Standard Bank is excited to announce that Tripplo, a Founders Factory Africa venture, has been named by Fast Company South Africa as the country’s most innovative company for 2021. The business, which is only in its third year of existence, went up against well-known brands that were also nominated and made it to the list of top 25 most innovative for 2021.
In recognition of the challenges facing the logistics sector, Standard Bank and FFA provided the support necessary to develop the Tripplo concept into a business. Now, Tripplo provides a digital logistics platform that facilitates the movement of road freight cargo across the South African Development Community by optimising and automating operations for small transporters.
When South Africa entered a nationwide lockdown in March last year to contain the Covid-19, Tripplo’s operations were reduced to the bare minimum. “The business was forced to pivot during this time, and Standard Bank collaborated with Tripplo to provide expertise and knowledge by enabling access to key stakeholders internally. Further, several product integrations were secured across Standard Bank which are now offered through the Tripplo platform.
