Bigger and better isothermal delivery bags have been introduced by Kwik Delivery for its bike delivery partners across Lagos.
Called the Kwik 2.0 bags, they are designed to carry up to 40kg of load as against the 25kg capacity of the previous bags, a statement from the company said.
The new isothermal bags are to replace the first-generation delivery bags used by Kwik Delivery bike riders since its launch in 2019. They are introduced to make deliveries much safer as well as increase the carrying capacity of bikes.
This is part of the firm’s efforts to introduce strings of new developments, from constant system upgrades to setting a new industry standard with its cutting-edge free e-commerce plugins.
The leading delivery platform noted that the new bags, apart from being bigger, are stronger and more resilient compared to regular delivery bags.
Zippers on the bag are covered with protective flaps to safeguard delivery packages against water leaks from rainfall while in transit.
More interestingly, the bags are designed to keep the temperature (hot or cold) of parcels up to 6 hours while in transit. Meanwhile, Kwik’s platform ensures parcels delivery within 2 hours of pick-up in Lagos and 1 hour in Abuja.
“With this new Kwik 2.0 bag, customers can move even more merchandises around Lagos with just-in-time effectiveness and complete peace of mind knowing, as before, that the condition of their goods is intact irrespective of the temperature or weather”, the Chief Operating Officer of Kwik Delivery, Yinka Olayanju, stated.
“Now you can send much more things with a Kwikster, be it frozen goods or a hot dish, the carrying capacity just got bigger,” Olayanju added.
Since its launch in 2019, Kwik Delivery, the trading name of Africa Delivery Technologies SAS, has firmly established itself as an enabler of digital transformation for merchants in Nigeria, creating strong value-added SaaS services critical to the deployment and growth of e-commerce.
