AFRICA GLOBAL LOGISTICS (AGL)

AGL secures its travels and protects its expatriates in all its operations.

AGL

Africa Global Logistics (AGL), formerly Bolloré Africa Logistics, is a major player in transport and logistics in Africa, present in 49 countries and employing over 21,000 people. At the time of the split with its former parent company, the group no longer had an operational Travel Risk Management tool.
AGL chose to rely on Scutum Security First to rebuild a complete TRM system, capable of integrating travel history, supporting local teams and securing employees in often sensitive environments.

Challenge

When AGL was created, the Group had to re-establish a complete TRM system capable of centralizing the supervision of travel in almost 50 countries, including 47 in Africa, often subject to changing security contexts. The challenge was twofold: to rebuild a unified tool from existing BAL data, and to provide security teams with a reliable alert, monitoring and coordination system to protect travelers and expatriates on a daily basis.

Solutions implemented

Scutum has deployed four complementary, comprehensive and scalable sustainable solutions.

1 - Customized TRM AGL

Scutum Security First deployed a customized TRM system, integrating BAL's history, AGL's specific operational features and the needs of local security teams. The tool provides a unified vision of movements and sensitive areas.

2 - SSF Locator deployment

Implementation of the SSF Locator to track around 3,000 trips per year, as well as 300 expatriate employees. The system enables teams to view positions in real time, identify areas of tension and anticipate incidents.

3 - Secure mobile application

AGL has adopted the SSF Global Solutions mobile application, offering employees personalized alerts, direct access to assistance and rapid communication in the event of an emergency.

4 - Back-up via SOC

In 2025, AGL subscribed to the Security Operations Center, reinforcing its ability to handle critical situations, coordinate with teams in the field and respond 24/7.

SSF alerts have become a daily reflex: they enable me to monitor risk trends in a matter of minutes and protect our teams across the continent. What really makes the difference is Scutum's ability to adapt to our needs and develop the tool accordingly. The proximity and responsiveness of our account manager are also decisive factors in our collaboration.
