Rooted in Africa. Moving cargo worldwide.

PortiQuote is a freight forwarder marketplace built in Nairobi. Shippers post a consignment once; vetted forwarders across Africa compete for it with priced quotes — ocean, air, road, and RoRo, on lanes reaching Europe, Asia, the Gulf, and the Americas.

A caravan is how goods have always moved: many traders on one route, travelling together because nobody crosses the distance alone. Every shipment needs the right forwarder — one who actually runs that lane, knows that port, and clears that cargo. Finding them usually means ringing round for days. Here you describe the cargo once, and the forwarders who genuinely cover your route come to you with prices.

The platform was founded by a freight operations professional with years of hands-on forwarding experience across East African corridors — Incoterms negotiated, RoRo bookings made, IMDG declarations filed, and demurrage fought over. It is built for the way African freight actually works, including M-Pesa as a first-class payment rail.
