Africa Global Logistics (AGL), a leading transport and logistics player in Africa, has announced the launch of WeGoAfrica, an integrated logistics solution designed specifically for African small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Tailored to address the specific constraints faced by SMEs, this new offering aims to simplify access to markets, reduce logistics costs, and support the structuring and growth of local businesses, at a time when intra-African trade is gaining strong momentum.
While SMEs account for more than 90% of African businesses and play a central role in job creation and the continent’s economic growth, they continue to face persistent structural challenges. The complexity of logistics chains and administrative procedures, the high cost of digital solutions, and limited access to financing all act as barriers that undermine their competitiveness and restrict their ability to expand beyond domestic markets.
WeGoAfrica directly addresses these challenges through a value proposition built around six strategic pillars:
-
One Stop Ship’: a one-stop digital platform offering online quotations, shipment consolidation, route optimization, and real-time tracking;
-
Trust Every Mile: reliable first- and last-mile delivery, including in hard-to-reach areas, enabled by tailored multimodal solutions;
-
Warehousing Without Barriers: shared, flexible, and cost-effective warehousing solutions;
-
DocuBridge: simplified procedures to enhance administrative clarity and efficiency;
-
My Log’Coach: personalized support provided by logistics experts;
-
CashBoost: secure payment solutions and facilitated access to financing, developed in partnership with SafeTrade. In this regard, Guy Mountonga, co-founder of SafeTrade101, noted: “SafeTrade is building, together with AGL, an ecosystem where logistics and finance complement each other to support the growth of African SMEs.”
For AGL, WeGoAfrica is part of a broader strategy to position logistics as a driver of inclusive economic development. Leveraging its operational expertise, pan-African network, and digital solutions, the group delivers practical, immediately deployable services tailored to the needs of businesses across the continent.
“At AGL, we believe that SME growth is essential to the sustainable development of the continent. With WeGoAfrica, we aim to provide simple, reliable, and accessible solutions to help SMEs overcome logistics barriers and accelerate their expansion,” said Gregory Risterucci, AGL’s Chief Commercial Officer.
AGL thus reaffirms its ambition to remain at the heart of Africa’s transformations by equipping local players with the logistics capabilities needed to support their growth.
