Trafico was founded by Fred Bezuidenhout, a seasoned attorney with more than 25 years’ experience, who recognised the need to simplify traffic fine management for corporate fleets and individuals. He embarked on this transformative venture, blending legal expertise with cutting-edge technology. Trafico’s inception was driven by the vision of pioneering a solution that optimised traffic-fine management and license renewals.
Trafico’s Core Values
The leading Paarl-based service provider values efficiency, transparency, and integrity. They are committed to advocating for their clients’ interests, ensuring they pay only legally issued fines and securing discounts to safeguard their resources. Moreover, they aim to relieve their clients of the associated administrative burdens of traffic-fine management and vehicle licensing, allowing them to focus on their core operations.
Trafico’s Expanding Services
Trafico began by efficiently managing traffic fines for corporate clients and individuals on a national scale. They have developed an interactive webservice to enable clients to access all their fine data from the comfort of their homes. Trafico’s services have since expanded to encompass a wide range of vehicle license-renewal management solutions. They notify clients well in advance of license-renewal dates and manage the entire process to offer an end-to-end solution.
The Team Behind Trafico’s Success
Embarking on their journey in 2014 with a team of three dedicated individuals, the company has expanded and now features a team of 16. Together they bring a remarkable combined knowledge of 72 years of industry experience to the table. Each member of the Trafico team plays a pivotal role and is considered key to its functionality, with expertise in their respective fields. This diverse and dynamic group represents a young and talented workforce drawn from the Boland area.
Clientele and Achievements
They take pride in providing exceptional services to a diverse clientele across various industries, including logistics, car rentals, banking, security and, notably, the three largest retailers in South Africa, among many others. Trafico’s track record is evident from significant achievements, such as saving clients more than R65 000 000 and efficiently managing the needs of more than 90 000 vehicles monthly.
Simplified Processes and Legal Compliance
At Trafico, the staff are there to make life simpler, taking care of those endless government department queues. They watch over their clients’ fines, so they don’t have to worry about warrants of arrest and additional penalties. Validity audits are performed on each infringement, focusing on legally issued traffic fines, which can be reduced saving clients up to 50%. Join their community, and experience a smoother, more convenient way to handle traffic fine management and vehicle licensing.
Future Plans: Integration and Partnerships
To maintain their competitive edge, Trafico aims to integrate their services with homeowners’ association apps, streamlining processes for residential estates. They are exploring partnerships with employee-wellness apps for corporate companies, further expanding the reach and accessibility of their services.
Trafico’s Commitment to Ethical Practices
Being a small, dedicated team that consistently delivers top-notch services to large corporate clients, earning positive feedback and trust from those they serve, their commitment to ethics and unwavering respect for all legislation reaffirms their integrity in the industry. Beyond their service offerings, Trafico believes in a company culture that values work-life balance and that fosters strong employee retention. This unique blend of professionalism and a supportive, positive culture is what makes working at Trafico truly gratifying.
Preparing for AARTO: Trafico’s Readiness
They wish to ensure the public is aware of the impending AARTO demerit system, scheduled to take effect in July 2024. When a driver accrues 15 demerit points, their licensee will face a suspension lasting three months for each additional demerit point. Trafico is fully geared to monitor the individual’s demerit points and perform validity audits on all fines issued under AARTO.
Innovations and Convenience: Trafico’s Recent Enhancements
Being at the forefront of innovation within the industry, Trafico’s system has recently undergone significant enhancements, including fully automated license disk renewals and traffic fine payment at a discounted rate. Traficom, a WhatsApp communication tool to further streamline interactions with clients, has been introduced, and clients can now conveniently register online at trafico.co.za. This user-friendly platform serves as a gateway to Trafico’s expertise and solutions, ensuring their services are just a click away.
Supporting the Community: A Special Gesture
In a special gesture of community support, Trafico is proud to announce a 20% reduction in the cost of their license disk renewal service for individuals within the Drakenstein municipal area.
