Software for Transport & Logistics
A transport management platform built for SA freight operators, from compliance to route optimisation.
Thwala brings RTMS/SANS 1395 compliance, real-time tracking, ePOD, and route optimisation together in one transport management digital solution purpose-built for South African logistics.
The problems we solve
Familiar challenges we hear from teams across South Africa.
01
Dispatch by phone and whiteboard
Loads planned on a whiteboard and tracked by phone call mean nobody, including your clients, knows where a shipment really is.
02
Paper PODs delay payment
Invoices wait days or weeks for signed paperwork to find its way back from the road, stretching cash flow you can't afford to stretch.
03
RTMS audit preparation
Evidence for loading control, driver wellness, and vehicle maintenance lives in five different files when the RTMS auditor asks for it.
How Skynode helps
Purpose-built tools that remove the real bottlenecks in your day-to-day operations.
Order to settlement in one flow
Order entry, load planning, dispatch, tracking, proof of delivery, invoicing, and settlement in one dashboard, with orders imported via API, email, or manual entry.
Tracking on the telematics you own
Connect your existing tracking hardware, no new devices, and get shipment-level visibility, predictive ETAs, geofence alerts, and automated client notifications via SMS and WhatsApp.
ePOD that invoices the same day
Drivers capture digital signatures, photos, GPS stamps, and barcode scans on mobile, offline-capable, so billing starts the moment the delivery lands.
How it works
From first conversation to fully running, without months of consulting fees.
01
Connect your fleet
We link your existing telematics provider and load your vehicles, drivers, and regular lanes.
02
Set up your flows
Order intake, rate cards, and client notification rules configured around how your operation already runs.
03
Dispatch from day one
Dispatchers plan and track loads while drivers capture ePODs on mobile, with RTMS evidence accumulating automatically in the background.
Why Skynode?
We build for South African operators from the ground up, around the compliance, the currency and the conditions you work with every day.
Secure and POPIA-ready
We keep your data safe and handle it the way POPIA requires.
Works offline
The tools that matter keep running with or without a connection, and sync automatically once you're back online.
Local compliance, built in
SARS, the Rental Housing Act, CIDB, NHBRC, B-BBEE and more. The rules you answer to are part of the product from day one.
Priced in rand
Clear, honest pricing in rand, published on every product page, so you always know what you'll pay.
Built for teams like yours
How South African teams put Skynode to work every day.
01
For the fleet owner
Margin per load, fleet utilisation, and outstanding PODs on one screen, and no more finding out about a bad month at month-end.
02
For the dispatcher
Plan loads, assign drivers, and answer 'where's my delivery?' with a live link instead of a radio call.
03
For the debtors clerk
Every invoice carries its signed, GPS-stamped ePOD, so queries close in minutes and payment terms start days earlier.
Frequently asked questions
Answers to the questions we hear most from teams in your industry.
Does it work with our existing trackers?
Yes. Thwala overlays on your current telematics hardware, integrating with leading South African providers, so you keep the investment you've already made.
Does it help with RTMS / SANS 1395 certification?
Yes. Pre-built audit templates cover all five pillars, loading control, driver wellness, safety, maintenance, and performance monitoring, with one-click compliance reports.
What if drivers lose signal on the road?
ePOD capture works offline and syncs when coverage returns, deliveries in remote areas or during load-shedding are captured, not lost.
What does it cost?
Plans start from R2,999 per month for the full order-to-settlement platform, priced in ZAR for South African freight operators.
