For Dar es Salaam suppliers
Dar makes it. Zanzibar buys it. We connect the two.
Nearly every Dar-based building-material business gets Zanzibar enquiries — and nearly all of them lose half to slow quotes, crossing confusion and absent follow-up.
In short
Dar es Salaam suppliers convert occasional Zanzibar orders into systematic island business: marketplace listings, local representation, and coordinated crossing-to-site delivery for contractors, developers and hotel buyers.
Partnership professionalises the corridor: your goods listed with landed pricing, a local team that quotes and chases, and delivery coordination that makes your Dar operation feel like a Zanzibar branch.
Landed-price listings
Quotes that already include crossing and delivery win against ex-Dar prices that surprise buyers later.
Same-week presence
Representation means your brand is at Zanzibar meetings and sites while competitors email from Dar.
Corridor rhythm
Regular consolidation runs turn sporadic lifts into dependable supply your buyers plan around.

Direct answers
I'm already in Zanzibar/Tanzania — why join?
For digital visibility in the marketplace buyers search, routed project and product RFQs, representation support on bigger opportunities, and — where relevant — planned physical display and launch participation.
Does joining affect my existing customers?
No. Your direct business stays yours. The programme adds marketplace presence and routed opportunities on top; routed-buyer contact details stay protected until opportunities are real.
How are mainland-to-island deliveries handled?
Zanzibaba coordinates mainland consolidation and last-mile delivery to Zanzibar sites per agreement — one of the main reasons mainland suppliers join.
What does verification involve for local companies?
Business registration check, reachable decision-maker, and product/category fit confirmation. Verified suppliers get the listings, RFQ routing and brand-page gating.
How fast can goods move Dar to site?
Timings depend on cargo type and route; onboarding establishes your corridor rhythm and quotations carry realistic, trackable delivery commitments.
