1. Introducing GoBuy: GoBuy is a modern and responsive web platform dedicated to pan-African commerce. It directly connects individual buyers and local merchants in a unified, seamless and secure experience.
2. The field observation & problems:
In Africa, a huge share of retail sales takes place through informal channels (WhatsApp statuses, Facebook posts, message loops). This fragmentation causes major friction:
Tidious search: Buyers must wade through dozens of ephemeral statuses to find tech, fashion or home products.
Lack of visibility of sellers: Local merchants find it difficult to organize their catalog and manage their inventory efficiently.
Lack of centralization: No single entry point to compare prices, check the reputation of stores and place orders quickly.
