RouteIQ Wins the Smart Logistics Innovation Award at the West Africa Logistics Awards (WALA)

Africa’s delivery and mobility ecosystem is changing rapidly, and businesses now face increasing pressure to move goods with precision, speed, and reliability. In the middle of that shift, RouteIQ, co-founded by Kelvin Anyamele, has become one of the standout companies helping businesses bring order to the chaos of everyday delivery operations. That impact was recently recognized at the West Africa Logistics Awards (WALA), where the company received the Smart Logistics Innovation Award for its contribution to last-mile efficiency and real-time delivery intelligence.

The company was founded with one clear mission: eliminate guesswork from logistics. Many African businesses still depend on manual coordination, inconsistent routing, and limited visibility; problems that create delays, increase costs, and frustrate customers. The company’s platform solves these issues with automated dispatching, adaptive route optimization, delivery tracking, and geo-mapping designed specifically for African cities and road conditions.

In announcing the award, WALA highlighted the company’s ability to simplify complex operations for SMEs and logistics teams that handle high-volume deliveries. Judges pointed to the platform’s tangible results, reduced fuel consumption, faster delivery cycles, better route accuracy, and improved customer satisfaction as key reasons for its selection.

With this recognition, Kelvin Anyamele, Co-founder at RouteIQ, said: “What drives us is clarity, helping businesses move with structure, not stress. This award strengthens our commitment to building logistics systems that match Africa’s realities and give businesses the confidence to deliver consistently.”

One of the company’s greatest strengths is its ability to adapt to real-world movement patterns. The platform factors in traffic surges, blocked roads, informal routes, rider behavior, and historical delivery data, creating routing intelligence that reflects how African cities actually function. This practical approach has made the company a trusted partner for e-commerce brands, food vendors, retail stores, courier companies, and regional logistics providers.

Beyond the technology, the company is also investing in the people responsible for daily delivery work. Through rider training sessions, onboarding support for SMEs, and efficiency workshops, the company is helping teams improve reliability, reduce operational errors, and build stronger customer relationships. These programs have had measurable impact: shorter delivery windows, smoother coordination, and increased earning potential for riders.

The Smart Logistics Innovation Award recognizes companies that not only build strong technology but also create meaningful improvements across the supply chain. For the company, the award signals industry validation of its balanced approach, combining engineering depth with user-friendly systems that work for businesses of all sizes.

As demand for reliable last-mile delivery continues to grow, the company is positioning itself as a key enabler of Africa’s evolving supply chain. By prioritizing intelligence, transparency, and local-context design, the company is helping businesses operate with the kind of discipline and predictability that modern commerce demands.

In an industry where reliability determines growth, the company has become more than a logistics tool, it is a partner enabling businesses to deliver smarter, scale faster, and compete confidently in a dynamic marketplace.
