Case Study: Lori (Nairobi logistics platform) achieves fast, scalable, cost‑effective data pipelines for analytics with Stitch

Trucking through Africa with Stitch

Lori, a Nairobi-based logistics marketplace that connects cargo owners with transportation providers across Africa, needed a reliable way to pipe data from customer relationship, order management, and accounting systems into its BI environment. Manual exports and in-house pipelines were slow, costly and unscalable—building a single integration took about two weeks of an engineer’s time and roughly $3,300 per month, and would require full-time maintenance.

Lori adopted Stitch’s cloud-based data pipeline, set up replication jobs during a free trial, and had key application data flowing to its warehouse within days. Stitch’s broad SaaS and database connectors plus support for custom Singer-based integrations (including a CRM connector Lori built) delivered fast, scalable data engineering with lower cost and ongoing vendor support.
