YOBANTE EXPRESS

Yobante Express (YES) is leveraging informal domestic shipment that has existed across Africa for centuries.  Informal shipments are often made from region to region, via informal public transport including on the roofs of buses, taxis and via people going in the same direction. 

These shipments, since they are ancillary to the main purpose of the vehicles, are often substantially cheaper than dedicated shipments and do not require "full trucks'' for efficiency.  The unfortunate downside of informal shipment is the prospect of lost merchandise, non-existent customer service, and inability to track the shipment from sending through to destination.

Yobante Express (YES) is the first logistics startup in Africa to leverage this ancient form of shipment with a technology platform that enables complete trackability, provides full customer service and reduces the prospect of loss or damage of the merchandise.  Its business model is built on a resilient mesh network of existing relay points and independent and casual carriers, resulting in efficient way cheaper and faster deliveries in cities, between cities and between countries.

In over 3 years, we have build a resilient mesh network of over 3,000 Hubs and over 2,500 independent and casual carriers and delivered over 3M parcels for over 500 businesses and individuals.

We have a footprint covering over 21 countries, 9 countries with office presence, & 5 European countries: France, Belgium, Italy, Spain and the UK.
