Great Lakes Logistics (GLL) moves goods across one of the most complex trade corridors in East Africa. Cross-border routes, multiple currencies, fragmented payment cycles. The friction is built into the geography. GLL decided the answer was not more trucks. It was better infrastructure.

With Foundry, GLL structured its fleet operations into a single auditable system. Routes are tracked, assets are logged, and fleet performance is visible in real time. Idle time dropped by 34%. Delivery accuracy improved across every cross-border route they operate.

Current closed the financial loop. By establishing a direct settlement corridor between Canada and Rwanda, capital now moves at the same speed as the cargo it supports. Drivers and suppliers are paid in minutes, not weeks. GLL is proving that the future of African logistics runs on infrastructure, not just asphalt.
