Aeroparcel

What Aeroparcel does

Aeroparcel Inc is a Kabul-headquartered, privately held express logistics company founded in 2016 that operates as Afghanistan's self-described largest integrated logistics provider, with 101-250 employees and nine owned or affiliated branches across major Afghan cities (Kabul, Herat, Mazar-e-Sharif, Kandahar, Jalalabad, Gardez, Kunduz, Khost, Jawzjan). The company's product portfolio spans domestic and international courier, air and ocean freight forwarding, third-party logistics (3PL) supply chain management, warehousing with a real-time Warehouse Management System (WMS), last-mile distribution for e-commerce, surface logistics (LTL, FTL, specialized loads), and value-added services including customs brokerage, dangerous goods handling (DGR) with IATA-accredited training, and household shifting. Its technology stack combines a real-time Track n Trace system, a volumetric weight calculator, a rate calculator, customer-facing iOS and Android mobile applications, and an integration with the what3words three-word addressing system, the first such deployment by an Afghan logistics company.

Aeroparcel generates revenue through a mix of transaction fees (per-shipment courier, freight, and surface logistics), managed services (3PL contracts and warehousing), professional services (customs brokerage, DGR handling, custom packaging), and franchise revenue streams. Pricing is quote-based with pay-as-you-go billing; domestic express rates are denominated in Afghani (AFN) with weight-based brackets (0.5kg increments up to 70kg), while international freight is priced in USD across weight brackets (11-44kg, 45-100kg, 101-250kg, 251+kg) with fuel surcharges, air way bill charges, and handling fees layered on. The go-to-market combines a direct sales motion through customer service for enterprise accounts, a self-service digital channel (website and mobile apps), and a three-tier franchise distribution model: AeroREGION for province coverage (250 sqm, motorbikes, vans, full staff), AeroBRANCH for service centers (100 sqm, single motorbike and van), and AeroPOINT for standalone drop-off points (9 sqm, sales-commission model), with Exchangerzone providing franchisee financing.

Aeroparcel's customer base is horizontally segmented across Individual/Consumer shippers, Enterprise Businesses (automotive, construction, electronics, fashion, F&B, medical, home goods, retail), E-commerce Businesses requiring last-mile distribution, and International Traders. International reach is delivered through its core channel partnership with Aramex and membership in the Global Distribution Alliance (GDA), which provides access to 12,000 offices, 33,000 vehicles, and 66,000 employees across 240+ countries. Domestic air freight capacity is supported by cargo partnerships with Kam Air and Flydubai. The company is ISO 9001:2015 certified, and ownership is reported as independent with no disclosed institutional investors, parent company, or subsidiaries.
