M6T Aims To Thrive Through The Automation And Digitalisation Of The Air Freight Industry. M6T seeks to be the most authentic and efficient customs clearing and freight forwarding company in South Africa. It utilises the best available human capital and technology available to provide exceptional and reliable service. As an emerging company, with representation in 96 countries and growing, its membership with the World Freight Partnership provides it with a global reach that ensures a seamless door-to-door service for its customers. The company is the ideal partner of choice both in the South African market and to its global partners as it is committed to going above and beyond for its customers while adhering to the highest ethical and quality standards. Its leadership team draws from their combined experience of over 70 years to provide in-depth industry knowledge and advice, as well as the highest value services. The company was co-founded by Ntando Mpofu in 2017.
Today, the air freight industry is automating and digitising a whole host of its processes to make the shipping of goods, to all parts of the world, easier than ever. There are more obvious technological innovations, such as GPS tracking, online communication tools and cloud storage and administration, but the advancements reach much further than that.
The huge amount of coordination, cooperation, monitoring and tracking required for different types of deliveries and shipments affords a prime opportunity for digital innovation. The air freight supply chain barely resembles the industry that existed in 2019, never mind a decade or two ago. Experts have weighed in on the tremendous changes occurring in air freight and most are expecting that there will be no going back to a pre-pandemic ‘normal’.
At M6T it is believed that it is imperative to support and uplift the communities in which it operates in to ensure a healthier and more productive South Africa for all. The company is committed to creating sustainable impact and, through the M6T Foundation; the company commits 1% of its after-tax profits to important causes within these communities. Currently its focus is on five key areas: education, environment, health, sports and entrepreneurship.
In line with this, M6T has partnered with Sakhelwe Primary School in KwaThema on the East Rand as main sponsor of Achievement Trophies at their annual Prize Giving Day. Encouraging children to strive for excellence in both academics and sports cannot be overstated and such events are both inspirational and aspirational.
