Gozem, the super app already operational in several West African cities has announced the launch of the ‘Super App’ taxi booking service in Libreville, Gabon. From now on, all Gabonese citizens can download the Gozem app, available for free for Android and iOS, and take trips in the nation’s capital.
Gozem’s goal is to simplify and improve the quality of life for various stakeholders via its unique digital ecosystem. For example, its taxi cab booking service in Libreville makes it easy for users to move around the city on the one hand, and for drivers to earn a living on the other.
Cecilia Kouna, Deputy Country Manager of Gozem Gabon comments on the launch of the service in Libreville.
“We’re very excited to start our operations in Gabon with a simplified, safer, and more convenient taxi booking solution. We’re confident that this innovation will create real value for passengers and drivers in the Gabonese market. And very soon afterward, we’ll continue to add value by expanding the range of services Gozem offers in Gabon to include delivery services and more.”
Gozem’s Super App in Libreville
The launch of the taxi booking service will enable Libreville residents to take trips in the capital of the nation by simply downloading the free app which is available on Android and iOS devices.
Customers simply open the app, enter their location, select their destination, launch their order, and the nearest available Gozem driver comes to pick them up. At the end of the ride, the app calculates the price based on the distance traveled, thanks to GPS technology, eliminating any need to negotiate. The user can then pay in cash, with Airtel Money or Moov Money, or by credit card. This represents a revolution in the transport sector in Libreville.
The launch of the app will not only enable Libreville residents to travel with ease but also provide an opportunity for drivers to secure an income. Functioning similarly to Uber, the Gozem Super App is easy to use and a customer must simply open the app, enter their location, select their desired destination, and request a ride with the nearest Gozem driver being alerted to pick them up.
Raphael Dana, co-founder of Gozem explains that this is the first of many steps for the tech startup in its African expansion.
“We’re proud to offer this high quality, everyday service that responds to the needs of the Gabonese population while continuing to expand Gozem in the region. Our ambition is to consolidate our status as the premier super app in Africa, and this expansion to Central Africa, our first foray outside of West Africa, also allows us to prepare our upcoming expansion to Cameroon.”
Gozem Super App
Gozem launched its Super App in 2020 that offers a suite of services to Sub-saharan Africans. The African tech startup’s suite of services provides access to transport, eCommerce payments, delivery, and financial services for its users. The app is available on Android and iOS.
