Konga is likely one of only a handful few eCommerce stages in Africa with its own particular bespoke programming arrangements. In February 2014, Konga began take a shot at its own custom commercial center stage, SellerHQ and by September of that year it was prepared and working superior to outsider arrangements.

Magento is as yet the worldwide go-to for eCommerce arrangements crosswise over Africa even Konga still uses it. Be that as it may, with appropriate structure, Konga can successfully fill this hole and rake in huge profits doing it.

Differentiate and offer

In the event that the gathered $10 million obtaining cost is anything to pass by, Zinox got Konga at not as much as a deal considering that Konga's unique financial specialists most likely lost cash.

In any case, as an insightful representative, auctioning off Konga in parts can be a conceivable inspiration.

Konga at present has three backup arms — KOS Delivery, KongaPay and Konga.com — and they all can possibly be singular item portfolios.

The current worldwide eCommerce blast has guaranteed that coordinations is a well sought after administration if appropriately organized. With Kobo and its extensive volume of exchanges for instance, coordinations is a major ordeal in Nigeria if done right so KOS Delivery won't have an issue scaling and offering.

Installments is as yet one of the greatest most despicable aspect of eCommerce in Nigeria and KongaPay can be situated to handle this issue as an organization all alone.

At last, for all the product reasons, Konga is as yet extraordinary compared to other organized eCommerce stages in Nigeria. This gives it a programmed edge to fly.

With his involvement in business, Leo Stan Ekeh won't have any issues differentiating Konga into all these effectively existing arms, building stable substances and auctioning them off.
