One of Nigeria’s leading courier services SHiiP has launched a new warehouse and inventory management software to enhance storage and efficient delivery of goods for businesses.
SHiiP disclosed that the latest software will enable businesses to set up branches in new locations, eliminating issues of compliance and operational costs. Using the software, businesses can store products, monitor stocks, and manage their inventory.
Speaking on the launch of the product, Head of Growth at SHiiP Akoni OluwaSemiloore said, “It is important for business owners in Africa to have access to the best storage facilities as e-commerce continues to grow in our continent. Storage infrastructure is still not where we would like it to be and it has been a pain point businesses and even farmers have had to contend with in the past.
“Since issues like this still happen, businesses continue to suffer avoidable losses that stifle growth. With SHiiP, business owners can rest assured that their goods will always be carefully handled and stored in climate-controlled storage facilities so that it reaches the end-users in the best state possible”.
Also commenting on the product launch is SHiiP CEO Ola Quadry who said, “Our main aim is to provide small and medium scale businesses, be it fintech companies, retailers, logistics or small business owners, the right support they need to succeed.
“Since the past three years, we have aggregated delivery and logistics services for thousands of businesses. We understand the challenges and peculiarities that come with managing deliveries to Nigerian, African, and broadly, International customers, therefore, the expansion of our services to include warehousing and inventory management is a natural progression.”
Investors King understands that SHiiP’s launch of the warehouse and inventory management software is coming off the back of the startup’s expansion into warehousing and order management & fulfillment business.
The startup understands that warehouses are a crucial element of any business, which gives its customers an advantage over other businesses, as it was created and structured to add value to their businesses, creating a competitive advantage for them.
