Imperial Logistics on Thursday inked a five-year contract with Vodacom for data network and hosting services across the freight and logistics group’s divisions and operating companies.

The partnership allowed for the expansion of current network services to include Vodacom’s voice over Internet protocol offering, as well as application and business processes services required to “enhance the competitiveness” of Imperial’s clients, Imperial chief integration officer Cobus Rossouw said in a statement.

The deal would also enable expansion into Africa, with Imperial “keen to leverage” on the existing Vodacom Business infrastructure.

“There is much opportunity to develop further strategic solutions with Vodacom and the potential of mobile commerce for brand owners in African markets is substantial,” Rossouw commented.

“In Africa – the mobile phone industry’s fastest-growing region – there is a massive opportunity that we need to drive forward,” added Vodacom Business managing executive for large enterprise Deon Liebenberg.

“The combined local presence, extensive network and comprehensive suite of communications solutions mean that we can help multinationals manage their operations more effectively and make the most of opportunities across the continent,” he concluded.
