The reality
This is not a skills problem, it is a tooling problem. Here is what brokers and forwarders describe to us, in Tunis as in Abidjan, Casablanca or Marseille.
Requests, follow-ups and confirmations all land in the same place. Finding the real status of a file means scrolling back through fifteen messages.
Origin, destination, weight, CBM, incoterm: the same data is copied three or four times, from the customer email to the spreadsheet and then the quote.
Twenty minutes of pure handling per file. Across thirty weekly requests, that is a full day producing no commercial value.
A mistyped weight, a misread incoterm, forgotten destination charges: the gap shows up at invoicing, too late to pass on.
Classic TMS assume contract rate grids and forms. Brokerage in Africa and Europe runs on the spot market, by email, in several currencies.
The flow
Every step stays under your control: the file is editable, messages are reviewed, the quote is approved before it goes out.

What changes
The goal is not to add one more piece of software, but to remove work that should never have been manual.
The mechanical part of a file — reading, structuring, sourcing, comparing, formatting — no longer fills your day.
Buying rate, local charges and applied margin are visible on every file before the quote goes out, not discovered afterwards.
Multi-currency, Europe–Africa and Asia–Africa corridors, destination charges modelled port by port.
One file can compare a road solution, an FCL and an LCL, each with its own cost items.
Messages leave from your professional address, with your signature. Your contacts never see a third-party platform.
Each organisation has a strictly separated data scope. Your buying rates stay yours.

Features
Each building block replaces an operation you already perform manually several times a day.
Reads emails and attachments, extracts operational fields, detects missing information and drafts the customer follow-up.
Road, FCL, LCL and combinations: each mode is priced with its own items, from pre-carriage to terminal charges.
Quotes on your letterhead, incoterm and validity wording, transport documents attached to the file and archived.
Parallel requests to your partners, follow-up tracking and comparison of offers on consistent criteria.

In progressWho it is for
Priority markets: West Africa, North Africa and Europe, with particular focus on the Asia–Africa and Europe–Africa corridors.
You work alone or as a pair, and every hour spent re-keying is an hour not spent selling.
You handle dozens of files a week across several corridors, with a team you need to grow without overloading.
You manage your own shipments and want to seriously compare options before booking transport.
You constantly arbitrate between FCL and LCL and need a reliable door-to-door comparison, local charges included.
Pricing
Exact prices are being finalised: plans are indicative and discussed based on your file volume.
For the independent broker or the two-to-three person team that wants to stop re-keying data.
