The platform
The infrastructure gap in African trade is not one gap. It is four: provenance, logistics, market access, and finance. CrateWings closes all four.
origin.cratewings.com
Per-unit, on-chain traceability. Every batch tagged and verified at source, certified at a partner facility, tracked to delivery. The record that unlocks finance, markets and premium prices.
Air & Sea logistics
Perishables consolidated and shipped by air via our dedicated cargo airline partner across West and Central Africa. Minerals moved by sea via shipping-line partners to EU, US and Asia.
market.cratewings.com
Global buyers source only traced, certified, cargo-ready African goods. Every listing is backed by an Origin record. No unverifiable claims. No broken logistics chains. Just transactions that complete.
CrateWings Finance
Working capital for producers. Purchase finance for buyers. Both underwritten from verified trade records — not bank statements most African producers do not have. Your cargo is your collateral.
What we move
We focus only on goods where traceability, speed or compliance creates a price premium — so every shipment earns across certification, finance, and freight at once.
CrateWings also moves pharmaceuticals, fashion, textiles, manufacturing goods, and all other air-freight cargo from Africa. Tell us what you carry →

How trade finance works
Producers draw working capital. Buyers extend terms. Lenders see counterparty, quality and payment history in one place.
