West African super app Gozem is live in Cameroon
Gozem, the super app that is already available in Lome, Cotonou, Libreville, and other West African cities, has announced the launch of its taxi booking service in Douala, Cameroon.
Gozem, a taxi-hailing service launched in Togo in November 2018, now operates in 12 cities across Togo, Benin, Gabon, and Cameroon, with over one million downloads and over seven million trips since its inception.
The startup has been pivoting toward a super app model, which was accelerated by a US$5 million funding round secured last year, and now offers a suite of services, including transportation, e-commerce, and financial services, to three types of customers in French-speaking Sub-Saharan Africa – consumers, transportation providers, and businesses.
Its operations are now expanding, with Cameroonians now able to download the Gozem app, which is available on Android and iOS, and order a taxi with the click of a button.
“We are very excited to offer Cameroonians a more simplified, safer, and convenient taxi cab solution.” Based on our experience in other Francophone markets in West and Central Africa, we are confident that Gozem’s innovative offering will provide immediate value to Douala’s passengers and drivers, as well as others across the country in the near future. According to Jean-Martial Moulaud, Gozem group director, “we will soon expand the range of services we offer in Cameroon to include motorcycles and delivery services, based on user needs.”
Gozem will soon offer Cameroonians the ability to order motorcycle and tricycle (tuk tuk) taxis, as well as delivery of groceries, gas bottles, meals, and more via the all-in-one Gozem super app, in addition to the taxi cab ride-hailing service announced today.
