Firm eyes share of $40.8b African e-Commerc market with AnyworkX

Indigenous firm, X-agon Digital Solutions Limited, has introduced an online marketplace app, AnyworkX to connect service providers to their customers at any given time and location.

This is as it positioned itself to key into the revenue in the e-commerce market in Africa, which is projected to reach $40.80 billion in 2023.
AnyworkX, an e-service ordering app that connects verified service providers to verified customers. It helps to connect the best and skillful workforce to customers with the service providers’ track record and data fully provided on the site, ensuring a solid agreement between both parties and reducing the rate of unprofessional service delivery and scam.

The Executive Director, Product and Strategy, X-agon Digital Solutions Limited, Bolaji Tijani, in Lagos, said the e-service market is huge, even as he disclosed that AnyworkX app will be deployed in five African countries before the end of Q1 of 2024.

Tijani averred that AnyworkX app was put in place to create a much bigger and borderless marketplace, as well as customer base for service providers, thereby enhancing their ability to earn more revenue than they would ordinarily earn.

“Considering the increasing cost of living across the globe, it has become imperative for everyone in the economically productive demographic to reduce idle time and earn more money. Linked to that, is a need to create convenience and quick turnaround time for customers whenever they are in need of services especially during periods of emergency and urgency,” he explained.

The ED noted that AnyworkX is strictly for services, while harping that it is not a marketplace for commodities. He disclosed that there are over 200 different categories of services on the app, ranging from dog trainer, marriage counsellor, musical instrument teacher, lesson teacher, medical and wellness services, ambulance services, legal services, automobile services and care services, among others.

On safety and security, Tijani said X-agon Digital Solutions Limited, has put in place mandatory security verification levels to ensure safety and security of users, thereby reducing identity fraud.
