The operating context

A delivery service competing for direct orders.

Piki's online ordering system, delivery logistics, and marketing all needed work. Without a strong online ordering platform, it was hard to reach more customers and compete with other delivery services, and deliveries that were not optimized arrived late.

The food delivery market in Tanzania was changing quickly. Piki needed a solution that followed its brand guidelines, strengthened its direct ordering channels, reduced its reliance on third-party platforms, and could be implemented fast.

What Piki needed

  • A strong online ordering platform to reach more customers.
  • Optimized delivery logistics to avoid late deliveries.
  • Targeted promotions and loyalty programs.
  • A solution tailored to its brand guidelines.
  • Stronger direct ordering channels and less reliance on third-party platforms.
  • A fast implementation and sales growth.

How it connects

From the customer's order to the store and the driver.

Customers order on the website or in the app. Stores receive orders in the store app, and Piki's drivers deliver them with the driver app.
