Operations Manager at Ship Logic, Stephan Naudé, emphasised the strategic significance of this partnership, “The future for Bob Group is to incorporate all of our services with RCS through Infobip and use the full spectrum of their services. That is part of our growth plan, and Infobip will be part of our technology journey.”This collaboration between Infobip and Bob Group sets a precedent for future technological advancements in the South African ecommerce sector.
