Egypt discusses a digital platform for its Kary On goods project
Egypt’s supply minister met with Advances Telecom to discuss a digital platform for the national Kary On project.
The proposed platform would help people find available consumer goods and daily necessities.
Kary On is a national scheme to make consumer products available, and the platform is intended to connect suppliers, retail outlets and customers.
That connection could reduce the steps between suppliers and shoppers and help goods reach people more quickly and regularly.
The platform is expected to be introduced in stages across several governorates, depending on local needs and readiness.
It is also meant to track product availability and provide information to improve how the system operates.
