O que Kobo360 faz

KOBO360 is powering African Enterprise through technology. The company was founded in 2018 to solve the inefficiencies in Africa’s supply chain, by creating a platform that connects manufacturers and cargo owners with truck operators, to move their goods seamlessly across the continent. KOBO's key focus is to accelerate economic development and sustainable growth in Africa through a streamlined delivery process of raw materials from ports to the manufacturer, and finished goods from the manufacturer to the last-mile customer. The company uses data analytics and artificial intelligence to reduce inefficiencies in last-mile delivery, provide transparency and visibility, reduce communication gaps within the entire ecosystem, optimize pick-ups and deliveries, and improve routes in real-time. Our predictive analysis also gives businesses valuable insights and enables them to make informed decisions, thereby enhancing productivity and improving customer experience. We have a physical presence in 7 African countries; Nigeria, Benin, Ghana, Uganda, Kenya, Côte d'Ivoire, Burkina Faso.

Describe what your company does in 50 characters or less.

Africa's leading supply chain technology platform

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We built a platform that connects manufacturers and cargo owners directly with truck operators across Africa. The platform uses data analytics and AI to reduce inefficiencies in last-mile delivery - improving route optimization, visibility, and communication for all parties involved. This helps move raw materials from ports to manufacturers and finished goods to customers more efficiently.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live in Lagos, Nigeria and Kampala, Uganda. After YC, we plan to keep our company based in Lagos, where we started and currently operate, while expanding into other African markets.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We chose Lagos because it's a major logistics hub in West Africa with a large industrial base. Our presence in Kampala taps into East African routes. Both locations let us serve multiple key markets in Africa and keep close to the supply chain challenges we're solving.
