Marketing & Sales Strategy

TransKora’s go-to-market strategy targets four primary customer segments, each with distinct logistics requirements and service expectations:

6.1 Target Market Segments

TransKora’s go-to-market strategy targets four primary customer segments, each with distinct logistics requirements and service expectations:

Segment	Key Needs	Service Offering	Revenue Target (Yr 1)
Manufacturing & FMCG	Reliability, volume capacity	Contract-based FTL	ZAR 32m (40%)
Agricultural Exporters	Cold-chain integrity	Refrigerated transport	ZAR 18m (23%)
Mining Companies	Heavy cargo, timely delivery	Bulk FTL services	ZAR 20m (25%)
SMEs	Affordability, flexibility	LTL with tracking	ZAR 10m (12%)

6.2 Pricing Strategy

TransKora will adopt a tiered pricing model designed to be competitive with incumbent operators while reflecting the premium value of the Company’s service quality, technology, and compliance capabilities:

Standard FTL (Musina–Dar es Salaam): ZAR 85,000–120,000 per trip (depending on cargo type and volume), benchmarked against market rates of ZAR 90,000–140,000.
Refrigerated FTL: 15–25% premium over standard FTL rates, reflecting the additional cost of temperature-controlled equipment and monitoring.
LTL Services: Per-pallet or per-cubic-metre pricing with a minimum charge of ZAR 8,000 per consignment.
Contract Discounts: 5–10% discount for clients committing to minimum monthly volumes under 12-month contracts.

6.3 Sales Channels

The Company will employ a multi-channel sales approach:

Direct B2B sales team: Four dedicated sales executives targeting manufacturing, agricultural, and mining clients in Gauteng, Limpopo, and Mpumalanga.
Trade exhibitions and industry forums: Active participation in Transport Forum Africa, Africa Logistics Conference, and SADC Trade Expo.
Strategic partnerships: Alliances with freight forwarders, customs brokers, and clearing agents to generate referral business.
Digital marketing: Company website, LinkedIn presence, and targeted digital advertising to reach decision-makers in target industries.

6.4 Client Retention Strategy

Customer retention is central to TransKora’s long-term revenue model. The Company will implement:

Dedicated account managers for all contract clients, ensuring personalised service and rapid issue resolution.
Quarterly business reviews with key accounts, providing performance data and cost optimisation recommendations.
Loyalty programme offering priority scheduling, discounted rates, and value-added services for long-term partners.
Net Promoter Score (NPS) tracking and continuous improvement initiatives based on client feedback.
