https://techcabal.com/2022/09/26/vendease-raises-30-million-to-offer-procurement-services-across-africa/

Following the effects of COVID-19 and the war in Ukraine, food prices in Nigeria have soared to a 17-year high. According to the National Bureau of Statistics, the current inflation rate in Nigeria rose to 20.52% in August, the highest since October 2005. A recent market survey has shown that the cost of staples has risen over 100% in the last 5 years.

The hospitality sector has been especially impacted because food suppliers have had to raise prices to stay afloat. The price increase has complicated the procurement process, which was already arduous. To procure food supplies at good rates, restaurants are losing time and money, two already limited resources.

Providing a solution is Vendease, a Y Combinator-backed digital platform that allows restaurants in Africa to buy supplies, access financial services, and power their business operations. Founded by Tunde Kara, Olumide Fayankin, Gatumi Aliyu, and Wale Oyepeju, the startup has raised $30 million in an equity and debt funding round to consolidate its growth and operations in Nigeria and Ghana, and to support its expansion across the continent.

The series A equity round of $20 million was co-led by TLcom and Partech, two of the biggest Africa-focused funds. The equity round also included VentureSouq, Hustle fund, Hack VC, GFR Fund, Kube VC, Magic Fund and Kairos Angels, who re-invested after participating in the previous round. The $10 million debt round was raised from the local finance market. Following their investments, Andreata Muforo, a partner at TLcom, and Cyril Collon, a general partner at Partech, will join Vendease’s board as new directors.

Present in 8 cities across Nigeria and Ghana, Vendease makes bulk-buy deals with food suppliers, warehouses the food and guarantees delivery within a day for food supplies at considerably cheaper prices for restaurants. Over the last 12 months, Vendease has moved more than 400,000 metric tonnes of food through its platform, helping its users save more than $2,000,000 in procurement costs and more than 10,000 procurement man-hours. On a call with TechCabal, Tunde Kara, the CEO of Vendease, said that the company has seen 3x growth in the number of users on its platform and 5x growth in its revenue over the last 12 months. He added that these numbers showed that Vendease has helped to improve the efficiency of the flow of food.

Building a food supply operating system: the Vendease story

On the call, Kara said that with this new funding, Vendease plans to help restaurants track the journey of food from how it enters the restaurant to how it eventually leaves the restaurant to the consumer. It also plans to deepen its presence in the 8 cities it is present in across Ghana and Nigeria, chase shorter delivery times and expand into a few more markets.

He added that some of the funding would go to Vendease’s enterprise resource planning (ERP) software. The ERP software automates the flow of food from farm to restaurant, optimises business operations across the value chain through accurate data deployment, reduces wastage, and drives profitability for restaurants. Although their software has helped their customers, there is still “a lot on the table” for Vendease to achieve, according to Kara.

With their ERP, any restaurant that decides to launch within the next 2 years would have access to a plug-and-play platform where financing, inventory management, recipe management, and other necessities are taken care of. According to Kara, this would allow anyone the opportunity to start a restaurant and is an opportunity that was not previously available.

According to the company, users have accessed more than $12 million worth of inventory via its embedded finance product. Kara said that this feature has seen enormous success because Vendease has taken the time to understand its user base. He added that the company uses data to help its userbase tackle its shoddy invoicing and inventory management systems, allowing them to pay back in record time.

Vendease originally started out as a marketplace that connected food suppliers to restaurants but decided to change its business model to an ERP solution when the company realised it could make an impact in the supply chain process.

Speaking on the raise in a statement, Andreata Muforo, partner at TLcom, said, “Restaurants and food businesses play a vital role in communities across the continent and Vendease is on a mission to bring affordability, convenience, and reliability to these businesses and builds a platform that allows the wider food sector to optimise their operations. We look forward to working alongside the team as they pursue the next phase of growth and unlock significant value in Africa’s fragmented food supply chain.

That 36M will erect a well structured two bedroom apartment in Ikoyi.

which if the ikoyi?....your 36m never even buy the land for ikoyi

FERNANDEZISBACK:

Why is she pained from the war her people started?

I do not support the statement from the lady Uju,it disgust me. I even cancelled/blocked a close friend from all corners because of this same topic, just yesterday.

But don't be a fuc*ktard by asking this stupid question. Go study your history.

CommonSense1967:
Peter Obi-tuary will NOT win a single local government not to talk of a state.

would you love to bet your entire life's worth on this?

God1000:
yeah, but some cities like Abuja, Calabar, uyo and port Harcourt are still clean

please don't mention Port Harcourt

Felt so disappointed on my last visit there.

Honor10:
Lolz. Lizard thinking himself as crocodile, don't worry you will be taught a bitter lesson in 2023, if you win any state outside SE come and arrest me.

