Relay
About Relay

Built to end the WhatsApp scroll for fulfillment centers.

One app where merchants create orders, FC teams assign riders, and everyone tracks delivery in real time. No more group chats. No more buried messages.

One app. Every order. Zero WhatsApp.

Our story

It starts in a WhatsApp group. You know the one.

Every fulfillment center in Nigeria runs the same way. Merchants drop orders in a group. Staff forward addresses to riders. Customers call asking “where's my order?” — which makes the merchant call the FC, which makes the FC call the rider. Three calls for one delivery. Twenty unread messages by the time you've handled the first.

Orders get buried. Stock counts drift. Shipping fees get debated. Riders miss pickups because the address is two screens up.

We've been on both sides of it. As a merchant calling our fulfillment center for the tenth time today. As an operator scrolling a group of 200 messages trying to find one order.

So we built Relay — the app we wanted to use ourselves. Same workflow you already know. Just nothing buried, nothing missed, and nobody calling to ask.

Who's behind it
BoldswitchBoldswitchrelay

Same team. Same instinct.

Relay comes from the team behind Boldswitch — the Nigerian fintech making digital payments without limits, from FacePay to all-in-one business accounts. The same instinct, pointed at logistics: take something people already do every day, and make it just work.

What we believe

A few things we won't budge on.

01

The enemy is WhatsApp, not other operators.

We're trying to retire group chats as an order management tool. Not take anyone's customers. The Nigerian e-commerce pie is plenty big.

02

Free for everyone who isn't an FC.

Merchants don't pay. Riders don't pay. They never have to. The cost stays with the operator running the center — and only when an order gets delivered.

03

Built for the Nigerian reality.

Flaky networks. Okada deliveries. Addresses that are just landmarks. POD and same-day remittance. We design for how the work actually happens here.

04

Software should sound like a person.

No "seamless integrations." No "robust platforms." Just the app, in plain words, and what it does for you today.

05

Ship fast. Listen faster.

Most of what's in Relay came from operators telling us what they actually needed. If something's missing or broken, tell us. We usually fix it the same week.

06

Connected, not complicated.

We don't replace your FC, your riders, or your merchants. We connect them. Relay is the glue between the people who were already doing the work.
