Your platform tocalculate your freight

CBM (cubic meter) is calculated by multiplying length x width x height of a box in meters, then multiplying by the number of boxes. Example: 0.6m x 0.4m x 0.5m x 10 boxes = 1.2 CBM. The Trans-izi freight simulator does this automatically — enter your dimensions and get the sea freight cost in real time.

Trans-izi lets you top up an Alipay account directly from your CFA wallet, with no bank or international card needed. First top up your wallet in CFA via Mobile Money (Orange, Wave, MTN...), then initiate an Alipay reload at the day's rate. Your supplier's Alipay account is credited in yuan (CNY) within minutes.

Trans-izi provides a directory of verified forwarders in Ivory Coast, Senegal, Mali, Burkina Faso, Cameroon and other African countries. Every forwarder is vetted, has authenticated reviews, and displays real rates and transit times. Filter by country, freight type (sea / air) and budget to find the right partner.

Sea freight is calculated by CBM (volume) and takes 20 to 40 days. It is the cheapest option for bulky goods. Air freight is calculated by billable weight (the greater of actual weight and volumetric weight = L x W x H / 5000) and takes 5 to 10 days, but costs 6 to 10 times more. The Trans-izi simulator compares both modes for your shipment.

The Trans-izi currency converter lets you convert between CFA (XOF), yuan (CNY), US dollars (USD), euros (EUR) and other African currencies in real time. The displayed rate is the live reference rate, updated continuously.

Yes, Trans-izi is completely free for importers: the freight simulator, currency converter, forwarder directory and basic courses are all available without a subscription. Only forwarders have paid plans (Free, Pro at 9,900 CFA/month, Premium at 24,900 CFA/month) to boost their visibility.

From the Trans-izi app, go to "My Wallet" and click "Deposit". Select your operator (Orange Money, Wave, MTN Mobile Money...) and your country. Enter the amount, confirm and follow the instructions to complete the Mobile Money payment. The credit appears in your wallet within minutes.

Incoterms (EXW, FOB, CIF, DDP, etc.) define who — buyer or seller — bears the shipping cost and risk at each stage. For example, FOB (Free On Board) means the supplier delivers to the port of origin, and you cover sea freight and insurance from there. Trans-izi Academy offers detailed Incoterms courses for African importers.

Create a Trans-izi account and choose the "Forwarder" profile at sign-up. Complete your profile in 6 steps (identity, contacts, services, rates, coverage zones) via the dedicated dashboard. Once published, your profile is visible to importers across Africa searching for a forwarder in your area.
