Kwik, a startup in logistics delivery, has announced that it has begun offering its cutting-edge and just-in-time delivery options to retailers, business owners, organisations, authorities, and street sellers in Ibadan, southwest Nigeria.
Ibadan, sometimes known as “Africa’s largest village,” is a major commercial hub and one of Nigeria’s urban areas with the fastest growth rates.
The difficulty of transporting items throughout the city is one drawback of this rapid development. Kwik aspires to significantly contribute to the solution of this issue by providing clients with fast parcel delivery from businesses.
“Kwik aims to feature over 500 partner vehicles located in Ibadan on its platform in the next 12 months,” Romain Poirot-Lellig, Founder & CEO, Kwik Delivery said.
“The Lagos-Ibadan corridor is fast becoming the most dynamic industrial and commercial hub of West Africa thanks to improving infrastructure, unparalleled market depth and attractive local government policies. Kwik’s role is to ensure that all the moving parts can circulate effectively.”
In addition to its highly regarded delivery service, Kwik is making its KwikStore feature, a cutting-edge, no-cost online storefront platform that aids businesses in automating their online sales and managing their inventory, available in Ibadan. These days, it only takes five minutes to set up an internet store.
“E-commerce activities in Nigeria have continued to grow at a steady pace since 2015. More than 80% of Nigerians prefer to shop online from the comfort of their homes and have these products delivered to their doorsteps,” Yinka Olayanju, Chief Operations Officer, Kwik said.
“With its isothermal bags, Kwik will ensure that all kind of products arrive in mint condition. This rising trend in online activities has led to a steep increase in public spending as well as all-round economic growth, both of which require logistics support of the kind that Kwik Delivery is best-equipped to provide.”
Kwik, which was introduced in 2019, has continued to develop with new innovations, offering digital and logistical solutions for delivery, fulfillment, and payment to African B2B merchants and e-commerce social vendors.
With last-mile delivery operational in Lagos State, Ogun State, Abuja FCT, and now Ibadan city of Oyo State, the Kwik platform is currently accessible to merchants and enterprises operating throughout Nigeria.
