Anyone has good resources on how companies set-up their logistic network in Africa? I found an article on Coca Cola but I am rather looking for heavy machinery companies

Africa is massive and has a large number of countries with different regulations, economies, and markets. There is no one size fits all option like in the US.

Many shippers take advantage of global FF and 3PL who already have an established network of agents they cant operate through. If you are not manufacturing but just importing and transporting through the continent it might be a good idea to give one of them a call.

Hi Everyone,

At the moment I'm a procurement consultant in London, but want to make a move towards supply chain consulting.

Do you have any advice on how to make the transition (e.g. firms which would help me transition or courses to upskill myself before applying)?
