Kyosk Digital Services, a digital-first and data-driven distribution platform known for its innovative solutions in the digital retail space, has set its sights on the untapped potential of the African fresh produce market with the acquisition of e-grocery platform KwikBasket.
KwikBasket has earned a strong reputation for its user-friendly interface, wide product selection, and efficient delivery network. By joining forces with Kyosk, KwikBasket’s platform will benefit from advanced digital capabilities and a robust infrastructure, enabling it to scale rapidly and meet the evolving needs of customers.
