Flexport, a freight forwarding and customs brokerage based in the United States, was founded in 2013, whereas On Deck is a business accelerator. They administer ODX Flexport, which has selected OnePort 365 to provide funding and support to businesses through a community-backed program. OnePort 365 is a digital freight management software that enables African cross-border traders manage their freight processes. It is now operational in Nigeria and Ghana. The platform gives African firms end-to-end digital access to all-inclusive seamless freight forwarding, increasing efficiency and cutting costs. The initiative will assist the startup’s dedication to improving the trading process for African cross-border traders, using technology to structure and automate freight management operations, according to the company, which counts Samurai Incubate and the CcHub Syndicate among its investors. “We are aware of the challenges involved when dealing with the import and export of goods from this part of the world. We deal with a lot of exporters daily and the process can be quite complex. Our purpose is to usher in a radical change that enhances Africa’s participation in global trade with a complete systemic transformation,” said co-founder Hio Sola-Usidame.
