The process

Simple on the surface. Powerful underneath.

Four steps for you. A whole consolidation engine working behind the scenes.

Facility onboarding
Step 1
Onboard

Register your facility

Apply online in five minutes, or let our team onboard you. Once approved, you receive a unique facility account number and secure login by SMS.

  • Free to join, reviewed in 1–2 business days
  • Your account number is your identity across the platform

Step 2
Order

Fill your cart from the catalogue

Search hundreds of local and imported lines with typo-tolerant fuzzy matching. Add to cart, and Afyacon automatically splits it into a local order and an import order where needed.

  • Local stock for weekend delivery
  • Imports for the next scheduled container
M-Pesa payment
Step 3
Pay

Pay your way, verified fast

Pay via M-Pesa Paybill 4126514 using your account number, or upload a bank deposit slip. Our finance team verifies and your order advances to processing.

  • Track balance and payments on your dashboard
  • SMS confirmation at every step
Delivery
Step 4
Receive

Delivered, QR-labelled and checked

Every Friday at noon the week's orders freeze into a dispatch batch. Suppliers pack QR-coded parcels, Afyacon consolidates them, and deliveries reach facilities over the weekend.

  • Scan-to-verify at the consolidation hub
  • Nothing lost — every parcel is traceable
Behind the scenes

The consolidation engine

What makes group prices possible.

Demand pooling

Orders from every facility combine into one large weekly volume that suppliers bid to fill.

Anonymisation

Suppliers see only account codes — never facility names or phone numbers.

Consolidation

QR-coded parcels are gathered at the hub and routed to each facility.

Container imports

Import orders combine into shared containers on a published sailing schedule.
