundation for identifying where losses are actually occurring.
