MartXpress

MartXpress was born from the vision of redefining eCommerce in South Africa and beyond by offering a fast, reliable, and diverse digital marketplace for buyers and sellers. Founded and Incorporated under the Shingose Group, MartXpress benefits from the strong foundation, vision, and innovation that drive all Shingose subsidiaries. Through a strategic partnership with Shingose Technologies, MartXpress leverages advanced digital infrastructure, software development expertise, and secure transaction systems to deliver a seamless marketplace experience. This collaboration ensures that every interaction ,  from product listing to order fulfillment — is smooth, reliable, and customer-focused.

Origin

With the growing trend of online shopping and the need for more inclusive digital marketplaces, the idea for MartXpress emerged as a solution tailored for African markets. Recognizing that many small businesses and individual vendors were left out of mainstream platforms due to cost, complexity, or lack of exposure, MartXpress was conceptualized to empower local vendors, promote economic inclusivity, and streamline the shopping experience for everyday consumers.

The name “MartXpress” reflects our promise: a marketplace (Mart) where you can shop fast and live more,  (Xpress) — with speed, ease, and satisfaction.
