TOLO FREIGHT is digitizing freight logistics matching


  1. Ethiopia’s trucking industry is largely manual.
    The sector — valued at about 800 million Birr — still depends on phone calls, paper, and cash deals, causing inefficiencies.

  2. TOLO FREIGHT is digitizing freight matching.
    The homegrown multilingual digital marketplace connects shippers, carriers, and brokers via an app to streamline load matching.

  3. Documentation and tracking are being digitized.
    Contracts, tracking and paperwork are transitioned into the platform, reducing reliance on informal systems.

  4. The platform separates load matching from payment settlement.
    TOLO FREIGHT’s design accommodates Ethiopia’s cash-based market by keeping matching and payment distinct.

  5. Smaller shippers and drivers will benefit.
    The digital solution aims to cut costs, improve utilization, and help independent drivers and exporters access better freight options.
