Yango Delivery, a tech-driven platform facilitating swift in-city delivery services, has rolled out Cargo Express, a novel feature aimed at simplifying the transportation of bulky items across Africa’s urban landscapes.

Cargo Express makes its debut in key metropolitan hubs like Abidjan, Accra, and Lusaka, aspiring to set the standard for handling large-scale logistics across the continent. Moreover, customers can leverage additional perks such as assistance from movers and ten minutes of complimentary loading and unloading time, enhancing the convenience quotient of the service.

How It Operates

Cargo Express operates on a transparent pricing model, ensuring that customers are presented with upfront costs, eliminating any surprises at checkout. Upon placing an order, customers receive real-time updates on every stage of the delivery process, with delivery statuses relayed through push notifications and the movement of items tracked via the Yango in-app map.

Significance of the Initiative

This initiative addresses the prevailing challenges within the logistics sector, characterized by inefficiencies and opaque pricing structures, offering a much-needed solution to streamline large-item delivery.
