The case for a multi-vendor marketplace in Moçâmedes (Namibe)
Moçâmedes (Namibe) is a municipality in namibe province, angola, with a population of roughly 255,000, and one of the markets in Angola where we build multi-vendor marketplaces.
Southern fishing port — a business base that increasingly wants to sell online rather than through calls, messages and spreadsheets.
Angola is a large Portuguese-speaking market where Multicaixa Express has rapidly digitised payments. Online retail is still early, which means first-mover advantage for well-run stores.
That is why more companies in Moçâmedes (Namibe) are moving from phone, WhatsApp and spreadsheet orders to a proper multi-vendor marketplace — one place where products, prices, payments, orders and customers are managed together.
