Pezesha and Gilani’s Distributors partner to provide inventory financing to over 30,000+ merchants

Pezesha is thrilled to announce our partnership with Gilani’s Distributors,  a leading FMCG distribution powerhouse with an extensive footprint across 45+ counties in Kenya. Gilani’s has a rich legacy as a top notch one stop shop for consumer goods at competitive prices, fostering strong partnerships, and empowering local economies.  

On any major highway or secluded backroad across the country, you're bound to see a Gilani's truck making deliveries. Their extensive reach ensures that they serve every corner of the nation, bringing essential goods to both bustling cities and remote villages.

Pezesha and Gilani’s have partnered to provide affordable inventory credit to Gilani’s merchants in a seamless, faster way by a click of a button through a simple SMS app

.

The seamless access to inventory credit will ensure a steady cash flow for Gilani’s merchants, allowing them to ensure just in time inventory based on demands from their end customers. It's a win- win across the value chain. Pezesha does not stop at the credit offering, we provide financial education and working capital across the entire Gilani’s value chain.

According to a recent study of the micro-retail space, the biggest challenges faced by micro retailers are access to capital and supply chain barriers, which significantly hamper their business growth. Moreover, operating independently and purchasing low-volume inventory prevents them from qualifying for volume-based supplier discounts. The Pezesha inventory credit facility with affordable interest rates will streamline their business operations, ensuring business continuity and sustainable growth.

Pezesha and Gilani’s are working towards a win-win long term partnership that sees the credit offering scale beyond retailers but also the entire value chain of Gilani’s will benefit including their 150+  top brands that they work with

.

On the other hand, Pezesha has been a leading embedded finance platform fully integrated and partnered with more than 20+ value chain players including but not limited to Safaricom, Victory Farms and Kyosk among others.

“Gilanis isn’t just a name. It’s a 52 year legacy built on trust and shared values. We don’t just strive to provide goods and essential services at affordable prices, we also seek to enrich the lives of communities whom we serve.” From Gilani’s
