Head of Purchasing (Director) at Kyosk Digital Services Limited - Lagos

Posted on Tue 29th Nov, 2022 - hotnigerianjobs.com --- (0 comments)


Kyosk Digital Services limited is a tech-led platform that connects informal retailers who retail in kiosks and other similar retail outlets directly to fast-moving consumer goods companies (FMCGs) by communicating demand from retail outlets directly to FMCGs and their distributors and managing the delivery of the goods to the kiosks.

Our digital ordering and delivery platform – Kyosk, ensures that these retail outlets get access to stock at competitive prices and have them delivered directly to them.
