In South Africa, the challenges of persistent load-shedding have left many people searching for creative solutions to stay connected and powered up. Adoozy Power, a leading provider of power banks for rental, has found a unique way to address this issue. They’ve joined forces with Uber Eats to bring you power banks on demand through Uber Direct, a white-label last-mile delivery service.
A Solution for Staying Connected
As load-shedding continues to interrupt our daily lives, the need for power to charge our devices, including smartphones, laptops, and tablets, becomes even more critical. Adoozy Power’s innovative solution, known as “Adoozy Collect,” enables South Africans to conveniently rent power banks for their devices, and it’s as easy as ordering a meal through Uber Eats.
How It Works
Here’s how the Adoozy Power and Uber Direct partnership works:
- Place an Order: Using the “Adoozy Collect” in-app feature, anyone in need of a power boost can place an order through the app. This includes not only charging your smartphone but also other accessories like AirPods.
- Swift Delivery: An Uber Direct driver will swing into action, ensuring your power bank reaches you within just 30–40 minutes, bringing power right to your doorstep.
- Easy Returns: When you’re done using the power bank, request a pickup through the app, and a driver will come to collect it, making the entire process incredibly convenient.
Adoozy Power has been offering power bank rentals in South Africa since 2020, and they’ve expanded their services to meet the changing needs of their customers. You no longer have to find a specific location to pick up or drop off power banks. The “power stations” listed on the Adoozy Power mobile app will automatically top up the power bank, ensuring you always receive a fully charged device.
