Unveiling the Journey:

From our early days, colis.ma has been on a mission to revolutionize the logistics industry in Morocco and beyond. Recognizing the need for strategic partnerships and support networks, we made the decision to join The Baobab Network, a decision that has proven to be pivotal in our growth and success.

The decision to launch Colis.ma was driven by a deep-rooted passion for transforming the logistics industry and addressing the pain points experienced by individuals and businesses in shipping their goods. The founder, Issam Darui, drew inspiration from his years of experience in the transportation sector, witnessing firsthand the inefficiencies and complexities that plagued traditional logistics processes. This motivated him to create a platform that would revolutionize the way packages and shipments are handled, offering a seamless and streamlined experience for customers.
Of course, no entrepreneurial journey comes without its challenges. In the early stages, Colis.ma faced hurdles such as building a robust and scalable technology infrastructure, establishing trust and credibility among customers and partners, and navigating the complexities of the logistics landscape. However, through determination, perseverance, and a strong belief in the vision, the team overcame these obstacles, continuously iterating and improving to create a truly innovative logistics solution.

The Start of Colis.ma:
The story of how Colis.ma came to be is an inspiring tale of determination and industry expertise. It all started with the founder, Issam Darui, who has had a lifelong involvement in the transportation sector. From a young age, Issam worked as a driver assistant, gaining invaluable experience and insights into the logistics industry. After launching his first business, Lagare.ma, in 2014, and later founding Instaweb.ma, Issam recognized the need for a comprehensive logistics platform that could revolutionize the way packages and shipments were handled in Morocco and beyond.
With a deep understanding of the challenges faced by individuals and businesses in the transportation and logistics sector, Issam embarked on a mission to create Colis.ma. The vision was to provide a seamless and efficient platform that would connect customers with reliable logistics services. After extensive market research and development, Colis.ma was launched in 2022, offering a user-friendly interface and a range of innovative features to streamline the shipping process.
Since its inception, Colis.ma has experienced remarkable growth and success, attracting a loyal customer base and forging strategic partnerships. The company's commitment to delivering exceptional service and its deep industry knowledge have set it apart in the market, making it a trusted and go-to platform for logistics solutions.

Memorable Moments from the Accelerator Program:
One particularly memorable moment during the accelerator program was when the Founder faced some personal challenges. However, what stood out during this time was the unwavering support and genuine care shown by the entire Baobab Network team.
Rather than solely focusing on the business aspects, The Baobab Network demonstrated their unique human touch and understanding of the personal challenges that entrepreneurs may face. They went above and beyond to provide Issam with the necessary support, not just as a business founder but as an individual. This heartfelt support left a lasting impact on Issam, reinforcing the belief that The Baobab Network truly cares about the holistic well-being and success of its founders.
This memorable experience highlighted the exceptional nature of The Baobab Network and their commitment to supporting founders on an individual level. It is through their genuine care, personalized guidance, and empathetic approach that the accelerator program goes beyond business mentorship, fostering a supportive community that understands and uplifts its entrepreneurs through both the highs and lows of their journey.
