Supply Chain & Logistics Sector

Distributors, 3PLs, freight forwarders, warehousing operators and port-linked businesses across East Africa.

Freight and container logistics operations

Sector view

Volume is easy. Margin per shipment is not.

Logistics businesses in the region grow on volume and lose on execution — idle fleet, poor slotting, unbilled work and thin cost visibility. We fix the unit economics.

  • Cost-to-serve by customer, lane and shipment type
  • Warehouse productivity and space utilisation
  • Fleet utilisation, routing and maintenance discipline
  • Billing accuracy and revenue leakage recovery

Outcomes

What good looks like

We measure engagements by what changes on the ground, not by the size of the report.

Per lane

Profitability visible, not averaged

Utilisation

More work from the same fleet and space

Leakage

Unbilled and under-billed work recovered

SLA

Service promises the operation can keep

Cross-border

The region is one market, with many borders

Northern and Central Corridor realities, customs regimes and documentation quality decide your lead times. We build operating models that assume friction and manage it.

Questions we get asked

Frequently asked questions

Straight answers to what decision-makers usually want to know before a first conversation.

Do you work with distributors, 3PLs and freight operators?

Yes — distribution businesses, warehousing and 3PL providers, freight forwarders and port-linked operations across the region.

How do you handle cross-border and customs delays?

We model true end-to-end lead times including port and customs variability, then set inventory and routing policy against that reality instead of nominal transit times.

Can you reduce warehouse cost without new technology?

Often yes. Re-slotting around real velocity, revised picking routes and clear productivity standards usually deliver more than a system purchase in the first phase.

Do you help select WMS or planning systems?

We help define requirements and evaluate options, but only after the process and policy are fixed — technology should be bought against a working design.
