Digitizing Logistics: A Custom Solution for ‘Swift Movers’
The Client Swift Movers, a mid-sized logistics and transport company operating between Nakuru and Nairobi.
The Challenge Swift Movers was drowning in paperwork. Waybills were handwritten, lost frequently, and tracking was done via phone calls. They were losing clients to digital-first competitors because they couldn’t provide real-time cargo updates.
The Solution The Africa Tech Space Dev Team stepped in to build a custom solution.
Discovery: We spent a week shadowing their drivers to understand the workflow.
Development: We built a mobile-first logistics platform allowing drivers to scan cargo via phone and admins to track trucks via GPS.
Deployment: We trained their non-technical staff on how to use the dashboard effectively.
The Impact
Operational Efficiency: Paperwork was reduced by 95%, and cargo loss incidents dropped to zero in the first quarter.
Revenue Growth: Swift Movers used the new “Real-Time Tracking” feature as a selling point, increasing their client base by 30%.
Testimonial: “We thought software was too expensive for a transport business. Africa Tech Space built a solution that paid for itself in three months.” — Director of Operations, Swift Movers
