Specialised advisory for logistics operators, transport companies, supply chain managers, ports and logistics infrastructure operators working in Mozambique, Angola, Malawi, South Africa and international markets.
Logistics in Lusophone Africa faces deep structural challenges: deficient road and rail infrastructure, multiple borders with slow customs processes, among the highest transport costs in the world, and supply chains fragmented between producers, distributors and end markets. In Mozambique and Angola, logistics corridors to neighbouring countries account for a significant share of traffic, but suffer from lack of investment and coordination.
In parallel, the opportunity is enormous. Demand for quality logistics services is growing across the region, driven by trade expansion, e-commerce and the integration of regional value chains. New logistics corridors are being developed, ports are being modernised, and institutional investors — infrastructure funds, multilateral banks and international operators — are channelling significant capital into the region.
Our experience shows that the logistics operators that will lead are those able to balance three things: operational efficiency, regional integration and financial capacity. This is precisely where we come in.
Six areas where our engagement creates direct value for operators, managers and investors.
Supply chain design and optimisation — including route analysis, fleet sizing, logistics cost optimisation and integration with international value chains.
Financial structuring of logistics projects — including fleet acquisition, warehousing expansion, port infrastructure investment and working capital financing. Negotiation with multilateral banks and institutional investors.
Operational excellence in logistics — including fleet management, route optimisation, warehouse management, cost control and implementation of transport management systems (TMS) and warehouse management systems (WMS).
Advisory on port and logistics infrastructure — including terminal assessment, concession structuring, integration with logistics corridors and development of logistics zones.
Alignment with transport and logistics regulatory frameworks — including licensing, customs regulation, international transit regimes and interaction with customs and port authorities.
Specialised tax advisory in logistics and transport — including sector-specific tax regimes, tax compliance across multiple jurisdictions, customs regimes for fleet imports and negotiation with tax authorities.
Three dimensions that respond to the real challenges of logistics operators in Africa.
Logistics profitability in Africa depends on rigorous operational excellence. We help operators optimise routes, fleets, warehouses and supply chains with measurable impact on profitability.
Logistics expansion in Africa requires significant capital — to renew fleets, expand warehousing, invest in port infrastructure and strengthen working capital. We help operators structure that financing with multilateral banks and institutional investors.
Logistics in Africa is increasingly regional — logistics corridors link ports to inland countries, and regional integration is the key to scale. We help operators position themselves strategically in these corridors.
Concrete experience in each segment, with dedicated teams and local presence through member firms.
We support road hauliers, rail operators and specialised transport companies in operational optimisation, fleet expansion and financial structuring.
We work with warehouse operators, distribution centres and fulfilment service providers in optimisation, expansion and professionalisation.
We support port operators, terminal managers and logistics infrastructure investors in structuring, optimisation and development of new projects.
Structured products that solve specific problems of operators, managers and investors.
Structured operational optimisation programme for logistics operators — including route optimisation, fleet management, warehouse redesign and TMS/WMS implementation.
Specialised financial structuring service for logistics projects — including multi-currency model, guarantee structure, fleet leasing and roadmap to financial close.
Specialised analysis of regional logistics corridors — including traffic analysis, infrastructure, regulation and strategic positioning opportunities.
Technical audit of fleet and logistics infrastructure — including asset valuation, technical compliance verification and preparation for financing.
Methodology tested in logistics projects across Mozambique, Angola and Malawi. Senior dedicated teams, with local presence through member firms.
We understand the operation, the market, the regulatory framework, the competitors and the strategic partners before proposing any solution.
We design executable plans, with clear priorities, realistic budget, defined owners and success metrics established before starting.
We stay alongside the teams during implementation — on the ground, in the warehouses and in partner negotiations, not from the outside.
We measure progress at every stage. We report to the board and to financiers whenever it makes sense.
Concrete examples of projects delivered for logistics operators and investors in the region.
