How It Works

Three Pillars of Logistics & Field Services Cloud DMS

Nigerian logistics and field-service operations turn on three things: hub-spoke dispatch that moves goods from the Lagos gateway to upcountry depots in Onitsha, Aba, Kano, Ibadan, and Port Harcourt; offline-first tracking of every rider, van, and field engineer through blackouts and patchy network; and partner billing that ties fuel, distance, and SLA to settlement in Naira.

Apapa-to-Upcountry Hub-Spoke Dispatch

Consignments book through the cloud order queue from a shipper portal, API, or counter. The platform routes by corridor and hub class, tracks every handover from the Lagos gateway down to a depot in Kano or Onitsha, and flags a slow hub before the next dispatch cycle, with fuel and travel time built into the SLA.

Offline-First Rider, Van & Engineer Tracking

The mobile app keeps working when the grid drops or a market has no signal. Dispatch riders, van crews, and field-service engineers capture scans, proof of delivery, cash or transfer collection, and job status on the handset. Everything syncs the moment data returns, with cold-chain readings and NAFDAC-ready logs on regulated runs.

Partner Billing + RTO & POD Loop

Failed-delivery reasons, damage claims with a photo, and return-pickup scheduling close the reverse loop against landmark-based addresses. Contract pricing applies slabs, fuel surcharge, and SLA penalties, and partner billing reconciles to bank transfer, Opay, Moniepoint, and PalmPay settlements.

Complete Platform

Hub-to-Hub Dispatch, Inventory & Warehouse, Cold-Chain Compliance, GRN & Returns

One cloud DMS runs the full Nigerian logistics loop, from consignment and asset master setup through hub dispatch to RTO and damage returns, with corridor rules and settlement that understands cash, bank transfer, and fintech wallets.

Hub-to-Hub Order & Dispatch

Order automation with corridor routing, SLA allocation, fuel surcharge, and manifest consolidation. Consignments flow from the Lagos gateway to an upcountry rider or field crew with no rekeying, and route planning works around traffic and unnamed streets.

Inventory, Warehouse & Spare-Parts Control

Depot-wise stock for consignments, van-boot spare parts, and the return-leg pool. Warehouse covers bin, pick-pack, and inter-depot transfers between Lagos, Kano, and Onitsha. Batch tracking handles pharma and perishable lot traceability on cold-chain runs.

Cold-Chain & NAFDAC Traceability

Temperature logging on refrigerated runs, per-category threshold rules, instant breach alerts, and a full audit trail for drugs, vaccines, and frozen goods bound for pharmacies, PPMVs, and modern-trade cold rooms. NAFDAC and regulator queries are answered from the cloud, batch by batch.

GRN, Returns & Contract Scheme Automation

GRN against the shipper manifest with hub scan and short-landing capture, RTO and damage returns raising credit notes, and contract billing automation for slabs, fuel surcharge, and SLA penalties reconciled to Naira settlement.
