Zandaux Grand Launch in South Africa Propels "One Africa, One Market" Vision
On February
14th, 2024, South Africa witnessed the grand launch of Zandaux, a revolutionary
multi-vendor platform poised to reshape African business connectivity and the
B2B e-commerce sector. This launch follows successful debuts in Kenya and
Nigeria in January, solidifying Zandaux's commitment to fostering business
connectivity across the African continent. Zandaux's arrival in South Africa
marks a significant milestone in its mission to create "One Africa, One
Market."
The
revolutionary multi-vendor platform, with its mission to create a "One
Africa-One Market," has garnered widespread acclaim for its intuitive
interface, robust features, and dedication to cultivating a vibrant business
ecosystem. Designed to accommodate businesses of all sizes, Zandaux aims to
bridge the gap between small and large enterprises, enabling them to reach
markets that might have been inaccessible without a dedicated B2B E-commerce
platform.
Franck
Obambi Ngatse, the CEO of Zandaux, emphasised the significance of the platform,
stating, “Our African market is made up of 70% small businesses. These
businesses often struggle with budget constraints to reach their target
audience. With Zandaux, businesses can now access markets they might not have
reached otherwise, fostering a connected e-commerce environment focused on
business collaboration.”
Zandaux
stands as a beacon of innovation, poised to redefine African business
connectivity. With a steadfast commitment to fostering seamless B2B
transactions, promoting collaboration, and driving innovation, Zandaux emerges
as a transformative force in the dynamic trade landscape of the region.
During the
launch event, Mr. Daniel Maloba, Founder of Umoja Edtech and Maloba Consulting,
delivered a keynote address, noting, “It is in this spirit of innovation and
market creation that Zandaux operates. They recognize that combating poverty in
Africa requires more than just addressing immediate needs; it demands a
fundamental reshaping of the economic landscape. Through their platform, they
are empowering businesses of all sizes to connect, collaborate, and thrive,
thereby laying the foundation for sustained economic growth and prosperity
across the continent.”
Since the
establishment in 2020, Zandaux has made significant strides, listing more than
15,000 products on the platform and attracting close to 1000 merchants across
the four countries where it operates. Dennis Reumer, the Chief Technology
Officer of Zandaux, highlighted the platform's capabilities, stating, “Zandaux
allows the now over 1000 joined manufacturers and suppliers across Africa to
sell to their clients inside and outside of the country borders, as well as
giving sellers and buyers access to communicate with one another.”
Looking ahead, Zandaux sets its sights on Egypt for its next launch in Africa on February 29th, 2024. With its innovative approach and commitment to fostering business connectivity, Zandaux continues to pave the way for economic growth and prosperity across the continent. As it expands its footprint, Zandaux remains dedicated to its mission of creating a unified marketplace that transcends borders and empowers businesses to thrive in the digital age.
