If it doesn't help the merchant make or keep money, we don't ship it.
Merchant-first
Built in Lagos, for Africa.
Klovo is the AI employee that runs your business for you. It answers your customers, takes the order, confirms the money, and arranges delivery, so you can sit back.
About: Built in Lagos, for Africa.
The problem
Nigerian commerce runs on rails that were never built. There is no clean checkout, no logistics API, no delivery network to plug into. Riders are reached by phone. Buyers pay by transfer and send screenshots. Sellers answer hundreds of chats a day and still ask 'have you paid?'. Software built for the West assumes all of this already works. It doesn't.
Our mission
Give every seller an AI employee that becomes the missing infrastructure. It answers the customer because you can't be in the chat all day. It confirms the payment because there is no clean checkout. It arranges the rider because there is no logistics API. Klovo doesn't hand you more software to operate. It runs the operation.

Why now
Why now
Nigerian merchants already sell on WhatsApp, Instagram, and Facebook. What's been missing is someone to run the operation: answer every message, close every order, confirm every payment, keep every delivery moving. AI can finally do that work reliably, day and night, for a price a small merchant can actually afford. That's the moment Klovo was built for.
We're hiring
