About us
Digitizing the Future of African Trade
Our Mission
At 11bay, we are building the infrastructure for seamless cross-border trade across Africa.
Our mission is simple yet powerful:
Empower Africa’s SMEs to trade faster, smarter, and more profitably — with predictive logistics, intelligent sourcing, and bonded operations.
We believe Africa’s $500B+ B2B trade opportunity will be unlocked by those who eliminate friction, digitize compliance, and create trusted trade corridors.
What We Deliver
- REX-11: Predictive routing, bonded reallocation, and real-time customs compliance.
- SmartSource#: Intelligent supplier matching and true landed cost calculations.
- Bonded Ops: Connected warehouse operations powered by IoT.
- All in one integrated, corridor-wide fulfillment platform.
Why It Matters
- Unlocking Margin: SMEs regain lost profits through automation and compliance intelligence.
- Scaling Opportunity: Africa’s intra-trade corridors (China–East Africa–inland) are opening fast.
- Driving Growth: Trade success creates jobs, builds resilience, and fuels long-term economic development.
- Borderless trade isn't just a dream — it's the next reality.
Our Values
- Trust First: Build systems and relationships grounded in transparency and reliability.
- Velocity with Purpose: Move fast — but always with strategic clarity and long-term thinking.
- Customer-Driven: Design everything for the SME’s success, not just our platform’s convenience.
- Resilience by Design: Build for the real-world conditions of African trade corridors, not just ideal scenarios.

Our Story
Trade is the lifeblood of Africa’s economy — yet outdated processes, manual customs, and fragmented logistics systems continue to cost SMEs up to 30% of their margins.
We founded 11bay to solve this.
Our platform combines AI-driven orchestration, IoT-powered bonded warehouses, and intelligent sourcing tools — designed from the ground up for Africa’s emerging trade corridors.
By empowering SMEs to move goods seamlessly across borders, we are not just improving logistics — we are accelerating prosperity.
