 Boifiok, a fast-rising player in Africa’s agri-tech and e-commerce space, has announced bold plans to revolutionize the continent’s food supply chain by leveraging digital group buying solutions.

By Bryan Hamman, Regional Director: Africa at NETSCOUT

 As enterprises across Africa continue to adopt Unified Communications as a Service (UCaaS) and Software as a Service (SaaS) solutions to support their geographically dispersed operations, the complexity of maintaining these critical tools at remote site locations has escalated.
