加纳物流初创公司Boxconn已经在尼日利亚和博茨瓦纳开展了业务，并计划进一步扩大业务，已经为数千次送货提供了便利。Boxconn成立于2021年1月，是一个物流软件平台，允许企业和个人按需交付。它提供白标签送货服务，允许企业通过自己的渠道推广送货，并获得按需送货的车队。这家初创公司的联合创始人兼业务主管Emmanuel Asamoah表示:“我们意识到，企业需要一个物流软件管理工具，为他们提供的不仅仅是按需交付。”“我们意识到，企业需要一个中央平台来管理他们所有的物流，同时通过自己的渠道获得送货订单。这为他们节省了很多，并帮助他们与客户建立了更牢固的关系。这适用于从中小企业到大企业的各种规模的企业。”人们很快就接受了。Boxconn已经为包括Jumia和肯德基在内的120多家企业完成了3万多件配送，并且已经在国际上活跃起来。Boxconn团队来自加纳、尼日利亚、博茨瓦纳和马里，所以他们要去他们熟悉的地方。 Operations have already started in Nigeria and Botswana off the back of the successful Ghanaian launch, and Boxconn is considering launching in Mali soon. Other countries will follow by 2023. Asamoah said the team has significant ambitions in terms of building out its offering as well. “We envision this for the general logistics industry, from warehouses to vans to trucks. We have even held talks with drone delivery companies and have a lot of interesting projects in the pipeline,” he said. Funded by MEST and a couple of angel investors, the startup monetises through subscriptions and commissions, depending on the type of business onboarded and the particular service it is providing. “We have saved businesses that work with us over US$100,000 in money that would have otherwise been lost through commissions and inaccessibility,” Asamoah said. “Scaling was hard at first but we cracked the code when we started listening closely to users and building what they wanted instead of what we thought was right. Users will show you what to build – it’s really as simple as that.”
