Kwik, the dynamic digital logistics platform, is proud to announce the inauguration of its groundbreaking initiative, KwikShelf, marking its debut in the on-demand e-commerce fulfillment sector in Lagos.
Situated at the heart of Lagos in the esteemed Iddo House, Oyingbo, KwikShelf boasts a spacious facility spanning 1,250 square meters and is set to commence operations this September. This strategic location offers Nigerian businesses a secure and convenient avenue to procure warehousing space on a need-based basis, facilitating the seamless outsourcing of their inventory storage and fulfillment requirements.
With KwikShelf, Nigerian merchants will gain unprecedented access to centrally position their high-demand inventories, ensuring swift order deliveries to their customers.
Whether you require one square meter or one hundred, for a month or a year, KwikShelf offers unmatched flexibility, all while eliminating the burden of fixed costs, as declared by Romain POIROT-LELLIG, CEO of Kwik.
Mr. POIROT-LELLIG further added, “KwikShelf is a pioneering venture, melding the realms of e-commerce and commercial real estate in Nigeria. We are proud to integrate a key asset from the esteemed Leventis real estate portfolio, further solidifying our commitment to transforming e-commerce logistics in the region.”
In its quest to meet the burgeoning demand for adaptable warehousing and fulfillment solutions, KwikShelf plans to establish up to 20 e-commerce fulfillment centers across major Nigerian cities. These services will seamlessly integrate with Kwik’s renowned last-mile delivery network.
“While the ascension of e-commerce in Nigeria has experienced a gradual rise, it is now increasingly dominating traditional retail, paralleling the surge in living and transportation expenses. Supply chains are actively seeking efficiency, and KwikShelf is ideally positioned to usher in this much-needed transformation,” stated Yinka Olayanju, Co-founder & COO of Kwik.
A.G. Leventis Ltd, a renowned Nigerian conglomerate established by its Greek namesake in 1937, stands as one of Nigeria’s largest and most esteemed conglomerates, operating within the realms of automotive, logistics, real estate, and retail.
Kwik, established in 2018 by Romain POIROT-LELLIG, Iyeyinka OLAYANJU, and Olivier DECROCK in Lagos, embarked on a mission to forge an all-encompassing digital platform for logistic services in Africa.
The company acts as the nexus between delivery partners, warehouse proprietors, merchants, and businesses, offering an array of financial and payment services to its esteemed clientele.
Kwik’s advent into the e-commerce fulfillment domain with KwikShelf is set to redefine the logistics landscape in Lagos, offering businesses an agile, cost-effective, and efficient solution to their warehousing and fulfillment needs.
