As a kid, he saw how his mother struggled to stock her both shops all by herself. He witnessed firsthand how mom-and-pop shops like his mother&#8217;s faced the problem of an inefficient distribution system that resulted in inconsistent inventory availability, opaque pricing, and other logistic concerns. This is what motivated Adewale to start Alerzo to help small businesses in the informal sector, especially women-led retail shops, connect with local and international suppliers of consumer goods.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In 2018, with the idea of Alerzo in black and white, Adewale approached investors to get funds to start up the company. The initial investors that saw sense in Alerzo&#8217;s offerings were a Singapore-based fund manager, Signal Hill, and Baobab Network, an Africa-focused accelerator based in London. In 2019, Alerzo officially kicked off in Ibadan, the same place he witnessed the gap retailers in the informal sector face when stocking up inventory for their shops. In subsequent seeding rounds, Alerzo raised over $20 million from several investment companies like Nosara Capital and FJ Labs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With the headquarters of Alerzo in Ibadan, the startup set out to help street-side vendors and shops in the ancient city access household suppliers quicker and more efficiently. Using the Alerzo digital marketplace, these retailers can place orders for FMCG products which would be delivered to their stores in less than 10 hours. The company then expanded its services to meet the logistics needs of informal sector retailers in other tier-2 to tier-4 southwestern cities like Ekiti and Abeokuta, to name a few.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The company further expanded its reach to Lagos, opening a physical branch on Victoria Island in 2021. According to the Techcrunch website, the company&#8217;s management claimed to have built a network of over 100,000 street-side vendors who use the Alerzo platform to get swift delivery of FMCG goods directly to their storefronts.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Alerzo serves as a direct link between multinational distributions of consumer brands like Unilever and Procter &amp; Gamble with the mom-and-pop store owners on the network. With Alerzo in charge of the supply chain and delivery, orders are processed and delivered to storefronts within 10 hours of a street-side vendor placing an order on the platform.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This last-mile distribution platform has processed over 2 million orders since its inception. With Alerzo owning and operating its full-stack tech-driven supply chain and logistics consisting of qualified personnel, over 200 vehicles and 20 warehouses, the thousands of small businesses who use this service need not take a day off to visit the central market, pay transportation and deal with hauling a large amount of inventory back to their stores.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Aside from the logistics aspect, the Alerzo digital platform also provides informal retailers with the capability to receive and make cashless payments, track their respective store profitability, buy airtime,\u00a0 pay bills and perform peer-to-peer transfers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Alerzo, through its office in Singapore, studies how last-mile distribution is done in Southeast Asia and India, identifying salient best practices to adapt to the Nigerian market.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">\n<h2><strong>How to Get Started with Alerzo\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you are convinced\u00a0 that your small business can benefit from the services offered by Alerzo, follow the steps below to get started:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Search for Alerzoshop on Google Play if your device is an Android or the App Store if you use an IOS device\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Download the app<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Upon completion of the download, launch the app<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Register on the app by following the prompts<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After successfully creating your account on Alerzoshop, proceed to place orders for the FMCG goods for your business<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">\n<h2><strong>What You Need to Know About the Founder and CEO of Alerzo<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Having explained what Alerzo&#8217;s offerings to small businesses are, we think we should briefly discuss who the brain behind this B2B startup is.
