Freight Forwarding
Road, sea and air freight moved under one bill of lading, with customs documentation, tracking and cargo insurance handled by our own team.
Our services
Logistics services built for Eastern African trade
Six connected services covering the whole journey — from a container at Mombasa to a parcel at a customer’s door in Kigali. Run by one operator, on one fleet, under one contract.
What we offer
Six services that work as one supply chain
Each of these stands alone. Most clients end up using two or three, because the handover between providers is where cost and blame usually live.
Cross-Border Logistics
Transit cargo moved between Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda, Zambia and Botswana with the clearing paperwork, bonds and border coordination already in hand.
Warehousing & Distribution
Secured storage, inventory control and scheduled distribution runs that turn a warehouse from a cost centre into a working part of your supply chain.
Last-Mile Delivery
Pickups, vans and insulated motorbikes covering the final leg into towns, estates and trading centres — with proof of delivery captured on every drop.
Cold Chain Logistics
Refrigerated transport from −20°C to +5°C for dairy, meat, fresh produce and medical supplies, with temperature logged for the whole journey.
E-commerce Fulfilment
Storage, order processing, dispatch and returns for online retailers who would rather grow their catalogue than build a distribution network.
How it works
From first message to proof of delivery
The same six steps apply whether you are moving one pallet or running a year of contracted distribution.
Tell us what needs to move
Send the origin, destination, cargo type, weight and timing. A WhatsApp message with those five details is usually enough to start.
We price and plan the route
We confirm the right vehicle class, the corridor, border requirements and the realistic transit time — then quote a rate against it.
Documentation and compliance
Customs entries, transit bonds, certificates of origin and insurance certificates are prepared before the truck loads, not after.
Collection and transit
Our own driver and our own vehicle collect the cargo. GPS tracking runs for the whole journey and your team gets status updates at each milestone.
Delivery and proof
Cargo is delivered, checked and signed for. Proof of delivery, temperature logs and any exception notes are returned to you.
Review and improve
For contract clients we review on-time performance, damages and cost per drop on an agreed cycle, and adjust the plan.

Questions
Before you choose a provider
Can I use more than one Jastan service on the same consignment?
That is the usual case. A typical arrangement is freight forwarding inbound, storage and inventory control in the middle, and scheduled distribution or last-mile delivery outbound — one contract, one contact and one set of reports.
Do you serve small businesses or only contracted clients?
Both. We run contracted distribution for manufacturers and processors, and we also take single-load, one-off and seasonal work for smaller traders and importers.
What information do you need to quote?
Origin, destination, cargo type, approximate weight or volume, and the date it needs to move. For temperature-controlled cargo we also need the required set point. That is enough for a first rate on most routes.
Not sure which service you need?
Describe the problem rather than the service. We will tell you what the movement should look like — and say so if we are not the right fit.
