Uptime is our #1 priority

In logistics, IT downtime doesn’t just cost time — it parks vehicles, delays loads and frustrates clients. Matnet has supported Durban businesses for 23 years, and we build and support systems for operators who cannot afford to stand still: proactive monitoring, solid backups, secure networks and a local team that answers.

IT Support Built Around Logistics Operations

A logistics business runs on more than trucks — it runs on tracking platforms, warehouse systems, scanners, dispatch screens and month-end invoicing that all have to work, together, on time. Matnet Technologies supports that entire chain: your servers, networks, devices, Microsoft 365 and the links between your sites. We’re based in Springfield Park — minutes from Durban’s port precinct — and we support operators across KwaZulu-Natal, with remote support extending nationwide.

Why Durban’s Transport & Freight Operators Choose Matnet

Matnet has supported Durban’s clearing and logistics companies for more than 22 years — back to the days of CSS, the old DOS-based clearing program, which was eventually replaced by ACS, and on through ShipShape and the other platforms the industry runs on today. We’ve worked across these systems as they’ve changed, so we understand how a clearing agent’s day really flows: the bills of entry, the tariff lookups, the SARS submissions and the month-end that can’t slip.

We were also hands-on through the Portnet EDI rollout, when Durban’s port community moved to electronic data interchange with what is now Transnet National Ports Authority. That experience means we don’t just keep your PCs running — we understand how your clearing software, your EDI links to the ports and SARS, and your accounting all have to talk to each other. When one link in that chain breaks, we know where to look, because we’ve supported this industry since before most of these systems moved online

Rapid-Response Support
Trucks don’t keep office hours, and neither do IT problems. Business clients get SLA-backed response with after-hours and weekend cover — most issues resolved remotely, engineers on-site across greater Durban when hands-on work is needed.
Downtime Prevention & Recovery
We monitor your servers, networks and backups proactively, fixing small faults before they park your operation. And if the worst happens — hardware failure, load shedding damage, ransomware — tested backups and a recovery plan get you moving again fast.
Security & POPIA Compliance
Client records, cargo documentation, driver details and POD archives are sensitive data. We protect them with access controls, patching, monitoring and sensible policies — keeping your operation POPIA-aligned and your clients’ trust intact.
Scales With Your Operation
From a five-vehicle fleet to multiple depots, our support, licensing and infrastructure scale with you — up for peak season, down when it makes sense — without expensive rip-and-replace projects.
Predictable Monthly Costs
Swap surprise call-out bills for a fixed monthly support agreement sized to your users and sites. Budget IT the way you budget fuel: known, managed, and reviewed as your operation grows.
Connected Everywhere
Depot Wi-Fi that reaches the loading bay, secure links between sites, and protected mobile access for dispatchers and drivers — your systems stay reachable from the yard, the road and the office.

We map your operation before we change anything

Every logistics operation is different — fleet size, sites, systems, seasonal peaks. Before we recommend anything, Matnet audits what you run today: your tracking and warehouse platforms, servers, connectivity and pain points. You get a clear, prioritised plan — not a generic package.

IT Services for Logistics Companies in Durban

Warehouse and depot networking done right: Wi-Fi coverage that reaches every rack and loading bay, structured cabling, and networks that keep scanners, label printers and workstations online through the whole shift.

Servers and hosting for your operational systems — on-site or in the cloud, sized to your workload, properly backed up, with pay-for-what-you-use flexibility as your volumes change.

Secure access from anywhere: dispatchers, drivers and admin staff reach PODs, manifests and invoices from any device, with permissions that keep sensitive documents locked to the right people.

Systems support and integration: we keep your tracking, warehouse and accounting systems talking to each other — and when something breaks at month-end, one call to our Durban helpdesk gets it fixed.

Pay for exactly the support you need

Ad-hoc help when something breaks, or a monthly agreement with priority response and proactive maintenance — we’ll recommend honestly which fits your operation, and the assessment costs nothing.
