Founded in 2018 by Obi Ozor, Kobo360 is revolutionizing Africa’s supply chain landscape. What began as a vision to solve inefficiencies in transporting goods across the continent has grown into a technology-driven platform connecting manufacturers and cargo owners with truck operators. Kobo360’s mission is clear: to simplify logistics, enhance transparency, and empower African businesses to thrive by leveraging technology.
Streamlining Logistics Across Africa
Kobo360 addresses one of the continent’s most pressing challenges – the need for efficient and reliable transportation of goods. By connecting cargo owners with truck operators through its digital platform, the company ensures raw materials move seamlessly from ports to manufacturers, and finished goods reach customers without unnecessary delays.
Using data analytics and artificial intelligence, Kobo360 optimizes routes, reduces communication gaps, and improves delivery efficiency in real time. These innovations allow businesses to save costs, plan better, and enhance customer satisfaction.
A Tech-Driven Platform for Businesses
The Kobo360 platform integrates end-to-end logistics services, including freight forwarding, warehousing, and real-time tracking. Big data and AI tools provide predictive insights, enabling companies to make informed operational decisions and reduce inefficiencies.
By contracting truck drivers through the platform, businesses no longer bear the burden of maintaining their own fleet. This model ensures companies only pay for delivery services, eliminating unnecessary overhead costs while improving operational efficiency.
Pan-African Reach and Strategic Partnerships
Headquartered in Lagos, Nigeria, Kobo360 has expanded to six African countries, including Ghana, Kenya, Burkina Faso, and Ivory Coast. The company partners with major multinationals like Nestle, Unilever, and Lafarge, as well as local businesses, serving sectors ranging from FMCG to agriculture, construction, and oil and gas. By connecting over 50,000 truck operators with cargo owners, Kobo360 has created a vast, reliable network that facilitates both local and cross-border deliveries.
