Lori Systems

Lori Systems is a logistics technology company founded in 2016 in Nairobi, Kenya. It was created to address the fragmented and inefficient road freight market across Africa, where cargo owners and truck operators often transact through informal, opaque channels with unpredictable pricing and low vehicle utilization.

The platform matches cargo owners with a network of vetted transporters, providing instant rate estimation, order tracking, electronic delivery confirmation, digital payment processing and cargo insurance. Lori Systems operates across 12 African countries with more than 20,000 trucks connected, serving industrial shippers, distributors and logistics companies that need reliable long-haul road transport.

1. Instant quoting: shippers get a real-time freight rate before confirming a booking.

2. Vetted carrier network: trucks and drivers are screened before joining the marketplace.

3. Shipment tracking: cargo owners can follow truck location and delivery status en route.

4. Digital payment: freight charges are settled electronically instead of cash on delivery.

5. Cargo insurance: shipments booked through the platform are covered against loss or damage.

6. Electronic proof of delivery: recipients confirm receipt digitally, closing the order.
