Connecting traders, artisans, farmers, and MSMEs in the informal sector to structured buyers, wholesalers, logistics providers, and digital marketplaces – with full visibility, traceability, and trust.
Most traders, artisans, and small producers in Africa work hard but remain invisible to large buyers, programs, and formal value chains. TradEdge Market Access & Commerce Tools provide the digital rails that connect these businesses to structured demand – from wholesalers and supermarkets to state-backed programs, NGOs, and corporate off-takers.
Built on verified profiles, transaction footprints, and real-time data, this service helps governments, development partners, and private-sector aggregators to unlock productive capacity in the informal sector while maintaining full transparency and accountability across each trade transaction.
Whether you are running a state agricultural off-take scheme, a humanitarian program, or a national aggregator network for market traders, TradEdge provides the tools to manage demand and supply, ensure fairness, and prevent leakages.
Digital pipelines for structured procurement, aggregation, and empowerment programs, with full visibility down to individual traders and markets.
Access curated clusters of verified traders and producers, ready for supply-chain integration, vendor development, and last-mile distribution.
A single, integrated layer that powers discovery, ordering, aggregation, payments, and logistics for the informal sector – while keeping every stakeholder aligned and informed.
Structured listing of goods and services by trader, market, sector, or region – making it easy for buyers and programs to discover verified suppliers quickly.

Support for both online and offline commerce journeys – including field agents, web access, program dashboards, and API connections to external marketplaces.
