Nigeria

One routing engine for Nigeria's couriers and riders.

Nigeria moves on last-mile, e-commerce dispatch, dispatch riders, informal transit across Lagos and beyond. Every drop is a route that changes, and on the usual stack every change is a billed map call. We are the engine that re-plans in milliseconds, in-region on your own map. The map, the licence and the location data stay in Nigeria, and stay with you (NDPA-aligned).

Built for how Nigeria actually delivers

Not a translated template. We tuned the engine for the day you actually run.

Two-wheeler first

Your last mile is okada motorbikes. Not vans. We route for the shortcuts a car can never take.

Real Nigeria addresses

Lagos streets run on informal addresses. So we find the door by landmark, not by a number that may not be there.

Keeps going through the go-slow

Signal drops. The plan does not. The whole day re-routes itself through fuel scarcity and go-slow traffic, offline.

Your data stays home

Nothing leaves Nigeria. It runs on your own servers, NDPR-aligned.

Pay in naira, through Paystack and Flutterwave. We built this for operators like GIG Logistics and Kwik. Want proof? Drop a real day of stops into the demo and watch it re-plan — in your own numbers.

Four ways in, all built for Nigeria

Each is the engine, not the map, so it runs inside your stack, on your hardware, with location data staying in the country.

Last-mile & dispatch

Parcels · e-commerce · D2C

A fast-growing last-mile market means the routing bill grows with every drop. Run the engine on your own servers and the cost stays flat as the fleet scales, densest OpenStreetMap coverage in West Africa.

Quick-commerce & riders

Dispatch riders · q-commerce

Rider dispatch lives or dies on the re-route. We absorb each order, rider or road change as a millisecond update. Fast at peak, even on patchy networks.

Inter-city fleets

Freight · 3PL · haulage

Long-haul routing on a per-call meter is brutal at Nigerian scale. Own the engine, route the whole fleet on one licence, and re-plan live.

Informal transit routing

Okada · keke · shared

The real network is informal. A low-cost engine you can host and tune routes the way Nigerian cities actually move, not a foreign black box.

How we work in Nigeria

We are the routing engine, the Lekola Cortex, not a maps product. You keep the map, the licence and the data.

In-region, your data stays home

The engine runs on the device or your own servers in-country. Routes and locations never leave.

Open map, no per-call bill

Runs on OpenStreetMap or your own road graph. You pay for the licence and your compute, not a meter on every re-route.

A kernel your team can own

We provide a clean engine your engineers host and own, not a black box.

Proven on your routes first

We start with a benchmarked pilot on your real routes, so the saving is measured in your own numbers before scale-up.

Why this wins. Nigeria's edge is sheer last-mile volume and a deep developer talent pool. A routing engine that is low-cost, in-region and millisecond-fast at re-routing is exactly the supplier this market rewards.

The proof, measured, reproducible

We bring a benchmark, not a brochure. Every number is reproducible with one command, on Nigeria's own cities.
