Replenishment Manager at Wasoko February, 2023
Wasoko
(“people of the market” in Swahili) is transforming communities across
Africa by revolutionizing access to essential goods and services. We are
East Africa’s biggest digitized retail distribution platform powered by
our own in-house logistics network. Tens of thousands of informal
retailers across six countries (Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda, Uganda, Ivory
Coast and Senegal) use Wasoko to order everyday essential goods and
receive working capital financing.

The
informal retailers of Africa today are the primary if not the only
channel used by consumers to purchase essential goods worth over $600
billion per year. The fragmented infrastructure across large land mass,
distributed but diverse population and rather a smaller basket size
spend does not yet lend themselves to big basket retail or mass consumer
ecommerce. Instead, the informal retail ecosystem is THE channel for
building the plumbing for digital and consumer commerce across Africa.
This
is Wasoko’s opportunity. Wasoko with its brand, scale and logistics
network is best positioned to build the technology-leveraged rails to
serve the 1+ billion African consumers through informal retailers. We
are building a digital-first operating system for informal retailers,
focusing initially on B2B distribution but quickly incorporating a host
of other tools and services to help communities across Africa get more
for less.
