May 20, 2020 - In a bid to ease consumers' access to different market products during coronavirus movement restrictions, JamboPay has launched a new digital platform.
Called JamboPay.Market, the mobile-based multi-vendor e-commerce platform is designed to link genuine Kenyan SMEs, manufacturers, and farmers to consumers while providing home deliveries of ordered goods.
According to JamboPay Chief Executive Officer Danson Muchemi, the platform will ensure that there are no fake sellers/vendors on the platform, and quality products will be delivered to customers' addresses within 24 hours.
“One can order for products from genuine sellers and get them at the comfort of their doorsteps in a move aimed at curbing the spread of the Covid-19 virus,” Muchemi said during the launch of the e-platform.
The platform will initially focus on fresh foods, pharmaceuticals, LPGs, liquor, and household items before expanding to other commodities. The pilot phase of the project will begin in Nairobi before moving to other counties.
Head of Customer Experience at JamboPay.Market Venn Rasugu said the platform is aimed at helping traders, farmers, and enterprises to embrace digital economy.
“We want your business to survive the Covid-19 pandemic by giving you access to credible customers,” Rasugu said.
