Hook

Kenyan logistics companies lose an average of 15% of revenue to delivery delays and route inefficiencies. Our custom AI automation cuts average delivery delays by 50% through predictive routing and real-time resource allocation.

Problem

According to the World Bank, poor road infrastructure and manual planning contribute to 40% of goods deliveries in Kenya arriving late. This impacts customer satisfaction, increases fuel costs, and erodes profit margins for local SMEs.

Context

The Kenyan logistics sector is growing rapidly, with e-commerce driving 22% annual growth. However, most firms still rely on spreadsheets and manual dispatching. Our solution integrates with M-Pesa payment systems and WhatsApp business APIs to create end-to-end automation from order to delivery confirmation.
