JABU powers the way small retailers order, source and stock their products, and executes the last-mile of distribution, payments and merchandising for FMCG brands.
The opportunity
Headquartered in Windhoek, Namibia in with presence in 4 countries and 9 cities, we envision a Southern Africa footprint. A large percentage of retail transactions happen in the informal economy, where the majority of Africa's 1.35 billion population lives.
Today, the supply chain is broken and shop owners must take public transport to source and purchase the products they sell.

Last-mile delivery and fulfillment centers.
End-to-end technology to automate operations and increase productivity.
Real-time insights and data the brands never had before.
E-commerce for shop owners to source their products.
