LAGOS, Nigeria — Bolt Business, the corporate mobility solution of Bolt, has reported double-digit year-on-year growth in Nigeria, driven by increased demand from businesses seeking more efficient and cost-effective ways to manage employee transportation and business travel.
In a statement on Tuesday, the company said growth over the past 12 months has been supported by expanding adoption across multiple industries, rising demand from small and medium-sized enterprises and growing interest among organisations seeking alternatives to maintaining in-house transport fleets.
Bolt Business currently serves organisations in sectors including financial services, technology, healthcare, professional services, manufacturing, logistics, media, real estate and consumer businesses.
Its client portfolio includes First Bank, Access Bank, PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC), Boston Consulting Group (BCG), Interswitch, Glovo, Chowdeck, Premium Times Centre for Investigative Journalism, News Central, Pfizer Specialties, IWOSAN Lagoon Hospitals, Avon Healthcare, UAC Foods, MRS, China Harbour Engineering Company Nigeria, CAPPA & D’Alberto and ValueJet, among others.
The company said the growth reflects a broader shift in how Nigerian businesses manage corporate mobility, with more organisations moving away from costly vehicle fleets and fragmented transport arrangements toward digital platforms that offer greater transparency, control and operational efficiency.
“Businesses today are looking beyond transportation, they’re looking for smarter ways to optimise operations and manage costs,” said Isaac Iroko, country manager for Bolt for Business Nigeria.
“We’ve seen organisations across different sectors embrace Bolt Business because it gives them a simple, reliable and transparent way to manage employee travel, whether it’s daily commutes, client meetings or business trips,” Iroko said.
“This growth demonstrates that corporate mobility is becoming an increasingly important part of business efficiency in Nigeria.”
Unlike traditional fleet management systems, Bolt Business allows companies to centralise transportation through a single platform, offering features such as centralised billing, trip reporting, spending controls and real-time visibility into employee travel.
The company said the tools help businesses strengthen oversight while reducing the administrative workload associated with corporate transportation.
Bolt Business said it plans to deepen relationships with existing customers by introducing solutions tailored to industries with frequent employee mobility needs, including healthcare, financial services, legal services and logistics.
“Nigeria’s business landscape is evolving rapidly, and organisations are under increasing pressure to operate more efficiently,” Iroko said.
“We see a significant opportunity to help businesses replace inefficient transport processes with smarter mobility solutions that improve visibility, simplify expense management and support business growth.”
“Our focus remains on building products that create value for organisations of every size while delivering a seamless experience for their employees,” he added.
As Nigerian businesses continue to prioritise operational efficiency and cost optimisation, Bolt Business said it is positioned to support organisations with scalable mobility solutions designed to simplify corporate travel and improve how employees move for work.
