What makes selling to transport & logistics institutions difficult?

Kenyan SMEs face specific hurdles when targeting transport & logistics buyers. Fanel was built to solve them.

Transport procurement is volume-driven with thin margins — buyers negotiate hard and switch vendors for even small cost differences.

The Mombasa-Nairobi corridor dominates logistics decisions, and vendors without presence along this route struggle to compete.

Customs clearing and forwarding requires specific KEBS and KRA compliance documentation that vendors must have ready before engagement.
