National milk buyer Dairy Farmers of South Africa (DFSA) is renewing its contract with MiX Telematics Africa for another 30 months, according to the provider of fleet and mobile asset management.
DFSA has been a MiX client for the past 16 years, MiX said.
“We are very pleased that the Dairy Farmers of South Africa organization has once again placed its trust in MiX Telematics as a result of our partnership approach, proven results and industry specialist expertise,” said Gert Pretorius, managing director of MiX Telematics Africa.
DFSA relies on MiX Telematics to provide vital fleet management solutions for its 85 trucks, which collect milk from farmers in almost every province of South Africa, and deliver trusted products, including those of the iconic Clover brand, to stores countrywide.
“Closely monitoring mileage and driver behavior with the MiX Fleet Manager suite of online and app-based solutions is vitally important for DFSA,” said Karel Koen, milk procurement logistics and planning manager for DFSA. “This system helps us to constantly evaluate vehicle utilization, an extremely important parameter for us to increase efficiencies and reduce the costs of the operation.”
