The story

The Courier Guy is one of South Africa's largest private courier networks, operating domestic parcel delivery, PUDO lockers, and international shipping. Its embedded-tech footprint is logistics infrastructure (ShipLogic API, WooCommerce/Shopify/NetSuite/Zoho plugins) rather than embedded finance — the company does not appear to operate banking, lending, card, or payroll products of its own.
