About BiD Ship

Bidship (Pty) Ltd was founded by Rion Henning in 2015. The idea around Bidship started out in April 2013. Having spent many years in the logistics industry, he realised that transport is very traditional and has not changed much in the last 20 years. He saw the opportunity to design a platform or marketplace which connects shippers and transporters. Essentially offering an auction marketplace where transporters with excess loads or space available on their trucks could offer this up to customers that wants goods shipped.   Although this was the basis on which the Bidship Model was built, the current Bidship has metamorphosised into a versatile catalyst for any company’s transport & logistic challenges.  We specialise in finding solutions for you.

2nd to the Bidship platform and having partnered with service-driven suppliers, Bidship prides itself in tailor-making your transport experience to one that is hassle-free and 1-stop in nature.

Our dedication to quality of service has enabled Bidship to fast track a sound reputation & produce a valuable footprint in SA and our neighbouring countries

We are committed to building excellent relationships with both our National, as well as International customers by priding ourselves on superior service, quality customer care and support.
