Consultation Services

Craftora provides Chinese automotive manufacturers with expert guidance and on-ground insights for entering and scaling across Africa. Our consultation services combine market intelligence, real operational data, and our existing network across 30+ African countries to help OEMs make the right decisions before committing resources.

We do not provide theory. We provide execution-based advice backed by real operations.

Consultation Built on Execution, Not Theory

Most consulting firms analyze Africa from reports, interviews, and second-hand data. Craftora’s advantage is different. Our recommendations are shaped by what we see daily on the ground: workshop performance, parts availability, technician capability, customer behavior, warranty patterns, and operational bottlenecks. This allows us to provide guidance that reflects how Africa actually works, not how it appears on paper.

When OEMs work with Craftora, they are not paying for advice alone. They are gaining access to operational intelligence that reduces risk and accelerates success.

What Our Consultation Covers

Everything needed to support vehicles across the continent

Market Prioritization and Entry Planning

Africa is not one market. We help OEMs identify which countries and cities make sense for an initial launch based on demand, regulations, infrastructure readiness, pricing sensitivity, and competitive landscape. The goal is to focus resources where success is most likely.

Product and Positioning Strategy

We advise on vehicle mix, trims, specifications, and use cases that align with local conditions. This includes guidance on ICE, hybrid, electric, and commercial vehicles, ensuring the right products are introduced to the right markets.

After-Sales and Warranty Readiness

Strong after-sales support determines long-term brand trust in Africa. We help OEMs design service and warranty strategies that are realistic, scalable, and cost-controlled, aligned with local workshop capabilities and parts availability.

Parts Strategy and Supply Planning

Parts delays are one of the fastest ways to lose customer confidence. We help OEMs plan parts flow, stocking strategy, and regional distribution models that support uptime and reduce operational friction.

Regulatory and Compliance Guidance

We support OEMs in understanding homologation requirements, import rules, compliance standards, and operational considerations across different African markets, helping avoid delays and costly missteps.

EV and NEV Market Readiness

For new energy vehicle brands, we assess infrastructure readiness, charging feasibility, fleet use cases, and market timing to ensure EV launches are aligned with local realities.
