DeliverASAP, a Nigerian logistics startup that provides last-mile fulfillment for importers, has recorded a milestone of fulfilling over 450 orders, worth over ₦40 million, weighing over 1,700kg all within the pilot year.
The company which was launched during the COVID-19 lockdown of 2020 has joined the list of businesses birthed during the pandemic.
Commenting, co-founder and CEO of DeliverASAP, Oyedayo Oyeniran said: “My experience of working in the logistics industry was crucial to our early success. As they say, experience is the best teacher.
“Even though we have three verticals and services planned within the logistics and household services delivery industry over the next three years, we are focusing on the on-demand last-mile fulfillment service for mini-importers in Nigeria”.
The pilot stage gave us the opportunity to test the market, have a feel of what the users need, how they would love to interact, and use the service.
This has led us to develop a web application where mini importers can register, login and request fulfillment services and have their request shipped to their location anywhere in Nigeria within a maximum of three days using our cutting edge Internet of Things (IOT) innovation.
Oyeniran adds: “We have created four different products under the business model such that a mini importer can request that we ship to his/her address, ship to his or her customers’ address, up to 100 customer addresses, and finally, we can store the packages in our warehouses spread across Nigeria so that each mini importer can reduce fulfillment cost and maximize profit”.
