Freight in Kenya deserves better than a phone call and a guess
Most businesses moving goods in Kenya today still rely on a broker's phone number, a driver they hope is available, and a fare they negotiate on the spot. PickApp exists to replace that with something you can see, trust, and rely on.
Broker-run freight doesn't scale, and it doesn't build trust
A shipper calling around for a lorry has no way to compare trucks, no fixed price until someone quotes one, and no way to know where their cargo is once it leaves. A driver, meanwhile, often drives home empty after a delivery because there's no way to find a return load. Both sides lose to the same problem: freight in Kenya runs on relationships and phone calls, not on a marketplace.
A digital marketplace for Kenyan freight
PickApp lets you book a verified truck in under 60 seconds, from a motorbike to a 30-tonne container. You see the fare upfront — base fare plus distance, no negotiation — and you pay via M-Pesa, with your money protected until your delivery is confirmed. We're building this corridor by corridor, onboarding real drivers before we promise more than we can deliver.
Founded in Nairobi, built by people who've lived the problem
PickApp was founded in Nairobi by a team with a background in quality and compliance management at a multinational manufacturing plant, combined with software development experience. That combination matters: freight doesn't get fixed with a nice app alone — it gets fixed with the same process discipline used to run a factory floor, applied to trucks, drivers, and deliveries.
