Factorial, a European AI-powered workforce management platform, has partnered with Glovo Kenya for its inaugural Future of Commerce Summit. 

The summit brought together business leaders, entrepreneurs and industry innovators to discuss emerging trends and technologies shaping the future of commerce.

Factorial used the event to showcase its Factorial One AI platform, which brings together payroll, talent management, performance management and workforce analytics in a unified system designed to help businesses streamline HR operations.

“The Future of Commerce Summit is designed as a high-impact convening for decision-makers navigating an era of rapid change in retail, logistics, and digital trade,” said Caroline Mutuku, Country Managing Director, Kenya Glovo. “Over the last 4 years, the Glovo business has grown 4x, with our staff increasing from 33 to over 100 and increasingly always looking for smarter, faster, and more connected ways of managing people.”

“East Africa’s commerce sector is expanding at a pace that demands smarter, faster, and more connected ways of managing people,” said Fredrick Githendu, Partner Manager, Factorial. “Our partnership with Glovo Kenya and our presence at the Future of Commerce Summit is a direct reflection of our long-term commitment to this market. We believe that the businesses that will lead East Africa’s commercial future are the ones investing in their people today, and Factorial is here to make that investment easier, more intelligent, and more impactful.”

Factorial recently closed a $150 million Series D funding round, bringing its valuation to $2.5 billion as it expands its presence in enterprise markets.
