Introduction
Treepz, Africa’s top shared-mobility startup, is getting ready to launch Business Treepz. Treepz makes it easy for businesses and people to rent or lease a top-notch bus for their operations. The service pledges to uphold the same high standards in its use of technology to improve commuting for its users.
In order to provide staff bus solutions and bus rental services in a structured, accessible, and predictable manner for corporate organizations like enterprises, schools, tour operators, and people, Treepz, Africa’s top shared-mobility startup, is getting ready to launch Business.
On September 16, 2022, Treepz announced the beginning of this new service in Nigeria, Ghana, and Uganda to mark the company’s third anniversary.
Business Treepz makes it easy for businesses and people to rent or lease a top-notch bus for their operations, institutions, or events. The service pledges to uphold the same high standards for which Treepz is renowned in its use of technology to improve commuting for its users.
By offering businesses fleet management solutions supported by data and technology, this service will also aid enterprises in improving the administration of their business operations. These organizations will subsequently increase the effectiveness of their own services while saving time and money.
Parents can now monitor their children’s commutes to and from school, assuring their safety at all times. Tour operators can now order a bus through Business Treepz and have peace of mind while they’re on holiday without worrying about getting their guests around the city or between cities.
Speaking on the launch of the new service, the Chief Executive Officer & Co-Founder of Treepz, Onyeka Akumah, said, “We are excited about launching Business Treepz today because following up on the feedback from our customers, we can better fulfil the requirements of organisations looking to benefit from our high-quality transportation service that also allows the use of technology through our app or websites in Africa.
We are focused on growing our partnerships with businesses and schools to make sure more Africans can move comfortably and safely to wherever they have to go, driven by our technology and data.”
With the help of Business Treepz, consumers may hire a bus that is customized to their needs with just one click online, saving time and money by avoiding the need to use multiple rental platforms or pay high prices.
The service will provide users with access to all available bus alternatives while keeping their comfort and convenience in mind. Users have a range of vehicles to pick from, making it easy for them to take a bus to move around town.
Top companies, startups, and tour operators have so far partnered with Business Treepz, including Reddington Schools, Wakanow, and Tek Experts, all in Nigeria. Charter House, the company that organizes Miss Malaika, and MTN in Ghana have also benefited from its services.
Treepz has also provided transportation services at the Nyege Nyege Music Festival, the largest musical event in East Africa, with close to 20,000 attendees.
Business Treepz, which has been in a pilot phase for the last three months, presently transports 2,000 students each day in schools while also providing for over 1,500 employees of businesses, much like a staff bus solution but with data.
As a result, the company is enthusiastic about the possibility of dramatically expanding its clientele now that it has completed its full launch.
Regarding Treepz’s most recent successes, the business defeated over 7,000 other businesses to win the Industrial Tech firm of the year category at the Global Startup Awards in Africa.

Additionally, it has performed over 2 million client journeys across East and West Africa with over 150,000 registered riders and over 2,000 heroes. In order to expand its operations, Treepz has received funding from reputable venture capital firms like Google, Techstars, SOSV, LoftyInc, and many others. Treepz is quickly becoming the top shared mobility platform on the African continent.
On the 3rd anniversary celebration, Onyeka said, “We continue to focus on how we build a world-class company that Africans will be proud of its accomplishments in the making transportation better on the continent. To this end, I celebrate my team, co-founders, key stakeholders, partners, riders, heroes/drivers and everyone who has supported our growth to where we are today. It’s still day one for us and we go back to the drawing board daily to figure out how we do this incredible work of making transportation better for Africans one country at a time.”
In the future, Treepz will concentrate on growing its three primary markets while looking for partners in additional African nations, particularly in Southern and Northern Africa.
In order to reduce CO2 emissions, the company continues to make sure it is at the forefront of sustainable mobility solutions powered by gas and electric vehicles, and there will be more in this area in the upcoming years.
Treepz Partners with CMS T&M To Digitise Transportation For 1,200,000 Customers Annually
With its most recent collaboration with CMS Taxi and Motor Nigeria Limited (CMS T&M) in Lagos, Treepz has made progress toward achieving its goal of giving commuters easy access to economic and practical modes of transportation in African cities.
The CMS T&M management will be able to manage operations effectively and digitise their ticketing systems to provide transparency for the bus operator due to the technology provided by Treepz.
Passengers on CMS T&M will benefit from a more practical payment method and reliable travel schedules thanks to the cooperation.
With high-capacity buses and minivans, CMS T&M is a 53-year-old licensed shuttle bus company that operates in the Marina, Lagos Island, Victoria Island, Ikoyi, and Lekki regions of Lagos State.
With more than 1,200,000 passengers each year, CMS T&M offers comfortable cars that make it easier for workers, students, and traders to get to work each day inside the city.
With our technology currently being used across Africa, Treepz as a firm has continued to expand its influence in revolutionizing the transportation industry.
The company, which has operations in Ghana, Uganda, and Nigeria, launched the Transportation Operator System to give bus parks and bus operators the technology they need to digitise their services while expanding their clientele and managing their revenue.

Treepz Lists Secret to Its Success
In March 2022, Treepz Inc. announced that one million completed bookings had been made throughout the three nations where it is currently active. Currently, Nigeria, Ghana, and Uganda are where Treepz is active.
“This milestone achievement has largely been driven by our intra-continent expansion, great business decisions, and the efforts of the team,” Chief Executive Officer Onyeka Akumah said.
The bookings cover all three of the company’s primary services: Daily Treepz, Travel Treepz, and Corporate Treepz. The service, known as Daily Treepz, connects passengers with the heroes (drivers) who commute daily within cities.
Travel Treepz is a commercial service that enables users to browse, compare, and instantly reserve bus tickets on the website. This service was created to make it simple for commuters to move between cities.
The method utilized to coordinate everyday people’s transportation for corporations is called Corporate Treepz. Employees, students, or anybody else who needs transportation for a private or official purpose could fall under this category.
“It would also not have been possible without the dedicated service of our heroes, partners and the loyalty of our esteemed riders,” Akumah said.
“We are very excited about the tremendous growth and progress we have made in the past 3 months, with our weekly rides increasing at a rapid rate.”
The business said that, in addition to accomplishing other significant goals before the year is over, it has already begun planning an expansion into five more African nations.
Conclusion
This new expansion strategy by Treepz will no doubt increase their reach and boost their audience especially in countries where they are relatively unknown. It is a good strategy, and we hope they continue expanding from there.
