Messenger

Abuja, Nigeria

Messenger (getmessenger.ng) is an all in one logistics platform that aggregates end to end logistics and supply chain operations to help businesses, logistics asset owners to achieve an efficient supply chain framework. The platform allows businesses and individuals to connect with logistics assets on demand and in real time to guarantee the fastest delivery timeline at competitive rates.

Why is this an opportunity not to be missed?

As a result of poor infrastructure in Africa there is a highly fragmented supply chain network leading to expensive logistics for manufacturers, retailers, ecommerce businesses and individuals. The cost of owning and managing the assets is another contributing factor for the high cost of logistics. Also, there is usually a mismatch between organizations seeking logistics services and numerous logistics asset owners seeking patronage and recurring revenue for their assets. This leads to inefficiencies such as long wait times between securing logistics and goods reaching the final consumer.
