Efficiency Through Warehousing and Fulfillment

To ensure faster and more efficient delivery, the partnership includes a strategic warehousing agreement. MTN will pre-stock Shiip’s warehouses with high-demand devices, minimizing pick-up trips and streamlining order processing. This not only reduces wait times for customers but also alleviates potential stock-out issues, guaranteeing a smooth and reliable delivery experience.

Bridging the Digital Divide

By making internet devices more accessible and affordable, this partnership plays a crucial role in bridging the digital divide in Nigeria. With faster delivery and wider reach, more Nigerians will have the opportunity to connect to the internet, unlock educational and economic opportunities, and contribute to the country’s digital transformation.

Leveraging Shiip’s Unmatched Network and Expertise

Shiip stands as Africa’s largest logistics leader, boasting a network of over 82 partners, including delivery companies and couriers. This extensive network guarantees nationwide coverage, even in remote areas, and ensures reliable delivery even during peak seasons. Additionally, MTN customers benefit from streamlined rates, making device purchases even more attractive.