Do you know the number of vote difference between APC and PDP in 2019 presidential election?

anonymous1759:

It’s now I believe Africa doesn’t have a mind of her own Nairaland might be under Western influence.
The Aljazeera journalists killed didn’t make FP, CNN and BBC didn’t echo it because Isreal is their ally we know what will happen if it’s the opposite. A female journalist was murdered in cold blood with her full regalia.

No amount of propaganda can make you win wars it’s only your might. Keep on selecting news. Russia waited for two months to evacuate civilians from the azov steel you guys didn’t echo it or give credit to the Russians.
If it’s possible very soon the likes of us will be cracked down because we refuse to swallow poo.

Shut the F. Up if you don't have television or satellite connection in your house or mobile device.

maasoap:


The information is out there in the open. Russia defence can't compare to USA in terms of spending and arsenals. But in ballistics and missiles, Russia is far ahead, other countries including USA are just playing catch up. It is not a secret

That is to say, no one truly knows the capacity of US ballistic weapons, we only know what they want us to know and they don't make noise about it.

Russia has all this weapons but their defense budget is just 8% of the total spending for US, pulse for a minute and think about it. Everyone should be wary because of the limited information on the US ballistic/nuclear arsenal, cos I honestly believe what they let us know is no where near the true stock pile of their nuclear capabilities.

maasoap:

I guess that's because they decided not to destroy every living and non living thing in Ukraine.


No be by mouth, Russia is the real deal as far as ballistic missiles is concerned.

Real deal you say , have you tried asking yourself what US does with it's defense budget of 700+ billion dollars, compared to Russia 64 billion dollars defense budget?

sapientia:
Putin Fan Bots will invade the thread

Just to rant "Western propaganda"

The new line in Nairaland to know morons and clowns

Lol.... It's no longer "fake news"

[q[b][/b]uote author=kingphilip post=110873392]I have always been against the idea of carpet crossing because in the real sense, it doesn't make any sense to do so.

Both APC and PDP have different idealogies and what's the essence of you carpet crossing? Is it that you've changed idea or what?

But this is Nigeria sha, even when they do not carpetcross if they find a common ground to loot the country dry, they'll unite even across partylines to do so.

I hope the judgement stands so that the useless carpetcrossing can go to hell.[/quote] Which different idealogies?

No party in Nigeria have any form of idealogy, they are all bunch of thiefies who move both ways at will, when it serves their interest.

DropsMic:



He envisaged it, and still went ahead with the qinvasion. what does that tell you?

What do you think will happen when this banks can't conduct international transactions anymore, losing billions of dollars every day?

What do you will happen when, Russia can not sell it's gas anymore to Europe and some Asian countries anymore?

Europe is going to feel the impact of the gas supply but believe me, it's going to be a short term but what do you feel is going to happen to the Russian economy, when it can't export nor import products?

InoGetJoy:

I'm 28 years old, sir

alright then, I won't excuse your ignorance.

You are plainly dumb by not knowing little international history and showing all boldness to showcase your ignorance on public space.

olas24u:


All NATO members have American weapon systems, so they cant do anything without America, Ukraine should opt to be like japan ,japan cannot participate in war

I rarely jump on people's mention here but it's getting harder by the day.

I'm sorry but you are plainly dumb.

InoGetJoy:

Russia never had any intention of being a block power. Check from history, they've always been content with staying on their own unlike US that has been meddling in the affairs of other countries

How old are you?

Rugaria:


Taiwan has always been Chinese.. Don't let Western propaganda fool you. Taiwan is not Ukraine. Taiwan is Chinese and Ukraine is not Russian. Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macao reminds China of the enermous levels the west had to go in order to undermine her when she was weak and poor. China has got a good case to demand the return of Taiwan. The British are still in Falklands and The French controls West Africa and polenesia, yet they're the ones condemning Russia.

Democratic West? Is there anything democratic about the current world order? You live in Africa that has been more or else designated a mininig field, a continent being rapaciously raped by Western multinationals and agencies and you're talking of a democratic world order? What is democratic about Nigerias politics today as is supported by the West? I think most Africans suffer the political equivalent of the Stockholm syndrome in their rabid obeisance to western dictates..

Oga stop rambling nonsense.

The person you quoted isn't glorifying the West or US, the broader effect of the fall out between Russia and Ukraine is what he his trying to make you understand.

Since you don't like the present world order, WHAT DO YOU PROPOSE?

Russia can take over Ukraine, North Korea can take over south, same thing with China taking over the weaker nations, Nigeria can take over Niger republic and so on.

The world is already a shitty place, do we make it more shitter.

Logical reasoningsoning is not so hard.

DaddyFabooluz:


After insulting me in my post, someone else has brought up same point more clearly and you are now here trying to hard to oppose everybody that does not flow with your point.
The thing is that you still have refused to get the main point.

