About

The company also said it closed a $2.5 million working capital facility to serve its customers. The company claims to have processed over 1 million orders this past year. The company provides warehousing and fulfillment solutions to suppliers and storefront delivery to informal retailers. Adewale Opaleye founded Alerzo in 2018 as a last-mile distribution platform that helps retailers stock inventory directly from manufacturers. Speaking with TechCrunch, Opaleye said he started Alerzo to empower the millions of women who are the backbone of consumer commerce in Nigeria’s $100 billion informal retail sector. Alerzo claims to have built up a network of up to 100,000 small businesses, 90% of which are women-led. Alerzo has an office in Singapore that the CEO says serves as a regional hub to identify best practices among similar high-growth businesses operating across Southeast Asia and India and adapt them to the Nigerian market.
