ODeX Partners with Hapag-Lloyd to Digitize Ocean Shipping in Cameroon and Congo

ODeX and Hapag-Lloyd launch digital shipping in Cameroon & Congo, streamlining invoices, payments, and receipts to boost trade efficiency in Central Africa.

DUBAI, UNITED ARAB EMIRATES, September 8, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- ODeX, a leading digital platform for ocean shipping, has officially launched its innovative services in Cameroon and Congo through a strategic partnership with global shipping giant Hapag-Lloyd. This expansion marks a significant milestone in ODeX’s mission to transform Africa’s shipping ecosystem with cutting-edge digital solutions.

Modernizing Trade Across Central Africa
-----------------------------------------------------
The newly introduced services provide a seamless, paperless experience tailored to the region’s importers, exporters, and freight forwarders. Users now benefit from three critical digital modules:
⦿ Invoice Release
⦿ Payment Update
⦿ Instant Receipts (For Cameroon customers only)

These features eliminate cumbersome manual processes, enhance real-time visibility into transactions, and reduce delays that previously hampered trade operations.

Faster Turnaround, Enhanced Visibility
---------------------------------------------------
Hapag-Lloyd customers in Cameroon and Congo will immediately experience improved efficiency. Instead of navigating manual invoices or waiting on offline payment confirmations, stakeholders can now receive invoices instantly, access real-time payment updates, and download receipts immediately upon transaction completion. This significantly streamlines communications, minimizes the need for physical branch visits, and reduces administrative overhead.

"Cameroon and Congo are essential gateways for trade in Central Africa," said Liji Nowal, CEO of ODeX. "We’re excited to support local logistics providers by digitizing critical documentation processes. Our partnership with Hapag-Lloyd helps us deliver tangible value, saving our customers valuable time and improving transparency."

“Hapag-Lloyd is proud to partner with ODeX in their expansion efforts in Cameroon and Congo. ODeX has proven to be a valuable partner in easing document management and payments for our shippers, and we know their commitment to these African markets will help foster market access,” stated Caroline Aubert-Adewuyi, Area Managing Director – Central Africa.
