SAPICS Authorised Education Partner IRM Supply Chain Training recently trained Transnet Freight Rail staff in the SAPICS BSSC Course. Tlome Pebane Transnet Freight Rail JHB "The course is fundamental to everyone working in the Warehousing and Logistics environment. From the Manager all the way down to the Warehouse Assistant, this is a must-have course. It covers important subjects on how to efficiently run a Warehouse and at the same taking care of our personal safety and the environment. I personally recommend that every person in the Supply Chain Environment should have this course as a standalone." Marco Van Wyk Transnet Freight Rail CPT "The course was very empowering, having a full-time job and studying part-time most of the time becomes a little difficult as well as strenuous to juggle but with SAPICS it was a breeze and uplifted my spirit to continue investing in knowledge, I will recommend it to anyone how wants to empower themselves and bettering their future."

The SAPICS Annual Conference | 19 – 22 July 2026 Over the years, SAPICS has connected generations of supply chain thinkers, doers, innovators and change-makers. Today, those same connections are shaping a future that demands sustainability, inclusivity, and adaptability. The 48th conference will explore how supply chains can lead responsibly — balancing purpose and performance, technology and humanity, efficiency and equity. From seasoned leaders to the next wave of emerging voices, SAPICS 2026 will celebrate the people and ideas that move supply chains forward. It will challenge us to think beyond silos, to collaborate across industries and borders, and to reimagine what leadership looks like in a world that never stops evolving. The theme “Legacy to Leadership: 60 Years of Connection, Collaboration & Transformation” reflects more than a milestone; it is a call to action. It is a reminder that leadership is not a title, but a legacy in motion that is built through shared knowledge, resilient partnerships, and the courage to transform. Register here and strengthen your supply chain knowledge. |
