Company Overview
Lori Systems is an African e-logistics company that operates a technology-driven marketplace connecting cargo owners with transporters. The platform aims to digitize and optimize haulage across the continent, thereby reducing costs, increasing truck utilization, and improving supply chain transparency. Founded in 2016 and headquartered in Nairobi, Kenya, the company provides solutions for real-time tracking, digital documentation, and automated payments. After a period of rapid growth and significant venture funding from investors including Google, Lori Systems has faced financial challenges, leading to a recent bridge funding round in April 2025 at a lower valuation. The company is now recalibrating its strategy to focus on profitability and a new financing model in partnership with banks.
