Complovix Technologies Ltd. is a six-person team operating from Enugu, Nigeria — at the heart of the South-East trade corridor that runs from Onitsha's markets and Aba's factories to Onne Port. We were founded in 2024 by three founders — two Nigerians and one Kenyan — to fix the most expensive, least-loved part of moving goods across borders: trade compliance.
Tunde, Wanjiru, and Segun met at an Enugu trade-tech meetup in April 2024. Tunde had just watched a client’s pharmaceutical shipment sit at Onne Port for 11 days because a certificate of origin carried the wrong HS code.
The paperwork to fix it took 3 hours but cost ₦4.2 million in demurrage. Segun pulled out a notebook and showed Tunde the exact clause tree he would have used to flag the error in under two minutes.
Wanjiru — visiting from Nairobi, where she had spent years building fraud-detection models for M-Pesa — looked at the notebook and said, "I can automate that." Complovix was incorporated two months later, and she moved to Enugu to build it.
7 years in freight operations at Maersk Line (West Africa desk). BSc Logistics & Supply Chain Management, University of Nigeria, Nsukka. Left in 2023 to build in the compliance space after watching a client lose a shipment to a documentation error that should have taken 5 minutes to catch.
"Every freight forwarder I know has a horror story about a shipment held at port over a typo. We are here to make that the last time that happens."
MSc Computer Science, University of Nairobi. Previously ML engineer at Safaricom, building fraud-detection models for M-Pesa, then document-understanding systems at a Nairobi fintech. Relocated to Enugu in 2024 to co-found Complovix.
"The compliance problem is a structured-data problem disguised as a regulatory problem. Once you extract the structure reliably, everything else becomes tractable."
5 years as a customs compliance officer at Nigeria Customs Service, Onne Port. Certified Customs Specialist (CCS). Left in 2023 to consult, then co-founded Complovix.
"I have seen the inside of how customs decisions are made. The rules are knowable — the problem is tooling. Complovix gives teams the same decision support that was previously locked inside an expert’s head."
BSc Computer Science, Covenant University. NLP researcher for 2 years before joining Complovix in January 2025 to lead the entity-resolution and reasoning agents.
A compliance mistake is more expensive than a slow tool. We surface ambiguous cases for human review rather than confidently generate a wrong answer.
Regulators, customs officers, and legal teams need to follow the reasoning, not just accept the output. Every verdict ships with a cited chain of logic.
Our rules engine covers ECOWAS, AfCFTA, EAC, and NEXIM frameworks that global tools ignore. We know the markets our customers actually operate in.
We chose Enugu for the same reason we chose this product. It puts us at the centre of the trade routes connecting Onitsha's markets and Aba's manufacturing cluster to Onne Port — with a growing tech community and daily access to the importers and forwarders we build for. Our customers are not theoretical — they are a phone call and a short drive away.
