Transnet SOC ensures employees identification and access management with PalmSecure and bioLock via shared kiosk systems

Transnet SOC Ltd. deploys Fujitsu PalmSecure and valantic bioLock™ to ensure Biometric Identification and Access Management.

Customer

Transnet SOC Ltd. is the largest and most crucial part of the freight logistics chain that delivers goods to each and every South African. Every day Transnet delivers thousands of tons of goods through its pipelines, and both to and from its ports. It moves that cargo on to ships for export while it unloads goods from overseas. Transnet is fully owned by the South African government but operates as a corporate entity aimed at both supporting and contributing to the country’s freight logistics network.
