DeliveryBros has launched its e-courier app. The app connects users with the nearest available dispatch rider, who can deliver any items around Lagos and Abuja.
In addition to this, it allows for auto request, auto routing, payment and tracking, and also has a secure wallet system where regular customers or merchants can pre-pay certain amounts to get discounted deliveries and referral bonuses.
Co-founder Abiodun Animashaun said: “The market is huge. We have lots of e-commerce marketplaces with thousands of sellers, and millions of SMEs selling on social media. They all have one problem: efficient last mile delivery. We saw this gap and decided to solve it with technology.”
The self-funded startup, which obtained a small amount of funding from She Leads Africa, has seen strong uptake, with referrals being key to its growth.
“We have a subscription plan on the mobile app where merchants and individuals can subscribe monthly by funding their wallet. We then split the revenue with our individual carriers,” Animashaun said.
