About Us

Tradestream is a logistics and working capital solutions provider. As part of our service offering we provide freight forwarding, logistics management and trade finance to our select clients using our state of the art information technology systems.

Our Background

Saxport was established in 1989 and was focused on the export of break-bulk shipments, primarily to the United States.

In 2006 the Company branded itself as Saxport International Logistics and expanded its service offering to provide clients with a comprehensive range of logistic management services.

In 2010 the company acquired its own warehousing and bonded cargo facilities in Johannesburg, established a national branch network and formally entered the project logistics market.

In 2014, Saxport acquired Tradestream Technology, a supply chain management software systems house, and rebranded to Tradestream.

In 2016 Tradestream disposed of the IT research and development part of its business to former directors.
