Tech Logistics company, Kobo360, has opened shop in Togo. The company recently raised $6 million from IFC to fund its operations.
According to Obi Uzor, Kobo360’s co-founder, “This is part of our expansion across Africa which has been in effect since last year. Our mission is to build the global logistics operating system that will power trade and commerce across Africa and emerging markets. Togo is a key part of that drive.”
The Kobo360 team is expected to be in Lome this week to meet with government officials, partners and interview applicants to fill several open positions in the company’s Lome branch.
Kobo360 is a tech-enabled logistics platform that aggregates end-to-end haulage operations to help cargo owners, truck owners drivers, and cargo recipients to achieve an efficient supply chain framework.
Through an all-in-one robust logistics ecosystem, Kobo uses big data and technology to reduce logistics frictions, empowering rural farmers to earn more by reducing farm wastages and helping manufacturers of all sizes to find new markets.
The company will be opening branches in Ghana and Kenya soon.
