Delivery partner network

Every delivery partner in South Africa. One account.

One signup, one integration, one invoice - every delivery partner's rate compared on every parcel you send.

Delivery partners and road freight. One network.

Most South African road-freight companies still run on phone, email and paper. Motho connects them alongside modern delivery partner APIs - so you can quote, book and track pallets and oversized freight the same way you manage parcels.

Stop living in delivery partner portals.

Five parcels with two delivery partners means ten logins, re-typed addresses and copy-pasted tracking numbers. Orders flow in from your store, booking is one click, and tracking numbers go back to the customer without you touching them.

One integration instead of six.

Every delivery partner's API is different: different auth, different formats, different failure modes, and they change without warning. Motho maintains all of them, so your developers build against one platform - or don't build anything at all.

Your delivery partner is great. Until it isn't.

One delivery partner means their coverage gaps are your coverage gaps, and their bad week is yours too. Compare on every parcel and you only switch when it's worth switching - per parcel, not per contract.

How booking works

Three steps, whichever delivery partner wins the parcel.

  1. Step 01

    Orders come in

    Your store, spreadsheet or manual capture - the parcel lands in Motho with the address already on it.

  2. Step 02

    Rates compared side by side

    Every connected delivery partner quotes the same parcel. You see price and service next to each other.

  3. Step 03

    Book, print, track

    One click books the collection and prints the waybill. Tracking flows back to you and your customer.

One statement. Every delivery partner. VAT invoice that reconciles.

Ways to ship

Three ways your goods can move. One place to book them.

Every consignment is quoted across all three, so the right method wins on price and service - not on which portal you happened to open.

Nationwide delivery, one account

Door-to-door courier

Our delivery partners collect from your premises, warehouse or home and hand the parcel over at your customer's door - anywhere in South Africa, including outlying and cross-border routes.

Whichever partner wins the parcel, the booking, waybill and tracking all happen in the same place. Your customer gets one tracking experience; you get one invoice at month-end.

  • Same-day collection windows in the main centres
  • Overnight and economy services priced side by side
  • Tracking and notifications that follow the parcel, not the partner

Collection on their terms

Pickup points and lockers

Lockers and counter points let your customer collect when it suits them - on the way home, over a weekend, without waiting around for a knock at the door.

It's usually the cheapest last mile you can buy, and the most reliable: nobody is out, nothing goes back to the depot, and you're not paying for a second delivery attempt.

  • Door-to-locker, locker-to-locker and locker-to-door where the partner supports it
  • Fewer failed deliveries and redelivery fees
  • Collection points quoted alongside door-to-door on every parcel

Bigger than a parcel

Road freight

Pallets, bulky goods and anything a courier would rather not carry move far more cheaply on road freight - often at a fraction of a parcel rate once weight and volume climb.

Motho quotes road-freight operators on the same screen as couriers, including the legacy operators still running on phone, email and paper. You send one consignment brief; we handle the difference in how each one wants to receive it.

  • Pallets, crates and oversized or awkward goods
  • Legacy operators connected alongside modern APIs
  • Freight and parcel rates compared on the same consignment
