GIG Logistics Introduces App to Enhance Operations

- Sunday Ehigiator

God is Good (GIG) Logistics Services has introduced the ‘GIGGO’ mobile applicatio­n, a digital logistic platform.

The solution was launched on Tuesday.

Speaking in an interview with THISDAY, the Chief Operating Officer, GIG logistics Mr. Ayodele Adenaike, said the digital solution was introduced to retain the company’s growth rate and equally generate employment to several unemployed Nigerians.

According to him, “We have been in existence for the past seven years, and just within five years ago, we have grown from being that company nobody knew to being one of the biggest logistic brands in Nigeria.

“And in other to maintain our growth rate, we needed to deploy technology; hence we developed the ‘GIGGO App’ ourselves from the scratch to finish, so to serve Nigerians better.

“And the idea is, instead of putting money together to buy 200 vehicles, we can partner with 200 car owners who would run the logistic business for us, while they as well earn extra income. So, empowermen­t is another key thing this app has afforded us.

“This also means that we can scale faster, even by committing less resources, responded quickly and take more shares of the ever grown logistics market. So that it what this app would be doing for us.”

On how the app works, Adenaike said, “The app works like the Uber applicatio­n. So instead of going to the service center to go and drop off your shipments, you can just download the app on your mobile phone, register on it and make a request.

“The app would locate the nearest partner to wherever you are making that request, and connect the partner with the shipper”.
