Shipsy to expand across Africa

n Shipsy recently announced its plans to expand across the continent of Africa.

Since the last few quarters, Shipsy has rapidly grown its presence in African markets by onboarding customers in the courier, express and parcel, lastmile delivery, eCommerce, and retail segments. Its commitment to transform the continent’s logistics operations was mirrored in its plan to onboard local talent, explore technology partnerships and boost customer service, a press communique indicated.

Online commerce is gaining significant momentum in Africa and is opening up lucrative opportunities for SaaS-based logistics management platform providers.

Shipsy, a leading global SaaS-based smart logistics management platform provider, empowers retailers and logistics service providers to respond to such critical market opportunities by automating core logistics processes. Its advanced AI and automation-powered logistics management solutions optimise routes based on business objectives and real-time constraints.

Shipsy also announced the onboarding of Apoorva Kumar, former Group COO,

Jumia, to their advisory team for the African market. Kumar has over a decade of experience building supply chain operations in Africa and GCC.

“Having used Shipsy’s solutions as a client before, I now look forward to working closely with Soham and the team to take it to newer heights and continue to create impact in the African logistics space,” asserted Kumar.

“With Apoorva joining us as an advisor for Africa, we are confident we will rapidly proliferate the African market,” said Soham Chokshi, CEO and Co-Founder, Shipsy.

The global logistics SaaS provider recently announced it clocked around 100% growth in top line and established another regional headquarters in the Middle East in the Saudi Arabian capital Riyadh.
