Kani replaces spreadsheets, paper trails, and WhatsApp approvals with a single cloud platform — from Bill of Lading to final payment. Built specifically for logistics companies in Tanzania and East Africa.
Bills of Lading in email, container tracking in spreadsheets, expenses on paper — critical data lives everywhere except where you need it.
Chasing expense approvals through phone calls and WhatsApp messages wastes hours every day and delays critical payments.
Without centralized tracking, it's impossible to see how much is owed, what's approved, and where the money is going — across currencies.
From the moment a document arrives to the final payment — Kani covers the complete lifecycle of every shipment.
Track every import from document receipt to final delivery. Capture Bill of Lading, vessel details, container manifests, ETAs, consignees, and discharge terminals — all with auto-generated document IDs.
Manage export bookings from engagement to loading. Support for local and transit exports, booking numbers, payment cut‑off dates, and seal number tracking.
Attach expenses to any shipment with a rigorous two-level approval process that mirrors real logistics hierarchies. Multi-currency support with automatic TZS conversion.
Record payments against approved expenses with automatic status updates. First-class support for mobile money, bank transfers, and batch payments.
Maintain a complete customer registry for individuals and businesses — linked directly to their shipments and financial records.
Automatic rate fetching from external APIs with manual override capability. Supports USD, EUR, GBP, TZS, KES, UGX with historical rate lookup.
Stop chasing approvals. Get instant in-app and browser push notifications when expenses need review, get approved, or are rejected.
Attach files to any record — imports, exports, customers, or expenses. Supports PDF, Word, Excel, and images with per-tenant isolated storage.
Get an at-a-glance view of total imports, exports, customers, and pending approvals with a recent activity feed and expandable analytics.
Three-tier role system — Admin, Manager, User — with permissions that mirror real logistics company hierarchies.
Configure master data once — points of entry, shipping lines, ports, countries, consignees — and reuse across all documents consistently.

Your company gets a dedicated, isolated database provisioned in seconds. No shared data, no compromises on privacy.

User creates expense request and attaches to shipment
Manager reviews details, approves or rejects with comments
Admin gives final authorization — expense is approved for payment
Payment recorded via M-Pesa, bank transfer, or other methods
Generic logistics software wasn't built with Dar es Salaam port procedures, TZS exchange rates, or M-Pesa payments in mind. Kani was.
Not row-level filtering — each client gets an entirely separate database. Your data never shares space with another company's records.
TZS as base currency, support for regional currencies (KES, UGX), regional ports and points of entry pre-configured. This is your market's tool.
M-Pesa, Tigo Pesa, and Airtel Money aren't afterthoughts — they're first-class payment methods, right alongside bank transfers and cards.
Every action is tracked — who requested it, who reviewed it, who approved or rejected it, when it happened, and why. Complete accountability.
Two-level expense approval that mirrors how logistics companies actually work — not a generic "approve/deny" button.
Instant push notifications when action is needed. No more phone calls chasing approvals — everyone stays informed automatically.
No hidden fees. No infrastructure to manage. Onboard in minutes, pay for what you use.
For small forwarding offices getting started with digital operations.
For growing logistics companies with multiple team members.
For large operations needing dedicated support and customization.
Logistics companies handle sensitive commercial data. Kani is built with security at every layer.
Each company has its own dedicated database. Your data never shares tables, queries, or storage with anyone else.
Short-lived tokens with automatic refresh. Secure password hashing. No session data stored on the server.
Every login attempt is logged with IP, user agent, and failure reason. Suspicious activity is easy to spot and investigate.
Every expense request, review, approval, rejection, and payment is logged with who acted, when, and why.
Users can only access what their role permits. Admins, Managers, and Users each see exactly what they need.
Cross-origin requests are restricted. Only authorized domains can communicate with the Kani API.
