Bolt Business, the corporate mobility solution from Bolt, has reported double-digit growth in Nigeria over the past year
The company said in a statement that it underscores increasing demand from firms seeking smarter, more efficient ways to manage employee transportation and business travel.
Over the past 12 months, growth was driven by expanding adoption across multiple industries, a rise in demand from small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), and an increasing number of organisations seeking alternatives to managing in-house transport fleets.
“Businesses today are looking beyond transportation, they’re looking for smarter ways to optimise operations and manage costs,” said Isaac Iroko, country manager, Bolt for Business Nigeria.
“We've seen organisations across different sectors embrace Bolt Business because it gives them a simple, reliable and transparent way to manage employee travel, whether it's daily commutes, client meetings or business trips. This growth demonstrates that corporate mobility is becoming an increasingly important part of business efficiency in Nigeria.”
Bolt Business serves organisations across a range of industries, including financial services, technology, healthcare, professional services, manufacturing, logistics, media, real estate and fast-growing consumer businesses.
Its client portfolio includes the likes of First Bank, Access Bank, PricewaterhouseCoopers, Boston Consulting Group, Interswitch, Glovo and Pfizer Specialties.
Others clients include Chowdeck, Premium Times Centre for Investigative Journalism, News Central, IWOSAN Lagoon Hospitals, Avon Healthcare, UAC Foods, MRS, China Harbour Engineering Company Nigeria, CAPPA & D'Alberto and ValueJet.
In its statement, Bolt Business said its recent growth reflects a broader shift in how Nigerian businesses approach corporate mobility.
Rather than maintaining expensive vehicle fleets or relying on fragmented transport arrangements, more organisations are adopting digital mobility platforms that offer greater transparency, control and operational efficiency.
Unlike traditional fleet management, Bolt Business enables companies to centralise transportation through a single platform, providing features such as centralised billing, trip reporting, spending controls and real-time visibility into employee travel.
These capabilities help businesses improve oversight while reducing the administrative burden associated with corporate transportation.
The company intends to strengthen relationships with existing customers by introducing solutions tailored to industries with frequent employee mobility needs, including healthcare, financial services, legal services and logistics.
“Nigeria's business landscape is evolving rapidly, and organisations are under increasing pressure to operate more efficiently,” Isaac added.
“We see a significant opportunity to help businesses replace inefficient transport processes with smarter mobility solutions that improve visibility, simplify expense management and support business growth. Our focus remains on building products that create value for organisations of every size while delivering a seamless experience for their employees.”
