The cost of fragmented buying
Multiple suppliers mean mismatched delivery, paperwork gaps and programme risk — especially for diaspora owners and busy QS teams.
Desk + infrastructure
Zanzibaba coordinates; Al Hilal provides godowns, bricks/blocks/paint factories, trucks, showrooms and offices at Maruhubi, Mlandege and Paje.
When the network extends beyond
Specialist imports, mainland mills or extra hauliers are still one thread — your BOQ and WhatsApp desk.
Frequently asked questions
Is Zanzibaba a shop or a coordinator?
A procurement desk under Zanzibaba Group — supply through Al Hilal partner infrastructure and island partners.
