The digital supply chain
for Africa's
finest goods.

CrateWings verifies every batch from farm and mine to global buyer — then certifies the goods, finances the trade, and ships by dedicated air cargo or sea. One supply chain. Source to settlement.

The platform

One verified record.
The whole trade.

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

CrateWings Origin

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

Dedicated Cargo

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

CrateWings Market

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

Embedded 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.

How it works

Five steps.
Source to settlement.

01

Tag at source

Each batch is registered and tagged at the farm or mine. The record opens on-chain — immutable from the start.

02

Verify & certify

Our team inspects, grades and certifies at a partner facility. Quality, phytosanitary, ESG — all bound to the record.

03

Order & finance

A verified buyer orders against the record. Embedded credit funds either side. No bank history required.

04

Consolidate & ship

Cargo consolidated and dispatched by dedicated air freight for perishables, or by sea via shipping-line partners for minerals.

05

Deliver & settle

Goods delivered and tracked end-to-end. Escrow settles producer, buyer and partners on confirmation.

CrateWings Origin

Trust isn't claimed.
It's recorded.

Every listing on CrateWings is bound to an Origin record — verified at source, certified at a partner facility, and tracked to delivery. That is why buyers can transact, and lenders can finance.

The record is immutable. It follows the shipment from the farm gate to the buyer's warehouse. Shareable with any buyer. Acceptable to any certifier.

CrateWings Finance

Your cargo
is your collateral.

Africa's $120B trade finance gap exists because banks require credit history most producers do not have. We use your verified cargo record as security instead. Apply inside your booking. Fast decision based on what you're actually shipping.

Every shipment leaves a record a lender can underwrite
