It explained that the revamped app, scheduled for launch in Lagos on October 1, combined Business Treepz, and Rental Treepz, into a single, intuitive platform, adding that the update aimed to address diverse transportation needs for corporate clients and individual users alike.

Through its partnerships with firms including Parallex Bank and KingMakers, owners of Betkings, Treepz, which is also celebrating five years, has continued to expand its services by providing transportation solutions for over 50,000 employees monthly.

Commenting on the five-year milestone achieved, Treepz COO & co-founder, Johnny Enagwolor, said the anniversary is not more than a journey celebration.
