Platform launch

Turning Africa's borders into bridges.

Today we launch both sides of otrovato: the new seller platform, built for you, and the buyer mobile app, built for how buyers in Africa buy. A smart one-stop shop for selling across Africa, with sourcing, logistics and warehousing under one roof. Keep this page open all day for the agenda and quick links.
