Swyft Logistics has entered a strategic partnership with PROXYM GROUP that aims to reshape last mile delivery and urban mobility in Cameroon. The collaboration combines Swyft’s asset light logistics technology with PROXYM’s electric mobility platform to deliver faster and more sustainable services. It signals a broader shift in Central Africa toward cleaner transport solutions that are embedded directly into day to day logistics operations.
Partnership Overview
Under the agreement, PROXYM GROUP will be integrated into Swyft’s technology stack so it can capture orders generated daily across Swyft’s network. This structure aligns mobility financing, fleet deployment, and delivery demand in a single ecosystem, improving utilization of vehicles and capital. The two companies position the partnership as a way to provide greener, more efficient last mile services while reducing reliance on informal and fuel dependent transport options.
About Swyft Logistics
Swyft Logistics is a Cameroonian logistics technology startup founded in 2019 and led by CEO Franck Batchadji. The company started as a B2C delivery service with a bike fleet and call center, then evolved into a platform serving both consumers and businesses. Today, Swyft operates an in house technology system that connects customers, operations teams, and couriers to manage first to last mile deliveries in real time.
Swyft’s Model and Market Position
The startup runs an asset light model that relies on a distributed fleet rather than owning large physical infrastructure. It offers parcel delivery, e commerce fulfillment, relocation, and storage, as well as hundreds of relay points across neighborhoods in Cameroon. Swyft is widely recognized as a leading last mile delivery provider in the country, offering insured parcels, geo located tracking, and in app communication with drivers to increase transparency and reliability.
About PROXYM GROUP
PROXYM GROUP is focused on transforming urban transportation in Central Africa through electric mobility. The company is rolling out electric motorcycles and a supporting battery swapping network, starting in Douala with plans to scale across the region. By lowering upfront costs and logistical barriers to e mobility adoption, PROXYM is positioning electric two wheelers as a viable replacement for traditional fuel powered bikes.
Strategic and Sustainability Impact
By pairing Swyft’s demand generation and logistics orchestration with PROXYM’s electric fleets and battery infrastructure, the partnership directly links decarbonization to everyday delivery operations. Couriers using PROXYM vehicles can access steady order volumes and financing structures, while Swyft’s customers gain faster and cleaner service options. Over time, this integrated model could reduce emissions, improve air quality in dense urban centers, and create a blueprint for sustainable logistics in other African markets.
The Swyft and PROXYM GROUP partnership marks a significant step in aligning logistics innovation with sustainable mobility in Cameroon and Central Africa. It blends a data driven, asset light delivery platform with an emerging electric vehicle ecosystem that lowers both environmental and operational costs. As the collaboration scales, it has the potential to accelerate the shift toward green last mile delivery and reinforce Cameroon’s role as a testbed for future ready logistics models in Africa.
