PR97691
JOHANNESBURG, Sept. 7, 2022 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --
MTN Group, Africa's largest network operator, has signed a partnership
agreement with Dooka, a new African Business-to-Business (B2B) marketplace.
This partnership represents a paradigm shift in corporate procurement by
bringing the ease of consumer marketplace buying to corporations across Africa.
This innovation will lead to equitable access, digital transparency and greater
efficiency for MTN's suppliers.
"Our new relationship with Dooka is hugely exciting and brings efficiencies to
every level of the supply chain. It stands to transform the way businesses
operate across Africa. I am extremely proud that MTN are the anchor partner
with a truly African organisation and a solution which is built specifically
for Africa," said Dirk Karl, Executive and Chief Procurement Officer at MTN
Group.
Dooka's B2B marketplace opens a world of opportunities for local suppliers, who
had previously been locked out from supplying larger businesses due to the
challenges of digital connections and high barriers of entry. This marketplace
enables them easier access to sell more goods and services to MTN as well as
other African leading multinationals
"This is a chance to revolutionise the supply chain," says Toby Sparrow,
Dooka's CEO. "Together with MTN, we can demonstrate to the world that the right
tools enable corporations to create jobs, development and growth through good
procurement strategy. Dooka represents a new way to connect buyers and sellers
across every industry. We are leveling the playing field so businesses large
and small across Africa can transact as easily as if shopping at home and using
the latest digital technologies."
