Intercity and last-mile transport services for people and goods in Nigeria
This challenge is in phase: Incubate business
How might we improve intercity and last-mile transport services for people and goods in Nigeria?
The transport and e-commerce sectors are crucial for economic and social development in Nigeria, and they are currently booming. As of today, intercity transport services in Nigeria have been dominated by private operators. Informal and demand-driven para transit services consisting of minibuses, shared taxis, motorized three-wheelers, and motorcycle taxi are predominant in urban transport. The 17th lab aims to improve the transport of passengers and goods with a focus on digital trade.

Understand
Nigeria's e-commerce and online trading market is worth about 13 billion USD today and is expected to rise to 50 billion USD in the next 10 years. Also, the logistics sector has witnesses significant growth with a rise of 140 million USD from 2017 to over 696 million USD in 2018. Both are essential ingredients to enhanced productivity. Transport services, as the backbone of economic growth, must adopt intelligent technologies to meet customer needs. Modern transport services in Nigeria are predominantly demand driven and informal, operated by private operators. Urban transport therefore consists mainly of para transit services such as minibuses, shared taxis, motorised tricycles and motorcycle taxis. These services are characterised by poor fleet quality, inefficiency, low profitability, under-investment, and negative effects on the environment. Another issue is the lack of transparency, which makes the development of business relations difficult.
The lab of tomorrow #17 aims to tackle these challenges at the intersection of the transport of passengers and goods, with a focus on digital trade. Specifically, e-commerce would profit from alternative means of delivery, more security in payment systems, and stronger cooperation between the e-commerce service providers and delivery services. These tasks require tailor-made solutions which can be provided by the private sector. There is great potential for business development, i.e., in the areas of platform solutions, insurance or logistics, which in turn create employment opportunities, support recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic and tackle development barriers.

5 ventures successfully entered the Incubation Phase.moniemove
moniemove is a B2B marketplace that enables small and medium-sized logistic service providers in Nigeria to procure their supplies in bulk and hence increase their purchasing power on the market. Furthermore, moniemove’s integration of a secure payment and shipment tracking system allows for a seamless operation of the marketplace as well as high customer satisfaction.
efotainer
efotainer (efo meaning vegetables) is a mobile solar-powered refrigeration device, which enables continuous cooling in the process of transporting perishable goods from farm gates to the final destination. Following the motto “Mobile cooling at its best”, this new tool guarantees freshness and a prolonged shelf-life of the produce while at the same time, through real-time monitoring, providing data on the location of the transported goods.
Cargolink
Following the motto “More opportunities, Better deliveries”, Cargolink is a digital platform where trusted logistics operators can seamlessly partner on nationwide shipment. The platform connects intercity delivery providers with last-mile carriers to close that gap in the last-mile infrastructure and to enable more efficient shipments.
Shapp
Shapp Delivery Management is a delivery management platform that helps e-commerce vendors and delivery companies to solve this miscommunication between package sender, delivery company and rider. The platform hence enables e-commerce vendors to increase their transparency and reliability which optimizes their operations, upgrades the customer experience and maximizes revenues.
