Southern Africa’s unique urban and rural infrastructure demand for innovative delivery methods

Security estates are unable to accept parcels for residents, universities are inadequately equipped to accept deliveries for students, employees of big corporates are not permitted to receive parcels at the office, some customers are struggling to provide a delivery address. Post offices have inconvenient opening hours. Recognising this need, Pargo was born.


Click & Collect

The Pargo Click & Collect delivery option integrates with your check out page and is fully managed by Pargo. Click & Collect optimises “first time delivery rates”.

Online stores are able to tap into a segment of customers who are unable to shop online due to the lack of delivery options.

Click & collect also reduces the cost of courier deliveries through consolidation. Finally, Click & Collect increases your customer’s options and improves repeat sales.

It’s not surprising that 37% of online shoppers use Click & Collect if available during check out. Due to increased convenience of pickup point delivery, Click & Collect customers shop 3 times more frequently compared to those who choose home delivery.
