Nigeria - Startup under 3 years old

Describe your project or startup in a few words

Floot is a ride hailing and logistic platform.

01.01 Describe your startup in more detail

Floot is a ride hailing and logistic platform fully owned by a Nigerian.Lets remember that Floot would be the the first ride hailing platform developed and owned by a Nigerian. Although floot has a tariff for car,it also have a tariff called "commute delivery" which allows people deliver items using public vehicles at cheaper rates.This means employment for a larger number of people especially those who do not have access to logistic bike or vehicle. To ensure that Floot commute becomes a success and fosters massive employment,we do not have logistic bike tariff in Lagos. Because floot commute was essentially designed for web-preneures (e-commerce,dropshippers, affiliate marketers),We want to give every support to web-preneures,partnering with them to use Floot commute for portable deliveries. Please know that we have our app called "Floot NG" on playstore. The app works just like uber, where our rides and delivery guys gets rides and deliveries requests in-app .

01.02 What is the main problem you are trying to solve?

One problem we are solving with our rides tariff is transportation in every part of Nigeria.We hope to provide affordable,safe and comfortable transport .this may be tricycle,cars etc With our Floot commute tariff,we are solving the problems of unemployment as people can start delivering items for our clients using public transportation.Floot commute would also reduce the peak rate of bike accidents usually expirienced by logistics bike in the ever bustling city of Lagos.

01.03 Tell us the major benefits and/or advantages of using the product/service that your startup provides (at least 3).

For our ride tariff,yes the rides are affordable,safe, comfortable and indigenous. For our Floot commute tariff,Floot commute is very cheap compared to delivery bikes.For example our competitors would charge as much as 5 dollars for a 3km destination,but floot commute would charge 1 dollar.the secret lies in the public transportation with just a little additional fee for the service of the commuter/delivery guy.

Uber Bolt Indriver. Our difference is that we are indigenously creative.we look at what works better in a region for transportation and make it bookable , comfortable and safer. And our new tariff,Floor commute creates more jobs unlike theirs where one delivery bike would pick about 5 orders before venturing to a destination.Floot commute is one order per delivery,which makes it faster,safer and cheaper
