How Kweza Is Helping In Digitising Spaza Shops!
How Kweza Is Helping In Digitising Spaza Shops! Running a small business is challenging especially so in the Informal sector where segments of a single value chain are fragmented. Informal retailers often pay a premium for their products and delivery due to limited visibility to the best pricing in the market and low buying power. With technology this gap can be bridged.
With 77% of the South African population buying at least some of their products from the informal economy, Kweza realises the importance of this sector. It is building a digital platform that ensures that Spaza customers have access to the resources they need to grow, starting with how they order and purchase inventory. Kweza strives to be partners in the growth stories of small businesses and help them to formalise, digitise and grow their businesses through technology.
Kweza is a last-mile distribution service for inventory and digital services to informal retailers (Spaza shops). The Kweza platform gives Spaza shops visibility to the best prices on the market, access to higher savings, the cheapest available pricing for their inventory, and provides the convenience of facilitating cost effective delivery to the stores within 24 hours.
Kweza brings the power of collective buying to Spaza shops, ensuring they can source stock conveniently, at the best prices and have it delivered directly to store. Clients can access higher savings and better margins each time they order via its mobile app. They will also gain visibility to the best pricing on the market and insights on their inventory spend and order patterns.
The company’s goal is to improve efficiency within the informal retail space and ensure that through technology it can help Spaza shops digitise. Kweza is built with the customer in mind. It understands that there are several factors affecting the success of small businesses and it is therefore building a platform that brings together digital and physical solutions to ensure the growth and success of its customers.
