Factorial has partnered with Glovo Kenya to promote the adoption of artificial intelligence and digital workforce management tools in Kenya.
Factorial and Glovo Kenya announced a partnership focused on AI and digital workforce management solutions for businesses in the country.
The collaboration was highlighted at Glovo Kenya’s inaugural Future of Commerce Summit. The event brought together business leaders, entrepreneurs and industry innovators to discuss trends, technologies and strategies shaping the future of commerce.
Factorial used the summit to showcase its Factorial One AI platform. Factorial said the platform integrates payroll processing, talent management, employee performance monitoring and workforce analytics.
Factorial Partner Manager Fredrick Githendu said East Africa’s expanding commerce sector required “smarter, faster, and more connected ways of managing people.” He added that the partnership with Glovo and participation in the summit showed Factorial’s commitment to the regional market.
Glovo Kenya Country Managing Director Caroline Mutuku said the summit gave decision makers a platform to examine changes in retail, logistics and digital trade. She said Glovo’s business in Kenya had grown fourfold over the past four years, while its workforce increased from 33 to more than 100 employees. Mutuku said the company’s expansion increased the need for smarter and more efficient approaches to workforce management.
The announcement comes as more businesses across Africa adopt digital human resource tools as alternatives to manual employee management.
The release cited a 2025 Deloitte report saying more than 60 per cent of medium-sized enterprises in major African cities have adopted at least one digital HR tool.
It also said Africa’s payroll software market, valued at $487.3 million in 2026, is projected to grow to $1.66 billion by 2035, a compound annual growth rate of 14.6 per cent. The release linked this growth to increased cloud technology adoption, rising regulatory compliance requirements and the expansion of mobile first business infrastructure.
