Lori Systems - Nairobi

Lori is a rapidly growing venture-backed start-up that is revolutionizing the African trucking industry. Their cutting-edge logistics infrastructure is tackling an immense issue, as $180 billion is spent each year on haulage across the continent, with up to 75% of product costs attributed to logistics - compared to 6% in the US. Lori's tech-enabled marketplace has brought transparency to the supply chain, as well as improved flexibility, reliability and cost savings of up to 18%. Since its product launch in May 2017, the company has seen an impressive 30% month-over-month compounded growth. This success has been further bolstered by a recent landmark funding round from renowned institutional and strategic investors. Lori was also the winner of the Techcrunch Battlefield Africa competition.
