Our inspiration
Africa is at an inflection point in global trade, internet adoption and economic growth rates; however, Africa’s businesses are poorly served by existing regional e-commerce platforms.
We believe that Africa holds significant e-commerce potential. This stems from the continent’s impressive technological advancement that supports the opportunity to supply the increasing demand for good quality and competitively priced products.
After nearly two years of research and preparation, goAfrica began trading this year on our B2B marketplace platform www.goafrica.com
Supporting African businesses
goAfrica’s platform has been designed to deliver a compelling value proposition. It offers broad functionality, ease of mobile use, secure payments, efficient logistics and other value-added services, all supported by our local customer service team.
Users benefit from a seamless request for quotations (RFQ) functionality which helps them source for any product even if it is not on our catalogue.
Our platform can help reduce sourcing costs and thus increase potential margins for buyers.
We are dedicated to broadening, diversifying and reducing the cost of global trade for African businesses.
