Iconway – a consumer internet company based in Lagos has launched a hyper-local delivery service called padi.ng. The newly launched ecommerce website (padi.ng) which gives users easy access to products from partner stores promises to deliver all orders within 90 minutes.
At the moment, the service is only available in Ikeja, Lagos. However there’s a caption at the bottom of the site which suggests that the company plans to be available in other cities soon.
Speaking on the launch, Iconway Founder, Oduntan Odubanjo explained that the aim of the company is to help customers have a better online shopping experience by providing them with faster deliveries from local stores within their homes and offices. He also added that “Our goal is to help people save time and take away stress that comes with getting the things they need. We also want to help retail merchants do more business with the power of the internet.”
In order to achieve these goals, padi has partnered with several stores within Ikeja including Allure Cosmetics, Eat Rite Fruits, Licious Desserts, Kitup and others.
It really will be interesting to see how well padi.ng does in keeping its promise to deliver orders with 90mins within the coming months.
