Dan Sako
Social media emergence boosted business visibility of many small and home businesses but left them with huge gap of delivery of product after ordering which largely affect their business sustainability.
We are providing a Courier On-demand service for these businesses. We verify drivers before linking them up immediately with buyers or sellers to pick up their products and deliver successfully at affordable price when the need arise.
This will help people especially women deprived of going out due to very strong religious and cultural beliefs in Nigeria, which prevent millions of women to carry out successful businesses and becoming financially independent to empower and enable them make decisions for themselves and provide income stream for millions of bike owners due to ban on commercial bike activities by government in many states in Nigeria.
In Northern Nigeria, there is virtually few homes without home businesses by housewives or an aged lady, but these businesses never thrive due to locking women indoors and never allowed to go out. This rendered most women powerless because of financial constraints, they are unable to make personal decisions.
Having a business at home and advertising on social media, exposed their business to a larger market, but this market never scale due to inability to satisfy key customer needs, which is delivering the product to customer.
Dan Sako is a Courier On-demand Service delivery platform, which connect verified drivers to business owners or buyers that will help them deliver product from one location to another at affordable price.
User (seller or buyer) will register on the platform through mobile app, this enable user to request a driver to pick up product for him with pick up and delivery address. The nearest verified driver to the pick up location get notification and accept the request, this will enable him to go and pick up the product and deliver it to the buyer.

Payment is made seamlessly through the platform or on delivery by the buyer or seller.
Dan Sako is empowering the marginalized women, small business owners and creating income revenue for people with bike who are having no or limited income sources due to ban on commercial motor cycle in most State in Nigeria.
I was able to carry out a survey on 100 female home businesses, regarding their major challenges as a result of my participation in UNICEF and Cartedo COVID-19 African Challenge for youths in providing a community based solution to problems. All the people complain about delivery product to buyers as their biggest challenge as they already have the medium to advertise their products.
Dan Sako will address the problem of product delivery on time and with trust to their customers.
