By bringing together FMCGs, wholesalers, and merchants, Capiter introduces a new concept to the Egyptian retail market through one platform with three different applications.

With cutting-edge technology and machine-learning algorithms, Capiter aims to digitalize Egypt’s conventional commerce to enhance the efficiency of the whole supply chain by delivering a fast, high-quality, and user-friendly service.

“We were driven by an ambitious vision to serve a broad segment of the Egyptian market, which is the FMCG as one of Egypt’s most important sectors responsible for creating more jobs in the local market,”

“This has helped us create hundreds of job opportunities for youth across different sectors. At Capiter, we are always keen to support Egypt’s labor market by bringing the best talents from across the globe while giving the chance for young talents and fresh graduates. We aim to capitalize on the enormous growth the e-commerce sector has achieved as Egypt takes steady strides towards digital transformation across all fields,”

Capiter currently provides its services in Cairo and Giza with aspiring plans to expand geographically in Egypt and cover additional cities and governorates in addition to increasing the number of items offered through the platform to more than 30,000 products by 2023.

“Since we launched our operations last year, we have successfully expanded our customer network through numerous partnerships with various companies and government entities allowing us to serve thousands of merchants and complete millions of transactions,”

“This achievement can be mainly attributed to our unique platform that offers fast, high-quality, and user-friendly services at the best prices for all elements of the supply chain through a well-trained team of more than 800 employees,”

said Ahmed Nouh, Chief Operating Officer at Capiter.

Capiter strives to provide promotional services for all items on display by highlighting the top-selling products to give consumers insights into the quality of products they are purchasing.
