Predict. Reroute. Optimise.
FreightAssist is an AI‑powered freight intelligence layer that predicts disruption across sea, rail, road, and air cargo, and automatically recommends or executes optimal alternatives.
What breaks today
Shipments disappear into customs for weeks with no visibility or updates
Missing or incorrect documents cause costly delays and rejected shipments.
Banks won't finance exports without verified, real-time shipment proof
What FreightAssist does
FreightAssist monitors global freight networks in real-time, predicts disruption before it impacts your shipments, and automatically recommends or
executes optimal alternative routes — keeping cargo moving and costs predictable.

What's real vs roadmap
We're transparent about what's live, what depends on data, and what's planned.
- WhatsApp-based shipment tracking and document upload
- AI document verification (Bill of Lading, invoices, customs forms)
- Delay prediction based on historical carrier performance
- Real-time vessel tracking via AIS (Automatic Identification System) integration
- Multi-modal tracking (ocean, air, road) in single view
- Customs clearance predictions depend on port authority API availability
- Delay accuracy improves with carrier integration depth (some carriers share limited data)
- Letter of Credit approval depends on bank partnership and verification rules
- Automated dispute resolution for customs hold-ups
- Integration with PAPSS (Pan-African Payment System) for cross-border payments
Limitations & Dependencies
FreightAssist predictions depend on customs authority data feeds and carrier API availability.
Accuracy improves with data quality and
integration depth.
Some African ports have limited digital infrastructure. We work with what's available and are
transparent about prediction confidence levels
for each route.
