Quick answer
The best logistics app in Nigeria depends on what you move. For nationwide parcels, GIG Logistics’ GIGGo app covers all 36 states. For fast bike and van deliveries in Lagos and Abuja, Kwik is built for businesses. For sellers who want shipping and payments together, Sendbox fits. If you want one account for parcels, trucks, drivers, travel tickets, airport pickups and utilities, Travo.ng puts them all in one booking flow. Compare coverage, vehicle types, tracking and payment protection before you choose.
A good logistics app saves you from phoning riders, haggling at parks and chasing waybills. In 2026 Nigerians use apps to send parcels across town, ship goods between states, move house, hire trucks and track orders. This guide compares the main options we could verify and explains what to look for.
What makes a logistics app good
- Coverage: does it serve your city, and does it go interstate or abroad?
- Vehicle choice: bikes for small parcels, vans for bulk, trucks for heavy loads.
- Price before booking: you should see a quote or a clear estimate before paying.
- Tracking and proof of delivery: live status, rider details and confirmation at drop-off.
- Payment safety: card or transfer inside the app, and ideally escrow or pay-on-delivery for sellers.
- Support: a real person you can reach when a delivery goes wrong.
- Business tools: bulk bookings, API or plugins for online stores, and invoices.

One name you may still see in older lists is Gokada. It filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in the US in October 2024, so do not rely on it for deliveries.
Where Travo fits
Most apps do one thing well. Travo is built for people and businesses who need several services and do not want five different accounts. From one booking page you can:
- Send a parcel across town or to another state, including same-day delivery and motorcycle delivery.
- Book a van or truck for haulage or moving house.
- Hire a driver, book an airport pickup, or buy bus and train tickets.
- Order LPG, water and other utilities.
- Protect a purchase with SecurePay escrow when you are buying from someone you have not met.
Businesses that send regularly can use business delivery, and developers can connect through the Travo API.
How to book a delivery on Travo
- Open the parcel booking page and sign in or create an account.
- Enter the pickup and drop-off addresses and the recipient’s phone number.
- Describe the item: size, weight and whether it is fragile or valuable.
- Choose the vehicle and timing, then review the quote.
- Pay, and keep the booking reference. Contact us on WhatsApp if anything changes.
Which app should you choose?
| If you need to… | Look for |
|---|---|
| Send a small parcel across Lagos today | A bike delivery option with live rider details |
| Ship to another state | Nationwide coverage, clear delivery days and tracking |
| Move stock or furniture | Vans and trucks with loaders, priced before you book |
| Run an online store | Store plugins or API, bulk booking and pay-on-delivery |
| Ship abroad | International rates, customs support and a courier network such as DHL, FedEx or UPS |
Questions to ask before you sign a business delivery deal
- What is the cut-off time for same-day delivery, and what happens to orders booked after it?
- How are failed deliveries handled, and do you pay for a second attempt?
- Who is liable for loss or damage, up to what value, and how long do claims take?
- How and when is pay-on-delivery cash remitted to you, and is there a fee?
- Can you get monthly invoices and a dashboard for all your orders?
- Is there a named account manager or a support line for business customers?
Get the answers in writing. A slightly higher rate from a provider with clear liability and fast remittance usually costs less than a cheap one that loses parcels or holds your cash.
Safety tips when using any delivery app
- Pay only inside the app or to the company’s official account, never to a rider’s personal account.
- Photograph the item and packaging before handover.
- Declare the real value and insure high-value items.
- Do not send cash, documents you cannot replace, or prohibited goods.
- Share the recipient’s correct phone number and landmark to avoid failed deliveries.
