Hespat Tech, a Nigerian tech company headquartered in Akure, has announced the creation and launch of the Hespat Super App, a safe hi-tech and consumer-focused umbrella app to offer all its services to Ondo State residents on a single platform.
Launched last week, Hespat is set to promote a convenient lifestyle by connecting people to everyday needs while offering exceptional value-added services to boost Africa’s economy and has provided two thousand jobs to the neighbouring youths, with its new innovation becoming a ride-hailing platform.

The local company has engineered a breakthrough solution to everyday consumer needs, from ride-hailing (bike and car) to door-step delivery, with plans to expand customer service to include grocery shopping (H-Mall), H-Food as well as medical services (H-Med) for all its users on the Hespat Super App.

However, more features that allow users to order food from over 1,000 partner restaurants, order daily essentials from supermarkets, pharmacies or other businesses will be unveiled and added in the coming months.
Users can also choose a business not yet on the super app and have goods purchased and picked up by a Hespat pilot and delivered to them.
Speaking on the launch of the new initiative, the Marketing and Business Development lead, Hespat, Mr Samuel Adedeji stated that the Hespat app is available to users in Akure, Ondo State, with plans to expand to other capital cities of the states in southwestern Nigeria and parts of the South East.
