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.
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.
