About Boost Technology

Boost powers growth for manufacturers and their distribution networks with radically easy technology. The B2B commerce platform powering Africa's convenience economy

Boost is a global platform that powers FMCG manufacturers and last-mile distribution networks with radically easy technology and growth services.
Boost’s Platform-as-a-Service offering includes:

WhatsApp ordering to grow sales and serve more retailers with less effort;
An offline-enabled sales app for sales reps to manage their customers;
A fully-featured fulfilment platform with end-to-end visibility; and
Digital payment and credit solutions in partnership with Mastercard.

The Boost platform supports existing distributors operating in an offline trillion-dollar informal economy.

A single, flexible platform to serve customers in different languages and currencies, with multiple catalogues and prices across channels. Our on-the-ground teams in Egypt, Ghana, Kenya and Nigeria help with onboarding and customer success.

The idea
In early 2020 we started with an idea: to power growth for millions of retail entrepreneurs in the convenience economy with a B2B commerce platform. Then Covid arrived, creating a tipping point for digitisation. Within six months, Boost was operating in three of Africa’s most important economies.

The playbook
Every market we enter starts with partnerships and local founding teams who are experienced entrepreneurs. This frictionless approach enables us to listen, learn, build, and iterate on a shared platform that can serve the similarities and differences across very diverse markets.

The future
We’re just getting started on our journey to build and serve the most powerful network of retail entrepreneurs across Africa.
