The African retail market is growing rapidly, driven by urbanization, the emergence of a connected middle class and an increased demand for varied and accessible products. This requires agile logistics, capable of responding to complex supply chain requirements, limited infrastructure and last-mile challenges. The customs compliance and conformity with regulations require flexible, sustainable and digitalised solutions to support growth in the African continent.
