The reality

Expansion should not start with a warehouse lease.

Many sellers want to reach customers in another African market, but the cost of opening a warehouse, hiring a local team, finding riders, and managing returns can slow growth before it starts. MFT gives sellers a more practical route.

New market setup is expensive

Warehousing, staffing, riders, and local coordination take time and money.

Cross-border movement can be unclear

Routes, documentation, product type, and clearance requirements vary by market.

Last-mile delivery is still local

Even cross-border orders need reliable local delivery or collection once they arrive.

Returns need a plan

Without a return flow, sellers lose control after the first delivery attempt.

MFT's route model

One fulfillment partner. Practical regional routes. Local delivery at the destination.

MFT's cross-border model is simple: sellers place stock in one market, MFT supports movement through practical regional corridors, and the destination market handles delivery, PUDO collection, customer updates, and return coordination where available.

This is not "global shipping." This is regional fulfillment built around how African commerce actually moves.

Route structure

Two corridors. Seven connected markets.

MFT focuses on practical African corridors where sellers can expand with better control and less operational burden.

East Africa Corridor
Kenya
Tanzania
Uganda
Zambia

Designed for sellers and importers moving stock between major commercial markets in the region.

Example use cases

  • A seller stores stock in Kenya and serves Uganda or Tanzania
  • A Tanzanian brand expands into Kenya or Zambia
  • A regional importer uses one market as a stock base before distributing across nearby countries
  • A seller uses PUDO collection to reduce failed delivery attempts in destination markets
West Africa Corridor
Ghana
Nigeria
Senegal

Supports sellers entering large consumer markets without immediately opening a full local operation in each country.

Example use cases

  • A Ghana-based seller serves Nigerian customers
  • A Nigerian brand tests demand in Ghana or Senegal
  • A regional seller uses MFT support for fulfillment, delivery coordination, and collection options
  • An importer distributes inventory through selected West African markets
How it works

From storage to destination delivery.

A simple cross-border flow sellers can understand.

  1. 1

    Choose your base market

    Select where stock will be stored or first received — Kenya, Tanzania, Ghana, or Nigeria depending on flow and target market.

  2. 2

    Send stock to MFT

    MFT receives products, records inventory, and prepares them for fulfillment.

  3. 3

    Orders are processed

    MFT picks, packs, labels, and prepares orders for local or cross-border dispatch.

  4. 4

    Products move through the route

    Orders or batch shipments move through the relevant corridor using MFT's partner route network.

  5. 5

    Destination delivery or PUDO

    Once in the destination market, orders are delivered to the customer or routed to a pickup point where available.

  6. 6

    Status updates and follow-up

    Sellers receive updates on order status, delivery progress, collection, returns, or issue escalation.

What MFT actually handles

Cross-border fulfillment is more than moving parcels.

Warehousing

Store products in selected MFT-supported markets.

Pick & Pack

Prepare customer orders accurately before dispatch.

Regional Dispatch

Move orders through practical cross-border routes.

Local Delivery

Coordinate destination-market delivery where available.

PUDO Collection

Give customers a trusted pickup option in supported areas.

Returns Support

Support return flows through selected pickup and delivery channels.

COD Coordination

Support cash-on-delivery workflows where available and agreed.

Seller Updates

Provide sellers with clear status visibility and follow-up records.

Customs & clearance — what to expect

We support the process. We don't promise the outcome.

Customs and clearance support depends on product type, route, destination market, and documentation provided.

Documents to prepare before movement

  • Commercial invoice
  • Packing list
  • Product description
  • Quantity and declared value
  • Country of origin
  • Product category
  • Compliance documents where applicable
  • Destination-market requirements where applicable
Important: Clearance timelines, duties, and approvals are determined by the destination authority. MFT coordinates the process — we do not guarantee outcomes or speeds set by customs.

Clearer order visibility

Track movement, delivery status, collection, returns, and escalation.

Built for African realities

Designed around customer availability, addressing, COD, and returns.

One operator, one record

A single fulfillment partner across the corridor — fewer handoffs.
