African cross-border trade intelligence across 5 markets

African cross-border trade intelligence across 5 markets (Nigeria, Kenya, Ghana, South Africa, Zimbabwe), 27 cities and 22 trade routes. Three layers with very different ownership: (1) crowdsourced supply-chain friction reports — border delays, customs friction and logistics conditions, verified by the merchant community, updated live; (2) fuel-price series from government sources; (3) forex rates on a 4-hour refresh. Plus AI 'defensive strategy' recommendations with confidence scores, cargo-consolidation matching across markets, and peer benchmarking.

Dataset card

Type: not stated
Format: Tabular
Volume: Structured and route-dense rather than voluminous: 5 markets × 27 cities × 22 trade routes for friction reports (live-streamed, so the report count is the real metric and is unpublished), fuel prices on a government-source cadence, and forex on a 4-hour refresh (~6 observations per pair per day). The licensable object is the friction-report corpus, whose size is not disclosed.
Users: N/A — currently in Private Beta, offered free for 30 days to the first 100 African SMEs, so the account base is deliberately tiny and undisclosed; the merchant reporting network rather than the account count is the asset
History: not stated
Update frequency: not stated
Growth: Active and pre-scale — private beta recruiting its first cohort, expansion to Tanzania, Uganda and Senegal planned for Q3 2026, and further integrations (QuickBooks, Odoo, Teams) queued; SOC 2 infrastructure foundation with a March 2026 security audit signals real investment behind an early product
Launched: est. 2025-2026 — the platform is explicitly in Private Beta recruiting its first 100 SMEs, and its most recent dated artefact is a March 2026 security audit, indicating a very recent build
