Expansion and Growth in Response to Market Demands
As a result of Africa’s increasing GDP, high demand among middle and upper-class across large parts of the continent has fueled an increase in the demand for accommodation facilities.
To address this pressing issue, APG has strategically expanded its operations during the last year into several new markets, including Namibia, Uganda, Tanzania, Congo, Guinea, Senegal, Benin, Burkina Faso, Ivory Coast, Cameroon, Gabon, and Mali.
APG has made strides toward innovation by transitioning from traditional online classifieds to transactional marketplaces. These marketplaces have enhanced features directed toward greater user engagement.
This transition has redefined property sales reflecting APGs innovation mission and driving its digital transformation. Furthermore, APG has adopted Software as a Service (SaaS) technology as a critical aspect of its offering and digital transformation.
These offertings aim to empower local African property businesses with online platforms that enable growth, enhance professionalism, and promote efficiency. Additionally, integrating B2C listings with B2B business management portals helps local businesses manage their inventory more efficiently while reaching a larger audience.
