Integrated Logistics

Integrated Logistics

Integrated Logistics is the coordination layer that sits over everything else Groupe Afristar does, the service that turns a shipment from Abidjan or Lomé into a single tracked movement instead of five separate handoffs between a trucker, a warehouse, a customs agent, and a receiving clerk. We build the route plan before cargo ever leaves the origin, so every leg is booked, sequenced, and accountable to one team.

This is the service most clients start with, because it's the one that exposes where a supply chain actually loses time. A consolidated shipment moving from a Ghanaian port to distribution points in Togo and Benin might touch three modes of transport and two customs jurisdictions, our job is to make that invisible to the client, who sees one status update, not three.

What Comes With Full-Chain Coordination

One route plan, one point of contact, and visibility that doesn't drop when cargo changes hands.

• A single route plan spanning road, sea, and air legs, built before pickup
• One account manager tracking the shipment end-to-end, not per-leg handoffs
• Consolidated status reporting instead of separate updates from each carrier

Where this service pays off most is in multi-country distribution, a client bringing goods into three coastal markets at once, for example. Rather than negotiating separately with a freight forwarder in each country, they get one plan that sequences the border crossings, allocates warehousing where cargo needs to rest, and flags the corridor most likely to cause delay before it happens.

Questions About Coordinated Shipments

Most questions here are about how many parties are actually involved behind the single point of contact, and how pricing works when a shipment spans multiple modes.
