Who buys a on-demand delivery app in Côte d'Ivoire

Example: on-demand delivery app for a mobile money business in Abidjan
Consider a mobile money company in Abidjan (fintech, banks and port logistics). A typical on-demand delivery app engagement would start with driver app, then dispatch engine, and finish the first release with admin panel — usually within 12–18 weeks.
Payments would run through Wave, data would be handled under Law No. 2013-450 on personal data, and success would be measured on authorisation rate, cost per transaction and payout time.
Example: on-demand delivery app for a cocoa business in Yamoussoukro
Consider a cocoa company in Yamoussoukro (government and education). A typical on-demand delivery app engagement would start with payments, then customer app, and finish the first release with merchant app — usually within 12–18 weeks.
Payments would run through Orange Money, data would be handled under Law No. 2013-450 on personal data, and success would be measured on traceable volume, farmer payment time and post-harvest loss.
