Digitizing port logistics for East African trade

A unified operations platform replacing spreadsheets and phone calls with real-time shipment tracking across Mombasa port corridors.

Challenge

Coastal Logistics managed 200+ daily shipments using disconnected spreadsheets, WhatsApp groups, and manual status updates. Delays were common and clients had no visibility into their cargo.

Solution

ESSEM designed and built a web platform with driver mobile views, automated status notifications, and a client portal — integrated with existing accounting tools.

Time to launch
