NEPTUNE Pacific Direct Line (NPDL) has announced the consolidation of its Transam and Williams & Gosling’s businesses under the one entity Transam Fiji PTE (formerly known as Williams & Gosling PTE Limited).
The two businesses have been rebranded as TRANSAM, effective March 1, 2025.
“For our customers in Fiji this will be business as usual with all the same logistics services in operation,’ NPDL said in a statement yesterday.
“The objective of the change is to consolidate Williams and Gosling and Transam as one team, one brand and one platform in Fiji with the support of the TRANSAM international agency network.
“By combining sea and airfreight services together with trucking, customs and warehousing on one platform (CargoWise), we will provide customers with an improved end-to-end service.
“From an operational standpoint, this simplification and standardisation of our Fiji businesses, using tools like Cargowise, will enable automation of our logistics data helping management to focus on customer service and reliability.”
NPDL Marketing & Communications manager David Wyatt said: “efficiency gains from the consolidation include improved booking, financial and operational systems across both companies.
“Our customers have used both Williams and Gosling and Transam for decades.
“Now they have the simplicity of one company providing end to end freight services combining international sea and airfreight with domestic trucking, customs, warehousing, and fully integrated logistics services to meet all their supply chain needs,” Mr Wyatt said.
The consolidation will also result in international network benefits through systems alignment and “international shared know-how” with TRANSAM agencies in Singapore, Australia, New Zealand, USA, Samoa, Tonga, American Samoa, Vanuatu, New Caledonia, Wallis & Futuna, Tuvalu, Cook Islands, Norfolk Island and French Polynesia, Mr Wyatt said.
