ShaQ Express is an e-commerce & logistics company seeking to provide a connected digital experience between vendors and customers. By providing a seamless platform ShaQ Express allows vendors and shops to sell and gives the convenience to customers to shop from a variety of stores, order food & cakes and move packages from one point to another.
The business which started in 2020 as a delivery business, offering swift, secure and reliable services to customers in Accraand has now grown into a technology startup built around marketplace and logistics. They currently have an active user base of over 13,000 customers, operating in 4 regions, namely Greater Accra, Central, Northern and Ashanti regions with plans of expansion to the other regions in Ghana and certain African countries in the pipeline.
The company deployed electric bikes in Accra earlier this yearas part of efforts to operate in a sustainable manner and also cut down on its recurrent expenditure, particularly fuel. Although a burgeoning business with dozens of delivery companies in operation, not many courier operators use electric motorbikes – making ShaQ Express one of the first companies to do so in the country.
