Apps
Delivering efficiencies
Available on iOS and Android devices
Cowa Bunga, a cloud-based
delivery platform has been awarded
the MTN App of the Year in the
coveted Best Enterprise category
at the awards. Eligible apps in this
category are required to address
business challenges and provide
solutions for storage, relationship
management, e-commerce and smart
solutions.
One of Cowa Bunga’s most prevalent
success stories to date is partnering with franchise giant, Nando’s. Cowa Bunga has integrated to the newly launched
Nando’s South Africa online order platform and call centre.
‘The focus of the project has been to gain a deep insight to the
Nando’s home delivery network. Additionally, our platform
can create growing efficiencies within their current network
as well as apply additional best fit logistics practices,’ says
Kimberley Taylor, Co-founder. ‘Nando’s is well known not
just for its chicken but also the tongue-in-cheek humour and
creative marketing tactics.’ The white label development of
Cowa Bunga has allowed Nando’s to include this out-of-the-
box thinking to their fully customised driver tracking page.
Customers can view their driver live as an animation of a
‘blue light brigade’ following the driver to ensure its quickest
delivery time possible.
One, Two Block You
Available on iOS and Android devices
Pop-up ads and sites that track you are so incredibly
annoying, but it’s difficult blocking them all without blocking
the sites you do enjoy and want to support. The app 1BlockerX,
however, is working on that. Optimized for Safari, 1Blocker
improves your browsing experience by blocking ads, trackers
and other annoying webpage elements, such as popups,
persistent cookie consent dialogs, and invasive newsletter
signup prompts.
1Blocker makes sites load on average of 50% faster. It’s very
secure by design and it can’t track and see webpages you visit.
Over 1 million people use this app and the number is rising.
All you have to do is download the app,
Then you need to enable 1Blocker’s content blockers by
visiting the Settings app. In Safari’s settings, there’s a Content Blockers section where you can turn on 1Blocker X’s seven
blockers. Once enabled in Settings, you can turn each of
the 7 sets of rules or individual rules on and off from within
1Blocker X.
