• Capacity Development Provider
The Informal retail market is predominantly fragmented, dominated by a complex distribution network of micro-retailers, kiosks, hawkers, table-top sellers, open market traders, wholesalers, and suppliers. Retailers are small, spread out over many locations, and with low volume per drop and distributors struggle to service them cost effectively;Vuleka Platform is structured to support an entire trading ecosystem within the informal sector. We help Informal businesses source products from manufacturers and provide last-mile delivery to their trading spaces . Retailers can order products via The Vuleka App;SMS, voice, and WhatsApp. Vuleka also builds credit profiles for these informal business owners and provides them with credit based on these profiles in order to procure stock or to build their businesses.
