Argility’s Shark Tank generates latest
product innovation
T
he Argility Technology Group has announced the launch of its
latest product innovation – MultiTRAX – a delivery management
mobile app that enables businesses to schedule deliveries and
manage administration while at the same time providing their
customers with real time tracking capabilities.
“We launched the Shark Tank initiative in 2016 as a vehicle to
encourage staff to participate and contribute their ideas for
new product development,” said Marko Salic, CEO of the Argility
Technology Group.
“We set up an adjudication panel that was comprised of senior
executives from both Argility and a leading SA retail corporation. The
winning team received a monetary reward but even more exciting
is the fact that they saw their idea come alive as a fully developed
marketable product.”
“From the business perspective, the app provides easy access to
delivery documents, immediate delivery confirmation and the ability
to schedule routes.
“The businesses’ customers enjoy a unique connected and reliable
delivery experience and are able to track the location and progress of
their delivery at any time in the entire process.
“A customer centric business culture that leads to consistently positive
customer experiences should be a core focus of any organisation. It
translates into competitive advantage in a crowded marketplace.”

MultiTRAX provides real-time delivery management information such
as the current location of drivers the routes followed and a holistic
view of the progress of all deliveries.
“Customers are provided with real-time information including estimated
arrival time; current location of a delivery and more,” added Salic.
