What Quipux Afrique does

Quipux Afrique SA is a private Ivorian govtech company headquartered in Abidjan, founded in 2013, that operates the national road transport administration platform of Côte d'Ivoire under a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) concession with the Ministry of Transport. The company designs, finances, operates, and maintains an integrated technology ecosystem — the Centre de Gestion Intégrée (CGI) — covering production and delivery of transport documents (driver's licenses, vehicle registration cards, transport cards, CACR certificates), biometric citizen enrollment, and interconnection with the ONECI civil registry. Its three modules extend the platform: CGI Mobilité (CGIM) provides real-time urban mobility supervision and video-verbalization, CGIPARK digitizes administrative impound lot management, and Mobility by Quipux is a mobile application serving 500,000+ active users. Distribution is hybrid: 41 physical agencies, one fully digital agency (CGI Cosmos, opened May 2025), a free call center (1302), a web portal, and the CGI Digital mobile app, all under ISO 9001:2015 certification.

Quipux Afrique makes money primarily through a PPP fixed monthly rent paid by the Ivorian government, independent of collected fines, plus revenue from international deployments. The company finances and operates the infrastructure at its own risk, with citizens paying standard government-mandated fees for documents. As of December 2023, ownership is 51% IBRAMEX Holding (founder Ibrahima Koné) and 49% SNDI (Ivorian state), making it a 100% Ivorian-capital company after the exit of Colombian parent Quipux SAS. Beyond Côte d'Ivoire, Quipux Afrique has deployed its platform in Guinea-Bissau and Congo-Brazzaville, with Gabon and the Democratic Republic of Congo described as expansion destinations. The company has stated its intention to scale across Africa, leveraging its data, regulatory mandate, and standardized platform to replicate the Ivorian model in other transport modernization programs.

Core offering

Quipux Afrique operates an integrated technology platform for road transport administration that centralizes driver records, vehicle registration, and carrier management under a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) with the Ministry of Transport of Côte d'Ivoire. The company delivers services through 41 physical agencies, one fully digital agency (CGI Cosmos), a mobile application with 500,000+ active users, and a web portal, providing digital driving licenses, vehicle registration certificates, transport and operator cards, automated traffic enforcement (video-verbalization), and digitalized administrative impound lot management. The platform is ISO 9001:2015 certified and is being deployed in Guinea-Bissau, Gabon, and Congo-Brazzaville.

Product overview

Quipux Afrique operates as a platform-plus-modules architecture built around the Centre de Gestion Intégrée (CGI) as its core system. The CGI serves as the foundational integrated management platform for all road transport administrative documents (driver's licenses, vehicle registration cards, transport cards, and operator certificates), supported by a national network of 41 physical agencies, one fully digital agency (CGI Cosmos), and a free call center (1302). Three complementary modules extend the platform: CGI Mobilité (CGIM) adds intelligent transport system (ITS) capabilities with automated video-verbalization and real-time urban mobility monitoring via IoT; CGIPARK digitizes administrative impound lot and parking management; and Mobility by Quipux provides a mobile-first citizen portal with over 500,000 active users for document access, appointment booking, and secure payments. The CGI Digital platform serves as the unified digital access layer (web and mobile app), while the Barrage Intelligent and Digital Driver's License represent key sub-products within this ecosystem. The company's business model is structured as a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) with the Ivorian Ministry of Transport.
