Moving Africa’s Last Mile

Your market, in your control

Palli lets manufacturers run promotions directly with last-mile retailers, and pay only when product moves.

THE REALITY

Africa’s last mile runs on millions of independent shops.

Manufacturers across Africa reach customers through the informal supply chain. Millions of independent shops, supplied by distributors, wholesalers, and agents who know the roads, the relationships, and who pays on time. It works. Goods keep moving through infrastructure no single company could build or manage alone.

That same chain sits between manufacturers and their customers. Prices, promotions, and shelf decisions are made by the people in between. The manufacturer sees what left the factory and what came back as cash.

Everything in between is out of reach.
HOW IT WORKS

Reach the shops you can’t see.

Palli gets your offer across your market, turns shop orders into verified records, pays rebates straight to the buyer, and reports what your spend returned.

Discovery

Shops find your offer.

Pushed to the markets and segments you choose, then browsable in Palli and on WhatsApp for as long as the campaign runs.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

A last mile supply chain that is visible, reliable, and profitable.

As discounts and promotions move through Palli, a record forms that this market has never had. What was offered, where it landed, and who took it up, confirmed at the point of delivery.

Every redemption adds a shop to the network. Each one is a retailer a manufacturer can reach directly the next time demand needs to move.

That record changes what each participant can do. Manufacturers direct pricing to the shops and products that need it. Retailers secure the supply and the terms to meet consumer demand. Agents carry an offer worth more than the one they had before.

The advantage in this market has always belonged to whoever could see it. Palli puts that within reach of everyone in the chain.
Francis and Jon, Palli co-founders
WHO WE ARE
On the same roads, serving the same people.

Francis grew up in Ugandan communities and understands local commerce from the inside. Jon spent years mentoring small businesses across Africa. Together they built Palli from observation, not assumption.

This goes beyond two founders. The whole team has committed to the same work: riding alongside delivery agents, sitting with suppliers, listening to retailers. Serving, listening, and learning. Every product decision comes from time spent with the people who use it.
