2. Sabi Market | The Digital Facilitator for B2B Trade:

Sabi Market, the digital facilitator for B2B Trade, was created to meet the specific needs of the rapidly evolving consumer-goods sector in frontier markets. With a focus on user needs, it acts as a central platform where wholesalers, last-mile retailers, logistics partners, and financiers interact with the supply from regional distributors.

Sabi Market combines advanced technology to streamline the supply chain and integrated finance to support all participants in the distribution of physical goods in frontier markets.

This includes a flexible logistics system for on-time deliveries and product quality, as well as a range of financial tools tailored to different business requirements.

By providing customized financial solutions, the aim is to ease the financial pressures often associated with bulk purchases.

The platform’s design emphasizes security and transparency, incorporating features to verify both buyers and sellers, thereby building trust in every transaction.

3. Financial Services

A key component of a successful business is its ability to access dependable financial services, especially in emerging markets where achieving financial stability can be challenging.

Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) frequently face a significant challenge: they struggle to easily conduct transactions and obtain credit in environments that are not always favorable.

This lack of financial assistance can significantly hinder their ability to take advantage of market opportunities and can further restrict them to relying on cash transactions. This is where Sabi’s integrated financial services become important.

We don’t just provide a service, we provide essential support. Our customized financial solutions tackle the challenges of insufficient payment tools, preventing the resulting loss of sales and income.

Additionally, by making it easier to access credit, we enable businesses to meet their operational needs, take advantage of growth opportunities, and strengthen themselves against unexpected economic obstacles. Sabi merchants aren’t just surviving—they’re flourishing.
