What Dellyman does

Dellyman is a Nigerian last-mile logistics technology company operating an asset-light marketplace that aggregates third-party logistics providers onto a single platform. Founded in 2019 and headquartered in Lagos under the legal entity Dellyman Nigeria Ltd., the company connects customers needing package delivery with vetted logistics companies and their riders/drivers via web, iOS, and Android interfaces. The platform addresses same-day delivery challenges in Nigeria including under-capacity of logistics assets, security concerns, and timeliness, using geofencing-based carrier matching, real-time package tracking, secure delivery code verification, and an escrow payment system to protect transactions.

The platform supports multiple vehicle categories ranging from bicycles (10kg max) to vans/buses (1,000kg), enabling both last-mile urban and interstate deliveries across Nigerian states. A RESTful API (v3.0) allows enterprise partners to programmatically create orders, retrieve quotes, track shipments, and receive webhook-based event notifications. Dellyman monetizes via transaction fees on deliveries and offers API services to business partners requiring recurring integration; the customer-facing mobile apps and web portal are free to use. The company reports operational metrics of 364,095 cumulative deliveries, 11,497 registered customers, 303 partner logistics companies, 1,375 assets, and 3,395 affiliates.

The company maintains compliance posture under the Nigeria Data Protection Act (NDPA) 2023 and the General Application and Implementation Directive (GAID) 2025. Its most significant commercial milestone to date is a December 2025 partnership with Temu to support the e-commerce company's last-mile delivery operations in Nigeria, following a pilot with 1,300+ deliveries at a 95% success rate. Dellyman's stated vision is to lead African logistics through technology adoption, though no external funding, revenue figures, or management team details are publicly disclosed.
