Kwhik by Appfliq Technologies aims to revolutionize the taxi service in Swaziland, addressing inefficiencies from outdated technology and expensive medallions by offering a fast, on-demand car service using a mobile app for 1-click hailing. The service targets urban areas, enhances user experience with luxury vehicles, automated dispatch, and safety through vetted drivers, and anticipates significant growth in the African market. Kwhik plans to expand into neighboring countries and diversify into other on-demand services, capitalizing on a growing e600 million annual market.
