Kamal Budhabatti, Group CEO at Craft Silicon, highlights the importance of sustainability in the logistics business. He mentions that some of Sendy's customers have migrated to Little Logistics, a part of Craft Silicon's services. Little Cab, another service under Craft Silicon, is transitioning into a super app, integrating various services like payments, Little Wallet, and entertainment.

Key Challenges for E-Logistics Firms in Kenya:

1. Financial sustainability

2. Customer-centric approach

3. Regulatory and legal challenges

4. High operational costs

5. Access to funding

The closure of Sendy serves as a valuable learning opportunity for new startups to address these challenges and achieve sustainable success in the Kenyan logistics market.

Technology's Role in E-Logistics Success:

Adopting technology, including mobile apps and tracking systems, is crucial for logistics success. Little Logistics, for example, uses mobile and web apps to streamline operations, making it convenient for both customers and delivery partners.

Strategic Partnerships for Success:

Collaborations with governing bodies and industry associations can provide logistical startups with valuable resources, market access, and expertise.

Building Customer Trust and Satisfaction:

E-logistics startups can build trust and improve customer satisfaction by providing reliable services, clear communication, and adapting to the unique challenges of the Kenyan market.

Former Sendy Clients Transition:

Some former Sendy clients have turned to Little Logistics due to its market presence, reputation, and tailored services. Little's advanced technology stack has attracted customers from other platforms.

In the evolving landscape of Kenyan e-logistics, sustainability, technology adoption, strategic partnerships, and customer-centricity are key factors for success.
