In build — Nigeria

One clear price per lane. Carriers paid the day they deliver — not months later.

Nigerian haulage runs on WhatsApp rate negotiation and payment terms measured in months. Haultini is built to price a lane in seconds, verify the truck and the owner before it loads, and settle the carrier on delivery. Free shipper portal, no card required.

Built on

Built around the records and rails that actually govern Nigerian freight.

Trust in Nigerian haulage is the hard part — whether the truck is really that truck, whether the owner is who they say, and whether anyone gets paid. Haultini is being built to resolve those against national records and instant-payment rails rather than on a phone call.

Nigerian compliance and payment integrations are in development.

Compliance

Verification, cash and turnaround — the three things that decide a Nigerian load.

Nigerian freight is not held back by emission rules. It is held back by not knowing whether a truck is genuine, not knowing when you will be paid, and not knowing how long the port will hold you. Haultini is built around those three.

Market first

Settlement

Paid on delivery, not months in arrears

Haulage in Nigeria is routinely settled months after the job is done, which is why so many operators cannot grow a fleet. Proof of delivery is designed to trigger payment straight to the carrier’s bank over instant-transfer rails — no invoice chase, no waiting on a payment run.

Vehicle & owner

The truck checked against the national register

Every vehicle is checked against its FRSC record — plate, chassis number, make, state of registration and registered owner — so a cloned plate or a borrowed truck does not reach your cargo. The check is designed to run again at allocation, not only at signup.

Rate transparency

One price per lane, instead of six phone calls

Rates are discovered over WhatsApp and negotiated by relationship, so nobody can tell a fair price from a padded one. Haultini prices from lane history, live diesel cost and current truck availability, and returns a single figure with a confidence score.

Lane history + live AGO price + availability

Port turnaround

Demurrage and empty return priced in, not billed later

Container work lives or dies on port turnaround and getting the empty back. Call-up slot timing, expected turnaround and empty-return allowance are built to appear in the quote, so the exposure is visible before you commit rather than as a surprise deduction.

Customs

Import documentation that follows the load

Nigeria Customs completed its move to the B’Odogwu platform in 2026, which changed how Form M, PAAR and Single Goods Declaration documentation flows. Haultini is being built against it so clearance references travel with the job instead of living in someone’s inbox.

Emissions

Scope 3 data your multinational customers ask for

Nigeria has no SECR equivalent, but the FMCG, cement and manufacturing groups you haul for report to parents that do. CO₂e is logged per load and per lane so you can answer an ESG request with a report rather than a reconstruction.

How it works

Posted load to settled payment, without the phone calls.

Five steps. The verification, documentation and payment work that normally takes weeks of chasing runs inside the job.

  1. 1

    Post the load

    Pickup and delivery location, date window, weight or container size, truck type. One form — no calling round for quotes.

    Shipper portal, web app or mobile

  2. 2

    Get one price in seconds

    Lane history, the current AGO price against route distance, and live truck availability on that corridor resolve into a single figure with a confidence score and a market comparison.

    AI pricing engine · live diesel index

  3. 3

    Matched to a verified truck

    Trucks are filtered by type, corridor coverage and availability, checked against the FRSC register for plate and owner, then scored on delivery history and acceptance rate.

    ML matching · FRSC re-verification

  4. 4

    Tracked, with the paperwork attached

    The driver gets the route and instructions in-app while GPS tracking runs. Customs references on import loads and electronic waybills stay attached to the job rather than to a person.

  5. 5

    POD releases payment the same day

    Proof of delivery closes the job, notifies the shipper, raises the invoice and pushes settlement to the carrier’s bank — instead of starting a wait measured in months.

    Instant transfer · same-day settlement

Pricing

Shippers never pay. Carriers pay when they get paid.

The marketplace only works if load supply is free to create. Revenue comes from settlement and from enterprise contracts, not from gating the people posting the freight.

FAQ

The questions operations directors actually ask.

Is Haultini live in Nigeria yet?

No. The Nigerian market is in build. The platform itself is the same one running in UK private beta, but the compliance and payment layer is being rebuilt around Nigerian records and rails, and those integrations are in development rather than live. Early access puts you in the first onboarding group and gives you input on what gets built first. We would rather say that plainly than imply we are further along than we are.

When do carriers actually get paid?

The design target is settlement to the carrier’s bank on the same day proof of delivery is submitted, over Nigerian instant-transfer rails. That is the single biggest change we are trying to make here — haulage in Nigeria is commonly settled months after delivery, which forces operators to fund diesel out of pocket and makes fleet growth almost impossible.

How do you know a truck is really that truck?

Nigeria has a national vehicle register held by the FRSC, linking the plate number to the chassis number, make and model, state of registration and the current registered owner. Haultini is built to check a vehicle against that record and to re-check it when a load is allocated, so a cloned plate or a substituted truck does not reach your cargo.

How is the price calculated?

From lane history, the current diesel price applied to route distance, and how many suitable trucks are actually available on that corridor in your time window. You get one figure with a confidence score and a comparison against the market, rather than a spread of phone quotes to reconcile. Diesel is priced live because it moves too much to bury in a fixed rate.

What about port work — Apapa and Tin Can?

Container evacuation is priced differently from general haulage because turnaround dominates the cost. Call-up slot timing, expected turnaround and the empty-container return allowance are built to appear in the quote so the exposure is visible before you accept. We coordinate around the port access process rather than replacing it.

What does it cost, and how do you make money?

The shipper portal is free, with no card required. Carriers pay a subscription in Naira plus a 0.75% platform fee on load value, taken at settlement and visible on every transaction. Broker and enterprise accounts are contracted with custom pricing. Subscription figures are being finalised ahead of launch.

Do you handle import customs documentation?

It is on the build. Nigeria Customs completed its transition to the B’Odogwu platform in 2026, which changed how Form M, PAAR and Single Goods Declaration documentation flows, and we are building against it so clearance references travel with the load rather than sitting in an agent’s inbox. This is not live yet.

Is this the same product as the UK version?

Same platform, same pricing and matching engine, different compliance layer. The UK build is wired into DVLA, DVSA and HMRC; the Nigerian build is being wired into FRSC, Nigeria Customs and local payment rails. If you move freight in both markets, one account will cover both.
