Logistics and delivery subsidiary of GIG Group owned by Chidi Ajaere, GIG Logistics, has launched its logistics and delivery app, GIGGO, designed to ensure faster and more reliable delivery services.

GIGL has effectively leveraged technology to succeed in a volatile and disjointed environment for increased shareholder value and customer satisfaction thereby positioning as Nigeria’s leading indigenous logistics company with the strongest delivery network. GIG Logistics constantly looks for ways to use technology to make processes simpler and user friendly thereby launching the GIGGO App.

The GIG GO App, which runs on the in house built enterprise resource planning (ERP) “Agility”, is specially designed for fast and reliable deliveries. With GIGGO, customers can request for shipment pick-up from the comfort of their homes or offices for onward delivery within and across cities at the best rates. This will enable GIGL meet its 2-hour delivery window for intra-city deliveries as well as scale faster without committing too much resource, increase its market share, simplify operations and makes entry into new markets easier.

The app, which was unveiled on Tuesday, November 5th, 2019 is part of GIGL’s efforts to become the leading logistics company in Africa.

GIGGO app provides users seamless shipment creation from the comfort of their homes and offices, eliminating the need to endlessly wait at pickup locations for their items to be dispatched. Once a request is made, the app locates a delivery partner nearest to the request and allocates the delivery request for pickup.

According to the chief operations officer of GIG Logistics, Ayodele Adenaike, the company saw an opportunity in the space and decided to make a strategic move to allow a delivery process that is less cumbersome for users of its platform.

“One of the ways the ways courier companies can seize the opportunity in the difficult Nigerian terrain is to consider customised IT solutions that are tailored to the company’s direction…GIG has effectively used technology to succeed in a volatile environment like Nigeria and hence positioning itself as a leading logistics company with the strongest delivery network. With the GIGGo customer app, customers can order for deliveries from their comfort areas for onward delivery at affordable rate.”
