For the past few months, we’ve been building a business that we’re proud of.
Something for merchants — think of a platform that makes international shipping easy for African merchants.
Within this period, we have
- Gone from having an Instagram page with 0 followers to over 9,000 now.
- Built a web platform to help merchants easily process international shipments.
- Served over 1000 African merchants on our platform.
- Delivered over 7000 shipments to over 100 countries across the world.
- And importantly, we continue to deliver on our promise to be the fastest, easiest and most efficient means to ship parcels, cargo and freight to, from and within the Continent.
Here’s what we’ve learned:
- The challenges faced by merchants in Nigeria are easily transferable to most African countries.
- With the African Continental Free Trade Agreement (AfCTA) we expect a lot of intra-African movement of goods.
In line with our mission to connect African merchants to global trade, we realised that it is important to communicate our outlook for the continent in all our messaging.
