Our services

Integrated logistics, or a single service when that is all you need

We serve domestic and international markets from Dar es Salaam: clearance, freight forwarding, warehousing, transportation, port services, cargo handling and other managed logistics. Large accounts can take the full package; smaller ones can take one component.

Air freight forwarding

International and domestic air cargo connecting major markets. Time-definite, cost-effective moves from small consignments to large ones.

  • Door-to-door and airport-to-airport pricing
  • Charters and special cargo
  • Consolidation and direct-to-consignee

Ocean freight forwarding

Access to a global carrier portfolio through shipping-line partners: major ports, transit times, flexible scheduling and space protection.

  • Domestic and international ocean freight
  • Worldwide consolidation and LCL
  • Ocean charter and container management

Road freight forwarding

Standardised road products with custom options for lead time, capacity, frequency and cost — including same-day delivery and hazardous cargo.

  • Transport management and planning
  • Rerouting for weather, traffic or extra stops
  • Live monitoring of the most efficient route

Customs clearing

Import and export clearance as part of the full package, so cargo is not stuck because a document is missing between port, warehouse and consignee.

Warehousing

A complete logistics package including warehousing and distribution, with network planning across business units.

  • Storage, bonded facilities, packing and unpacking
  • Hazardous cargo, bulk break, crafting
  • Tracking, stock inventory and status reporting

Expedited, inbound & outbound

Time-definite inbound movement of materials, parts and finished inventory from suppliers to plants, warehouses and stores. Outbound storage and movement of finished goods along the value chain.

  • Procurement and distribution logistics
  • Asset-control logistics and transportation
  • Warehouse management and supply-chain control

Our approach

Multi-modal operations with a continuous flow of information

We embed a multi-modal approach so clients stay informed about every process. Logistics functions are integrated around the business forecast and Lafamiliah’s strategic objectives — turning logistics into a competitive advantage: lowest practical cost without dropping satisfaction.

  • Communicate and deal with clients honestly and with transparency
  • Stay receptive to concerns and needs, and anticipate them
  • Build staff capacity with technology

Strategic partnership

Experts in the same room

We form alliances with clients: licensed logisticians work with your process leads, the procurement team leads contracting, and planning extends to future transport, warehousing and bottlenecked capacity. Shippers and carriers share planning information so you spend less time tendering and more on supplier relationships. Continuous improvement (including TQM) is used to cut cost and inefficiency.

Long-term goals

A lasting professional relationship

Long-term goals concentrate on a cordial but professional relationship with clients, because they sit at the core of operations. Satisfaction is treated as paramount, and the partnership is built to last — not as a one-off booking.
