But the good thing is that weve built a solid management and leadership team with experience from well-capitalized logistics and e-commerce startups, he added.Rendas revenue model revolves around five key drivers: storage, fulfillment, vehicle booking, deliveries and cash collection. He also said the startup plans to use AI to automate its processes like helping partners save logistics costs and optimize routes.The idea for Renda came about when Onaboye noticed the inventory and delivery challenges a friend faced when starting a business selling items from her house.
