Terminal

Terminal (Terminal Africa) operates a shipping and delivery aggregation platform for African, and specifically Nigerian, businesses and consumers. Users create an account and book local or international shipments through a web dashboard or mobile app, comparing rates across multiple partnered couriers rather than depending on a single carrier. The company describes itself as a delivery aggregator: when a customer submits a request, Terminal passes the shipment details to the chosen delivery partner, which performs the pickup and delivery within an agreed timeline.

The product set spans three main audiences: T-Hub for logistics/3PL business owners, e-commerce integrations that automate shipping for online merchants, and the T-Ship API for developers, which exposes endpoints for managing addresses (create, get, update, validate), couriers (list, enable, disable) and claims on lost or damaged parcels. Additional features include shipment tracking, a rate/delivery calculator, in-app wallet funding in Nigerian naira, purchasable packaging, insurance, and a "Deliver to Nigeria" service that lets customers buy from international retailers that do not ship to Nigeria and receive the goods locally. The mobile app is available for Android and iOS, with the Android listing showing over 1,000 downloads and access to 13+ local and international couriers.

Business model

Terminal intermediates between shippers and courier companies: customers book deliveries on its platform, prepay via a wallet or at checkout, and the selected courier executes the delivery. Rates are set by the courier used and vary by parcel weight or by distance between pickup and delivery points; Terminal states its rates are lower across the board than booking directly and offers refunds to the customer wallet when a delivery is cancelled before pickup or not completed. It also sells packaging and insurance, and offers an API and e-commerce integrations for business customers.

Traction

The company's site cites more than 98,000 shipments, more than 18,000 customers, 50+ businesses and 13+ couriers, with access advertised to 20+ local and international delivery partners; the Android app reports 1,000+ downloads.