What is the "main point" here?

It was until 2019 Ukraine decided to join NATO, 2014 Russia with no justification annexed cremia, 2015/2016 covertly began funding the separatist states and you say Putin full invasion of Ukraine is not pre meditated?.

The West didn't come to Ukraine, Ukraine came to the west, for fear of what is happening now and you say a sovereign state do not have the right to seek protection for them self's. Please don't forget Russia have many NATO members who they share very close boarders with, have NATO invaded Russia?. It's stupid to think NATO and US will wake up one day and decide to attack Russia because they have bases close to Russian boarders.

I understand no leader wants to have an enemy at it's door step but it's that enough reason for Putin to invade a sovereign state with no justification?. Please understand Ukraine is only trying to protect itself from the tyranny of Putin.

Your hate for US, shouldn't make you biased.

wpadmin:
The United States used media and hype to enable this war then they are claiming that they cannot attack because Ukraine is not a NATO state.

Ukraine is not a NATO state but you sent weapons to neighbouring countries ready to attack Russia, the war started and you chickened out.

I go still talk am oo.... USA no get levels for where Russia, China and North Korea dey.

These ones don't care of the consequences..

Besides, USA wan dey form saint, we know what they did to Syria, Cuba, Libya etc...

Just shut the fxck up.... pikin way no Sabi anything.

MrGistGuy:


I hope you know what putin is fighting for....

Please what is he fighting for?

heyhey2016:

seankafor:

Nothing sweet old grannies than seeing their grand kids..

Stop showing us those fake smiles, I guess they ain't happy you re an evening newspaper

Nawa oh....na your problem be that?.

Genevieve herself na grandma. Her pikin don born pikin

PetroDolla2020:
yes, you got a point. Music is business. But trust me, if you carry on with that line of argument, don't be surprised if your artistes get kicked out of Ghana soon huh?

whether you think the Ghanaians have a point or not, you better listen to them because they will ultimately get what they want. Yes, the people of Ghana will always get what they want because it is their country and they determine what goes on their territory.and you can'rt fault that.

so is it not better to find a way to make everybody happy, instead of carrying on as if they don's have a point?

LOl.... Naija artists can't and will never be kicked out of Ghana market because even for your promoters, IT'S BUSINESS

You have just 2 Ghanian artist on Ghana top 20 chart, how do you think your music industry will fare, when you kick Nigerian music/artists from Ghana

Y'all should live with your reality.

PetroDolla2020:
To be brutally honest with you, I don't even know what the fuss is all about. Ghanaian musicians are still very popular and they are making good money. shata wale lives like a king here in Ghana.

The point is that if nigerians artistes come to Ghana and there are no deliberate attempts to promote Ghanaian artites in Nigeria, then the relationship cannot continue. I won''t be surprised if all these nigerian artites are not invited to Ghana in the future. In ghana, the people get what they want. and if the consensus is that nigerian musicians are not needed in Ghana because Ghanaian musicians are also not getting that opportunity, then that is it. chikena. nothing spoil, abi?

Y'all still don't get it

Ghana top 20 chart, has just 2 Ghanian artist there, everything is dominated by naija artists

Ghanian music promoters pay naija artists to come perform in Ghana is not for charity, they are business men and it's evident they can stack their money on naija artists to cash out on their country men, than put that money on their fellow Ghanian artists.

Y'all are quick to forget

Sakz, VIP, R2bees, that one corner guy, stoneboy, etc enjoyed great airtime in Nigeria, I listened to kidia bisa a lot but can't anymore because he doesn't have the content anymore.

Let your artists step up their game and see if Nigerians won't jump in to invest and promote them

Entertainment is business and not a charity show

Please NL needs to have a section, where children can go and tell themselves stories.

Lala, please note this.

Havilaah1:

Seriously it baffles me how he's forgetting other good qualities i have cos of this issue.
This same people I'm not yet closed I've sent gifts and cash on birthdays. I don't know how to pretend, i know some girls will pretend in situations like this and go back to their old ways once married.

Please, this a mistake you shouldn't make, trying to quantify your cash gifts to ur prospective in-laws.

I honestly understand your view, being that, I'm a strong introvert myself but equally I understand ur bf view as well. What he is asking to give, he has already given to your family and not that his family dislike you, they only want a close bond with their future sister in-law.

Please, come out of your shell and bond with them, have a discussion with ur bf and let him know, you will do better and speak with the sisters and address their concerns, let them know this is who you are and it does not mean you love them less, you are a work in progress and you will do ur part to build that family they want with you (communicate).

It's obvious your bf loves you much and you love him too, so make it work. I had only be concerned, if he is asking you to bond with his family and not doing so with your family. Remember, family is the foundation of every successful marriage.
