What Beyond Logistics Uganda does

Beyond Logistics Uganda (BLL), founded in April 2013 as a Private Limited Liability Company and headquartered in Bweyogerere, Wakiso, Uganda, is a specialized Third Party Logistics (3PL) provider focused on the healthcare supply chain. The company targets clients with sensitive, high-value pharmaceutical and medical products, serving Uganda's Ministry of Health, the National Medical Stores (NMS), international NGOs (USAID, UNICEF, CHAI, PSI, ICAP, Living Goods), and pharmaceutical manufacturers (CIPLA Quality Chemical Industries). Its service portfolio spans procurement, warehousing, inventory management, cold chain distribution, last-mile delivery, project management and technical services for cold chain equipment installation, breakbulk and re-packaging, agency/local representation for international suppliers, and supply chain advisory.

The company's core technology stack is built around a Magaya-powered Warehouse Management System (WMS) with real-time inventory visibility, a GPS-aided Logistics Management Information System (LMIS) for route planning, and 2-8°C cold chain temperature monitoring systems. Its single warehouse facility is located at Plot 1661, Link Road, Kakajjo Zone, Bweyogerere, with nationwide distribution reach demonstrated by deployment to 1,354 health facilities across 54 districts under essential medicines contracts and 996-1,435 vaccine refrigerator installations across 130+ districts under the CCEOP II and CCEOP III programs.

BLL operates a project-based, contract-driven revenue model with bespoke quotation, multi-year contract cadence, and managed-services pricing. The go-to-market motion is enterprise field sales targeting government health agencies and donor-funded NGOs through tender processes and direct engagement. The company is led by Managing Director Paul Njala, a trained pharmacist with over 20 years of health commodity supply chain experience, supported by a small disclosed team of fewer than 10 employees across operations, warehouse management, and finance functions. Revenue is not publicly disclosed, and the company has no external investors, parent company, or M&A activity recorded in available sources.
