Success stories
Annually, the World Bank releases a ranking known as the Logistics Performance Index (LPI), which evaluates the efficiency of countries in managing international trade logistics. The LPI highlights the strengths and areas for improvement in countries' trade facilitation efforts.
According to the 2023 LPI, Benin now ranks as West Africa's top port, surpassing all ports in the region, and holds the third-highest rating in the whole of Africa, following only Egypt and South Africa.

In 2017, Webb Fontaine embarked on a groundbreaking collaboration with Benin's Ministry of Finance and Benin Control, igniting a revolutionary trade reform program aimed at modernising and streamlining the nation's trade landscape.
Benin acts as a crucial transit route for West Africa, connecting over 100 million people in the landlocked countries of Niger, Mali, Burkina Faso, Chad, and the northern regions of Nigeria.
To enhance this important trade route, the Benin government are committed to becoming one of the regions most technologically advanced trade environments and their long-standing partnership with Webb Fontaine is a true testament to that.
Benin strategically adopted a suite of innovative solutions including Webb Single Window, Webb Transit Tracking, Webb Valuation, Webb Ports and Customs Webb. And while each solution plays a pivotal role in transforming trade in Benin, the impact from Webb Single Window stands out with remarkable results.
Through the introduction of Webb Single Window, we created GUCE Benin, a digital platform with over 6,500 users, connecting all stakeholders in the logistics chain. The platform facilitates import, export, transit operations and incorporates electronic payment via Paylican, our official payments partner.
Going beyond conventional Port Community Systems, Webb Single Window automates the processing of essential administrative operations. This includes issuing licenses and authorisations, overseeing currency exchange operations, managing exemptions, and communicating with tax services. By improving efficiency, Benin can ensure optimal fiscal recovery, safeguarding revenues for both the private and public sectors.
