The real cost of manual logistics

You already know what's broken.

Every logistics manager in East Africa is dealing with the same things. We built Logistics & Beyond to solve each one.

Your day is 70% phone calls

Senior logistics managers spend 25–30 hours per week on status updates and manual coordination — work that should be automated.

"Utafika lini?" — answered 20 times a day

Your client calls. You call the forwarder. The forwarder calls the driver. Nobody has a tracking link. That ends today.

You're overpaying and you know it

Without competitive bids, your forwarder names a price and you accept it. The platform shows you what three competing forwarders would charge for the same shipment.

Your CFO wants data. You have WhatsApp.

Freight cost forecasts built on experience and memory instead of data. The platform generates the reports you've been building manually in Excel.

From order to delivery

Four steps. One platform.

No more endless phone calls. No more chasing status updates. Just logistics that works.

01
Create Your Order

Enter shipment details, cargo specs, route, and incoterms. One form. Two minutes. The platform does the rest.

02
Receive Competitive Bids

Verified forwarders and transporters bid within hours. Compare rates, transit times, and service inclusions side by side.

03
Accept &amp; Assign

Pick the best bid. Confirm the forwarder. The platform notifies all parties and opens the shipment dashboard.

04
Track to Delivery

Live status updates, digital documents, GPS-verified proof of delivery. No phone calls needed at any stage.

Features

Everything you need to run logistics without the chaos

Built for how East African logistics actually works — not how it works in Rotterdam.

Competitive Bidding

Multiple verified forwarders and transporters bid on every order. Full-service bids and transport-leg-only bids, scored by weighted criteria.

Real-Time Tracking

5-stage shipment tracking from origin to delivery. Share a tracking link with your client — no WhatsApp voice notes, no follow-up calls.

Document Automation

Shipping Instructions, Delivery Orders, Waybills, Packing Lists, and GPS-verified Proof of Delivery — all generated automatically from shipment data.

Analytics &amp; Reports

Freight cost by corridor, forwarder performance scores, on-time delivery rates. The data that proves your value to the CFO.

Warehouse Integration

Connect incoming shipments directly to warehouse receipts. Track inventory from port to warehouse to last-mile without switching systems.

Offline-First &amp; Mobile

Works on smartphones with intermittent 3G. Your transporters update status from the road. You see it live in your dashboard.

WhatsApp Integration

Transporters receive notifications and send status updates via WhatsApp — no app download required from the people on the ground.

Multi-Language Support

Full platform in English, Swahili, and French — so every stakeholder from Nairobi to Bujumbura works in their own language.

Multi-Role Access

Invite your team, your forwarders, your warehouse contacts. Everyone sees only what they need. You control it all.

From the corridor

Results that speak for themselves.

The bidding system alone saved us 30% on freight costs in the first quarter. I can finally show my CFO real numbers instead of estimates built on memory.

Operations Director · Nairobi

I used to spend my evenings on status update calls. Now I check the dashboard once in the morning. That's the biggest thing — I go home at 5 PM.

Common concerns

We've heard the objections. Here's the truth.

We built this for Nairobi, not Rotterdam. Offline-first architecture for intermittent 3G, mobile-first design for $100 Android phones, Swahili language support, and workflows that accommodate how business actually happens here — not how global platforms assume it does. The platforms that failed here were built for Rotterdam and force-fitted to Nairobi. We built for Nairobi.
If your transporter can use WhatsApp, they can use Logistics & Beyond — same principles, same simplicity. Transporters can receive load notifications and submit status updates directly via WhatsApp without ever downloading an app. The platform meets people where they are.
You get 14 days free. No credit card. The ROI typically appears in week one through a single competitive bid — shippers consistently report 15–30% freight cost savings on the first order alone. The calculator above shows what that means for your specific volume. And if you don't see value in the first two weeks, you don't pay.
Smart — and the trial period exists for exactly this reason. Start free, evaluate on your own shipments, and decide based on real data rather than someone else's. The one cost of waiting: the freight you overpay this month while the platform isn't working for you.
