Get to know Bisedge: Leaders in sustainable logistics

Sunray Ventures — an emerging markets green technology-enabled venture builder — set up Bisedge Logistics in 2020 to provide reliable material handling services to large companies in West Africa.

Moving materials on and off trucks was a major headache for companies. All forklift service operators were informal. They lacked professional staff and did not perform regular maintenance.

Bisedge introduced the first of its kind service package in Nigeria: a fully outsourced electric forklift service that included a trained operator and preventive maintenance for only a flat monthly fee.

But the electric forklifts were only the starting point.
