An intelligent port operations platform built for South Africa's maritime industry.
SmartPort was founded to address the operational complexity facing South Africa's port and logistics sector. Ports like Durban, Cape Town, and Richards Bay are critical arteries for the southern African economy — yet many operational teams still rely on fragmented systems, manual processes, and delayed information flows.
SmartPort provides the operational intelligence layer that connects vessel scheduling, container tracking, gate management, document compliance, and incident response into a single platform — giving every stakeholder the information they need, when they need it.
Every workflow has been designed with the realities of Transnet Port Terminals, private terminal operators, freight forwarders, and the SARS/SAMSA regulatory environment in mind.
Our platform is built on proven enterprise technology — ASP.NET Core 8, PostgreSQL, and a clean domain model — designed to integrate with existing TOS systems, AIS feeds, and customs platforms over time.
Enterprise-grade .NET backend with MVC architecture, robust auth, and clean domain separation.
Production-ready relational database with ACID compliance and excellent performance at scale.
ASP.NET Core Identity with 5 operational roles and policy-based authorization throughout.
Containerised deployment via Docker Compose. Runs on any cloud or on-premise Linux server.
We are actively engaging port authorities, terminal operators, and logistics companies for our pilot programme.
