Chari
Un guichet unique pour les commerces de proximité

Chari is a B2B mobile e-commerce platform targeting small retailers in francophone Africa, allowing them to order a wide range of FMCG products and receive free delivery within hours. The platform also offers integrated financial services such as payments and micro-insurance, enabled by a payment institution license from the Central Bank of Morocco. It serves as a direct digital distribution and communication channel between suppliers and neighborhood retailers.
Retailers use the Chari mobile app to browse products, place orders, and receive free same-day delivery, while also accessing embedded financial services.
