You need to buy
Post the requirement with the specification, quantity, destination and the date you need it. Our desk qualifies it and goes looking. You are not asked to find the supplier yourself.
For buyersSouth Africa ↔ Mozambique
The corridor's market.
Tell us what you need to buy. We find the supplier, check that they can actually deliver, put one landed price in front of you and settle the payment through Afrexpay.
AfrexMarket is a business-to-business sourcing and procurement market for trade between South Africa and Mozambique. It is not a catalogue you browse and hope. You state a requirement, our trade desk sources against it, and the commercial transaction is built for you - specification, supplier, price, freight, border, documents and payment held together as one record.
Three ways in
You can supply
Register what you actually hold or produce, in what volume, from where and in what lead time. We bring you requirements that already have a buyer, a quantity and a destination attached.
For suppliersYou need it settled
Once you accept a quotation, the order carries a payment reference into the Afrexpay environment. Rand or metical, with the rate that was actually applied kept on the record.
Payment and settlementNot a catalogue. A trade desk with a market behind it.
A conventional marketplace has a cold-start problem. Buyers do not come because there are too few suppliers, and suppliers do not join because there are too few buyers. AfrexMarket starts from the other end: real buyer demand.
If a suitable registered supplier already exists, we go to them. If not, our procurement team sources one, verifies them to the level the transaction needs, completes the order and brings that supplier into the market for the next time. Every transaction makes the next one easier to match.
Technology carries the repeatable part. People carry the sourcing, the judgement and the exceptions.
From requirement to delivery
Requirement
You state the goods, specification, quantity, destination and required date. It is recorded as an RFQ and given a reference.
Sourcing
We qualify the request and identify suppliers who can meet it on capacity, compliance and delivery.
Quotation
You receive one buyer-facing quotation. Where it is a landed price, it carries the goods, freight, border costs, duties and charges.
Order
Acceptance creates an order with its own reference, linked to the quotation version you agreed.
Payment
The order raises a payment instruction into Afrexpay. Amount, currency, rate and status are recorded against the order.
Delivery
Collection, transport, border processing, clearing and delivery, with proof of delivery attached to the order.

The money is part of the order, not an afterthought.
Most marketplaces hand you a supplier and disappear before the payment. AfrexMarket keeps the commercial record and the financial record joined, so the order knows what was paid, in what currency, at what rate and whether it settled.
AfrexMarket owns the commercial side: requirement, supplier, quotation, order, documents and fulfilment. Afrexpay provides the payment environment the money moves through. The two are deliberately separate systems with one shared reference.
Start with what you need to buy.
Post the requirement. Our trade desk works it and comes back to you with a supplier and a price, in English or Portuguese.
