The problem

Freight in Africa still runs on manual processes.

Coordination happens over phone calls, messaging apps, spreadsheets and paper. The result: hours lost chasing updates and re-entering data, little visibility on operations, and long payment cycles.

1

Everything moves through calls, WhatsApp and paper.

2

No real-time visibility on shipments.

3

Documents and proofs of delivery go missing.

4

Slow, opaque payments and settlements.

The platform

One platform, from request to settlement.

Every shipment lives in a single file, start to finish. Your team steers; Chargel handles the rest. And every role gets its own interface:

  • Carrier cockpit: dispatch, finance, fleet and an exceptions queue.
  • Shipper portal: your clients track their shipments and receive invoices.
  • Subcontractor app: offered loads, trucks, drivers and settlements.
  • Driver app: trips, GPS, expenses and proof of delivery. Even offline.
The Chargel platform, web and mobile
Network & capacity

An integrated capacity network. A complete operating platform.

At the heart of Chargel is a network of vetted carriers across West Africa's corridors. The network gives you access to capacity; the platform gives you end-to-end control. Every matched load arrives with its dispatch, tracking, proof of delivery and settlement built in.

  • Tap into a network of vetted carriers across the corridors.
  • Access capacity the moment you need it.
  • The network feeds the platform: a matched request becomes a managed file.
  • The more you operate, the sharper it gets: reliability, pricing, performance.

From sourcing capacity to getting paid, every shipment follows the same path, step by step, in one system.

Built for Africa

Born inside real operations, on West African roads.

Chargel was built from field reality: fragmented carrier markets, paper documents, WhatsApp coordination, mobile money, and payments held up by missing proofs of delivery. We built the system that handles all of it.

  • WhatsApp and voice notes in the core flow — not an afterthought.
  • Mobile and offline-first, for where the network drops.
  • Multilingual from day one.
  • Mobile money (Wave, Orange Money) built in.
  • Cross-border: customs and corridors, handled.
Day to day

Designed for every user in the chain.
