Have you ever thought of having to transport large-sized goods, or, having to deal with the stress of seeking contractors to move heavy goods from one location to another? Have you ever sent goods to another part of the country with 24/7 worry about the safety of your goods?
Through technology, Kobo360, a leading player in the Logistic industry on the African continent, is using technology to connect cargo owners, truck owners, drivers and cargo recipients, thus, bringing efficiency and cost reduction to bear, in the supply chain framework.

Obi Ozor stated that this App will wrap the entire process in secure, innovative and world-class technology, not found anywhere else in the world. The organization launched three Apps, catering to the three core focuses of the organization; the consumer App, the partner’s App and the driver’s App.
The consumers are the people who have goods to move to from one location to another and need the service of the company. The drivers are the ones who would drive the trucks to deliver the goods and the partners are the people at the receiving end, who will receive the goods.
Head of Tech at the tech logistics company, Tosin Adesipe also learnt his voice “Logistics is one of the biggest sectors in the country and regardless of its size, it is not connected; hence the kobo 360 intelligent Application, which employs basic features, to not only meet the demands of customers but to create accessibility to customer goods. The kobo360 mobile and web App is now available for viable consumers”,
The unique bidding feature on the App enables customers, who want a particular service, to bid and the final bidder gets the deal. Apart from its on-demand business model operation, the features of the Application, give it an edge, over other logistics businesses. Consumers can now track and monitor their goods from the point of sending it until it arrives at the expected location.
