In the fast-evolving landscape of e-commerce, efficient and reliable last mile delivery isn’t just a differentiator it’s essential for business growth and customer trust. AfriGIS delivers contextual insights and location intelligence solutions that empower logistics providers and retailers to optimise their delivery operations whether navigating bustling cities or rural landscapes across Africa. 

Precision Address Validation and Geocoding

Accurate deliveries start with accurate addresses. One of the biggest hurdles in last mile delivery is tackling incomplete or inaccurate address data, which leads to failed drop-offs, repeated delivery attempts and dissatisfied customers. At AfriGIS we solve this using advanced address validation and geocoding technology that standardises, cleanses and verifies addresses, pinpointing the precise latitude and longitude for every stop. This ensures your delivery teams and your customers know exactly where packages need to go, improving first-time delivery rates and eliminating unnecessary delays.

Optimising Delivery Operations

Every successful journey is built on seamless integration and smart planning. Our geo-enabled APIs plug directly into your existing systems, powering accurate route planning, dispatch management and real-time delivery tracking. These optimisations drive down operational costs, minimise delays, and create a superior customer experience turning your last mile into a true competitive advantage.

Supporting Africa’s E-Commerce Boom

Africa’s digital retail space is growing rapidly, with more consumers demanding fast, secure deliveries wherever they are. Our solutions are tailor-made for the continent’s unique geography: managing urban expansion, informal settlements and rural areas where traditional addresses may not exist. Leveraging AfriGIS’s location intelligence, e-commerce businesses unlock new growth, connect with more customers and set a new standard for delivery performance across diverse markets.

Proven Partnership Success

Leading logistics providers such as DSV, a global Transport and Logistics organisation transforms their delivery operations handling millions of parcels monthly with precision and efficiency. For example, a major logistics client increased first-time delivery success from below industry average to 93% within two years of implementing AfriGIS address validation. This resulted in substantial cost savings, reduced friction and increased customer satisfaction without adding new vehicles or major operational changes. Our technology empowers you to outpace the competition by making every delivery count.
