Boost is a B2B commerce platform for manufacturers, distributors, wholesalers, and convenience retailers across Africa that digitizes sales, ordering, payments, and stock processes.

Key capabilities include:

  • WhatsApp-based ordering to digitise demand for retailers already using messaging, plus data-light apps for day-to-day fulfilment and payment workflows
  • Market-specific catalogues and pricing with support for channel and territory-specific catalogues, currencies, and languages
  • Order management and retailer tools such as digital pre-ordering, promotions, and retailer insights to help suppliers improve reach and execution
  • Real-time analytics and reporting, plus Stock Boosts (stock financing) to support working capital needs for distributors and retailers

Available on Web (sign-in portal) and WhatsApp ordering.

Target users include FMCG suppliers, key distributors and wholesalers, and informal or micro retailers operating in Africa’s convenience economy.

Notable for its focus on the fragmented, offline convenience retail supply chain, with local onboarding and customer success teams in Egypt, Ghana, Kenya, and Nigeria, and partnerships such as Mastercard to support digital payments and embedded supply chain finance initiatives. Boost launched in 2020 and was founded by Mike Quinn, co-founder of Zambian mobile money company Zoona.
