“We are pleased with our participation in this edition of Food Africa 2021, where we will announce the launch of multiple new services in the Egyptian market, including the ‘Mandoobi’ application in cooperation with BI Technologies. This new application will mechanize the operations of demand between merchants and fastmoving consumer goods companies, as it allows the merchant to order products in the required quantities and determine the appropriate delivery date,” Hossam Ezz, CEO of Fawry FMCG, said. 

The second service that FMCG will unveil during the exhibition activities, according to Hossam Ezz, is a ‘digital lending’ service to finance purchases from FMCG companies. This service will enable merchants to boost working capital and give alternatives to cash payments through a variety of financial products tailored to the merchant’s specific needs. It will also look at a variety of digital payment methods and how they integrate with sales automation and management systems, allowing businesses to improve their sales, collection, and finance systems’ efficiency.
