ANDREW GICHANA

I am an experienced logistics and transportation professional transitioning directly into freight dispatching, with over 8 years of experience in freight coordination, cargo tracking, route planning, shipment monitoring, customer service, and transport operations. I coordinate truck movements across East and Central Africa while communicating with drivers and stakeholders to ensure timely delivery.

In my logistics and asset tracking roles, I optimized route planning and GPS tracking of cargo trucks to reduce company costs and safeguard assets. I ensured compliance with GOK/KRA laws and regulations, handled logistics documentation, and supported export reviews including HS codes and customs clearance documentation, working with international freight forwarders, police courier/transport companies, and customs house brokers.

I also created and planned journeys for customer cargo trucks, providing real-time surveillance of about 120 trucks in operation and escalating irregularities as required by SOP timelines. I resolve issues like damages, shortages, and non-conformance, produce Journey Logs and Incident Reports, and use systems such as GPS tracking platforms and Microsoft Excel/CRM tools to support remote operations.
