African Vivo Energy stations to become pick up locations for Jumia

Vivo Energy and Jumia partner to improve offering and convenience to customers in Africa.

Vivo Energy, the pan-African retailer and distributor of Shell and Engen-branded fuels and lubricants, and Jumia, the leading pan-African e-commerce platform, have agreed to partner to develop and pilot a series of initiatives, designed to offer additional services to customers in selected countries where both companies operate.

Implementation of these initiatives is a further demonstration of Vivo Energy’s plans to offer innovative and convenient solutions to customers, building on its non-fuel retail offer.

Vivo Energy petrol stations will become pick up and drop off points for customer of Jumia to collect or return online orders. Customers will also be able to place and pay orders for Jumia’s online service.

Other initiatives are also being explored that combine Vivo Energy’s network of physical service stations and Jumia’s digital platform.

“Our customers are rightly demanding newer and faster ways of accessing products and services. Vivo Energy and Jumia are both focused on developing innovative ways to make their customers’ experience more convenient and rewarding,” said Omar Benson, vice president of retail at Vivo Energy.

Vivo Energy has a network of over 2,100 service stations in 23 countries operating under the Shell and Engen brands.
