Gozem acquires delivery food app, Delivroum

Transport app, Gozem, announced that it has acquired Togo’s delivery food app, Delivroum. The terms of the acquisition were not made public.

Founded in 2018, Delivroum was the first dedicated food delivery app in the Lome, Togo.

Coincidentally, Gozem was also founded in 2018. The company offers diverse transportation services on its platform, including motorcycle-taxis, car-taxis, and tricycle-taxis across francophone West Africa including Togo, Benin, Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Ivory Coast, Gabon, Mali and Senegal.

Its intention to offer complementary services like food & parcel delivery, financial services in the future, is one of the reasons it acquired Delivroum.

According to Gozem’s Country Manager, Jean-Martial Moulaud, “We’ve worked hard to build our delivery platform in the last months and we’re excited to integrate Delivroum into our operations in Togo. This transaction enables us to fast track our food delivery business in the country and we’re thrilled to integrate like-minded young entrepreneurs in our growth journey across Africa.” 

“For Delivroum, it’s a natural step to join Gozem as we’ve been in discussions for some time on how to best work together. We highly value the strong growth capability and local, multi-geography knowledge that Gozem and the management team has demonstrated. We’re proud and excited to join the family,” said​ Jean-Claude Kunakey, ​Delivroum Co-Founder

In May this year, Gozem Benin integrated Etisalat Moov Money into its App thereby availing Gozem customers the ability to use Moov Money to safely top up their Gozem wallets and take trips without cash.
