Furthermore, the number of monthly users has more than doubled in the last few months. The fast growing startup wants now to move forward by launching one mobile app per website to allow its users to access the classifieds platforms on the go. "We know that the majority of our community uses smartphones, and mostly Android phones to use our services, we thus answered to their needs" says the CEO of AfriCar Group. The apps have exactly the same features of the websites, however they are more user friendly from smartphones and they make navigation easier. From now on, people will be able to buy or sell their cars, motorbikes and trucks using their phones. The service offered is still 100% free of charges for both buyers and sellers. This well-thought move represents a crucial point in AfriCar Group long term strategy which aims to expand its business to new countries. With its study "The Mobile Economy - Africa 2016", GSMA Intelligence identified that more and more African people are having access to the Internet through smartphones. According to them, there will be 725 million unique subscribers to mobile services by 2020. Therefore, by strengthening its positions on smartphones, AfriCar Group clearly states its will to succeed on the long run. The company (www.africargroup.com) based in Australia, has a strategic team of five people in Sydney and more than fifty operators covering the 12 following countries: Burkina Faso > CarSugu, Benin > CarIsowo, Ethiopia > www.cargebeya.com, Malawi > CarYanga, Mali > Mobili, Namibia > CarYange, Rwanda > CarIsoko, Somalia > Gaadhi, Swaziland > CarTsenga, Tchad > CarSuq, Uganda > CarKibanda, Zambia > CarYandi.
