Treepz Inc, a mobility-as-a-service platform, has announced that it has successfully achieved a milestone of one million bookings completed across Africa.
These bookings according to Treepz officials span their three core services including Daily Treepz, Travel Treepz and Corporate Treepz.
Daily Treepz is the service focused on connecting riders to heroes (drivers) commuting within cities daily.
Travel Treepz is the business service that allows users search, compare and directly book travel bus tickets on the platform. This service was designed to help commuters travel and connect cities with ease.
Corporate Treepz on the other hand is the solution used to manage transporting individuals for businesses daily. This could be employees, school students or fulfilment of any private or official transportation need.
Treepz officially started operating in Uganda in November 2021 after acquisition of Ugabus, a Ugandan bus company that aggregates inter-city bus operators. It is currently operating in Uganda, Nigeria and Ghana.
Speaking on the growth of the company, Treepz Chief Executive Officer, Onyeka Akumah said, “This milestone achievement has largely been driven by our inter-continent expansion, great business decisions and efforts of the team.”
“It would also not have been possible without the dedicated service of our heroes, partners and the loyalty of our esteemed riders. We are very excited about our tremendous growth and progress we have made in the past 3 months, with our weekly rides increasing at a rapid rate,” he added.
In addition to celebrating the one million bookings milestone, they recently won the Global Startup Awards for African Industrial Technology Company of the year.
Onyeka revealed that “going forward, Treepz will be focused on expanding into 5 additional African countries while hitting other notable milestones before the end of the year.”
