Zulzi is not only a delivery platform — it is also a technology partner to major retailers. The company built and maintains the Checkers Sixty60 platform, including its ordering system, dashboards, and catalogue engine.
This achievement demonstrates Zulzi’s world-class software development capabilities, proving that its solutions can scale to serve millions of customers across South Africa.
From humble beginnings, Zulzi has grown into a nationwide delivery powerhouse:
5,000+ orders processed daily through its advanced systems.
Dark stores (mini warehouses) located in key areas to reduce delivery times.
Average delivery time of 17 minutes in high-demand regions.
Sustains 80% year-on-year growth with a dedicated network of over 300 drivers.
This growth reflects Zulzi’s ability to compete with retail giants while staying agile and customer focused.
Zulzi has attracted significant investor confidence:
In 2017, secured R2 million from IDF Capital to fuel early expansion.
In 2020, raised R30 million from a JSE-listed company, just before the COVID-19 lockdown — enabling Zulzi to scale operations and meet the surge in demand during the pandemic.
These milestones highlight Zulzi’s reputation as a high-growth startup with strong market potential.
Zulzi continues to push the boundaries of innovation:
Integrated what3words into its app, enabling precision deliveries to exact 3m x 3m squares — especially useful in informal settlements and rural areas.
Among the first South African apps to offer real-time order tracking, item substitutions, and contactless payments.
These innovations show Zulzi’s commitment to customer convenience, safety, and reliability.
Through these awards and recognitions, Zulzi has positioned itself as:
A trusted innovator in South African e-commerce.
A technology leader powering both its own platform and others like Checkers Sixty60.
A fast-scaling startup with strong funding and market validation.
A customer-first service that combines speed, affordability, and convenience.
