Collection: Border Activity
Borders represent typical bottlenecks for the movement of trade between countries, thus effecting countries, governments, suppliers, distributors, consumers and transporters alike.
According to the World Bank, trade between African countries currently represents only 12% of total economic activity in the region, compared to 60% in Europe and 40% in Asia. Reducing red tape at border posts is seen as critical to reducing the cost of transport and increasing trade.
LMS currently monitors 51 border posts across Africa. With 1500 geo-zones mapped and utilizing tracking from over 100,000 vehicles global positioning data, LMS provides the most consistent data over time regarding border crossing times in Africa in a uniform manner to enable sound strategic decision making.
