Phlenyx

A student who needs a tripod stand for a weekend project, and a mum whose baby's food is at the verge of exhaustion won't wait for 7 days to have their online order delivered. Phlenyx is an online retail marketplace created on the belief that most commodity items you want to buy can be found within a 20-km radius of your location. In 2020, over 75 million Nigerians used e-commerce (directly or indirectly), but less than 9 million continued using it — this was as result of long duration & high cost of goods delivery. Further, data shows that the non-continuing & non-consumption e-commerce users in Nigeria amounts to 125+ million people — SHOCKING, right? At Phlenyx, we're using geo-tagging and intelligent data gathering to connect buyers to sellers within a close proximity, and then deliver ordered goods to buyers in less than 24 hours. We believe that our user experience while shopping should be worth remembering, thus we enable buyers to virtually "tag along" their friends while shopping on Phlenyx, thus promoting social interactions within the app.
