Retoria online shopping has announced it will give its customers the option to shop from a wide range of products at affordable prices, as the Kenyan e-commerce player ups its game in the stiff online business.
The company has identified about 25 Kenyan vendors who will sell high-end products such as electronics, fashion, home and living, and mobile accessories at cheaper rates. The company also plans to reduce delivery time and is investing in technology and infrastructure for enhancing its logistics support by meeting the demand of customers intending to service deliveries on the same day and the next-day.
“Stock is the main pillar of commerce, after payments and logistics, which requires optimisation in Kenya. We can assure our customers that we can deliver their orders within 3 days and 24 hours for those around Nairobi,” said Mr John Kanyiha, the managing director for Retoria.
Retoria is looking to partner with offline traders for selling products. It will provide one-day and two-day deliveries for appliances and electronic products across major cities across Kenya in the first phase.
