About the Client

Digitising Africa’s Freight Ecosystem — One Fleet at a Time

Chargel is a technology-driven freight platform operating in the rapidly growing logistics space in Africa. The company connects fleet owners, logistics managers, and cargo businesses through its digital platform, targeting high-volume commercial clients who manage fleets of 10+ vehicles. Its clients include global shipping giants Maersk and Grimaldi.

Chargel raised a $2.5M seed round led by Logos Ventures — with participation from Ventures Platform, Foundation Botnar, DFS Labs, and Seedstars — to scale its logistics platform across Francophone Africa.

Prior to engaging BigClicks Boon, lead acquisition was primarily inbound and referral-based, resulting in an inconsistent pipeline that could not keep pace with the company’s growth ambitions.

The Challenge

Five Bottlenecks Blocking Chargel’s Growth Engine

Chargel’s sales pipeline couldn’t scale on inbound alone. Without a structured outbound process, the team was stuck in a cycle of manual effort and inconsistent data.

🚫
No structured outbound prospecting process or lead database in place — every lead was sourced reactively and inconsistently.
⏱️
Sales team spending 18+ hours per week on manual prospecting — time taken away from actual selling, pitching, and deal closing.
🎯
Difficulty reaching key decision-makers in logistics and fleet management companies — Fleet Managers, Logistics Heads, and Operations Directors were hard to identify and contact.
⚠️
Low data quality from ad-hoc sourcing — high email bounce rates, invalid contact information, and stale records were wasting outreach effort and damaging sender reputation.
📈
Need for a consistent volume of 3,000+ qualified leads per month to hit revenue targets — a bar that inbound and referral channels could never reach alone.

Our Approach

A Three-Pillar Strategy Built Around Chargel’s ICP

BigClicks Boon developed a three-pillar lead generation strategy tailored specifically to Chargel’s Ideal Customer Profile: fleet operators, third-party logistics providers, freight aggregators, and cargo businesses.

A

Custom Database Creation

Deep-dive discovery session with the Chargel team defined precise targeting criteria — company size, fleet count, geography, and decision-maker seniority. A custom prospect database was built from scratch by pulling and verifying records across LinkedIn, industry directories, logistics trade associations, and public company registries.

B

Comprehensive Data Coverage

Coverage across Fleet Managers, Logistics Heads, Operations Directors, and Procurement Officers. Each record was enriched with verified email addresses, direct phone numbers, company size, and current fleet information — giving Chargel’s sales team the full context needed to personalise every outreach.

C

Data Quality & Continuous Refresh

A 30-day data refresh cycle maintained accuracy throughout the engagement. Each batch was validated through two-step verification — automated email validation followed by manual cross-referencing against source data. Invalid, duplicate, and stale records were systematically removed before every delivery.
