In 2016, Lori Systems was launched in Nairobi, Kenya to compete against the likes of Kobo360, Bwala, and Sendy. It is an e-logistics service provider that connects cargo owners with truck fleets. It helps them track the movement of shipments and to realize on-time delivery at lower costs across Africa.

 

The company has business operations in Kenya, South Sudan, Democratic Republic of Congo, Ethiopia, Rwanda, Uganda, and recently in Ghana and Nigeria. They have multiple bids associated with the newly built $4 billion railroad system in East Africa. The team has grown from 15 to 70 since February. Some of their business partners include McKinsey, NASA, and DHL.
