January 2026: Salesflo announced a partnership with Unilever Ethiopia and Smollan to digitize retail engagement in Ethiopia, advancing a shared focus on stronger execution, improved visibility, and measurable last-mile impact.

In many CPG and FMCG markets, growth is increasingly decided in the last mile, where execution consistency, speed of response, and outlet-level visibility directly influence availability, promotion outcomes, and the quality of retail engagement. This collaboration reflects a joint commitment to building a more connected, digitally enabled retail ecosystem in Ethiopia.

“Digitizing retail engagement is ultimately about raising execution standards and improving visibility so teams can act faster and more consistently in-market. Together with Unilever Ethiopia and Smollan, we are focused on enabling an operating rhythm that supports better on-ground execution and stronger last-mile impact.”
