Why PUDO matters

Door delivery is not always the smartest option.

In many African markets, delivery is affected by unclear addresses, customer availability, traffic, phone delays, and COD coordination. MFT PUDO gives customers a simpler alternative: send the parcel to a trusted nearby location and let them collect when convenient.

Fewer failed deliveries

Customers collect from a known location instead of missing the rider — orders stop getting stuck in follow-up.

Lower last-mile cost

MFT batches parcels to pickup points instead of running repeated individual delivery attempts.

Easier returns

Customers drop returns at the same trusted local point — no rider coordination, no missed pickups.

Partner types

Turn trusted local businesses into pickup points.

MFT partners with businesses that are visible, trusted, easy to access, and able to hold parcels safely for customers.

Pharmacies

Trusted, accessible, and visited often by local customers.

Petrol stations

High traffic with strong visibility and longer operating hours.

Mini-marts

Convenient neighborhood points for everyday collection.

Phone shops

Ideal for e-commerce customers and digital-savvy buyers.

Beauty shops

Strong fit for fashion, beauty, and lifestyle orders.

Supermarkets

Structured locations with consistent foot traffic.

Neighborhood stores

Local shops customers already know and visit regularly.

Simple for sellers. Convenient for customers. Easy for partners.

    At checkout or confirmation, the customer selects a nearby MFT pickup point.

    MFT dispatches in batches

    Parcels are grouped and delivered to the PUDO partner location.

  3. 03

    Partner receives & records

    The partner scans, logs, and confirms receipt using the MFT process.

  4. 04

    Customer notified

For sellers

Give customers a collection option that fits their day.

Not every customer is home when the rider arrives. Not every address is easy to find. With MFT PUDO, sellers offer a collection option that is simple, predictable, and easier to manage.
