Freight forwarders in Francophone Africa manage thousands of packages with WhatsApp, paper notebooks & phone calls. Zero visibility for customers. Cofilo digitizes the entire workflow: package management, real-time tracking, SMS notifications, quote generation (PDF), branch & agent management, and a branded customer portal. Validated with 500+ freight forwarders via Figma prototype. Now building the full SaaS on Vercel.
Hey Product Hunt! π
We're building Cofilo β a SaaS platform to digitize freight forwarders (transitaires) across Francophone West & Central Africa.
π¨ The problem:
Freight forwarders manage hundreds of packages daily using WhatsApp groups, paper notebooks, and phone calls. Customers have zero visibility. It's chaotic, error-prone, and completely unscalable.
π‘ Our solution:
Cofilo gives transitaires a full digital backbone:
β Package management with auto-pricing
β Real-time tracking via a branded customer portal
β SMS notifications on every status change
β Quote generation with PDF export
β Branch & agent management
β Departure scheduling
π Traction:
We validated the concept with 500+ freight forwarders across Cameroon, Senegal, CΓ΄te d'Ivoire & Benin using a Figma prototype. The demand is real.
β‘ Why Vercel?
We're building Cofilo with v0 by Vercel. The platform's speed, global edge network, and seamless deployments are exactly what we need to serve 12 African countries β fast, even on 3G connections.
The $30k Vercel credits would be a massive accelerant to ship the full SaaS and onboard our first paying transitaires.
Would love your upvotes, feedback & questions! π
