“Trans Africa,” a technology-based logistics network that claims to make trading across borders in Africa easier, has been created by CCI international Logistics, the international commodities forwarding firm that is part of the CCI Group. It is anticipated that the project would provide a return on investment of 15% and will include the transportation of 5,000 TEUs of products by air and sea each year. The firm is spending Rs 1.06 billion in the project.
Large markets such as Nigeria, Kenya, South Africa, Ghana, and Egypt are among those where the service is being introduced now. It is expected to become available in the near future in Francophone West Africa, Central Africa, and countries like Uganda and Zambia that do not have access to the sea (for example).
The project known as “Trans Africa” has the intention of addressing problems that have been preventing commerce in Africa for a considerable amount of time. These problems include poor roads, complicated customs procedures, high expenses, and the inability to view products clearly. In order to manage goods, the platform offers all that is required, including real-time tracking, digital customs processing, and route optimisation that is driven by artificial intelligence. Additionally, it interfaces with national customs systems and provides you with all of the documents and tools that you need in a one location from which you can maintain compliance.
A variety of industries, such as pulses, pharmaceuticals, car parts, and automobiles, are the primary focusses of the site, which provides delivery to every door in South, West, and East Africa.
“This is more than just a logistics service—it’s a catalyst for intra-African trade,” said Satish Singh, Vice President – P&L, CCI Worldwide Logistics. “With Trans Africa, we’re creating a digitally connected freight ecosystem that enables growth, trust, and transparency across borders.”
The flexible business plan of CCI comprises fees for each shipment as well as additional services like as cargo insurance, storage, and recommendations to trade finance companies. Even in locations with poor internet connectivity, the platform is easy to use because of the additive design for which it was developed. This indicates that a large number of individuals inside the African logistics network Humphrey are able to make advantage of it.
