Andy Higgins, founder of e-commerce solutions company Bob Group, knows more about e-commerce in South Africa than most people. Higgins founded Bidorbuy (now Bob Shop) at the height of the dot-com boom in the late 1990s, and over the past 25 years has actively participated in the industry as it has mushroomed from those nascent beginnings. In this episode of the TechCentral Show (TCS), Higgins has a look back at the growth of the industry, and what's likely to propel its future expansion. In the show, Higgins unpacks: • How Bob Group has done since it was created nearly two years ago through the merger of Bidorbuy and uAfrica, and what the future holds for the business; • What is driving the rapid growth in South Africa's e-commerce industry – did Covid lockdowns give it the spark for its current rapid expansion, or is there more at play?; • The rise of on-demand deliveries in South Africa and what it means for online retailers; • The rise of Chinese competitors – how much of a threat are Shein and Temu really, and is the South African Revenue Service right to crack down?; • The Competition Commission's intervention in the market and whether it is warranted; • Whether Amazon's South African launch was a flop; and • What trends to look out for as the market develops further in the coming years.

Amazon is set to launch its online shopping service in South Africa this year. The tech giant announced in October last year that it would provide independent sellers throughout the country the opportunity to launch, grow, and scale their businesses. In anticipation of Amazon's arrival, Naspers has boosted investment into Takealot, the home-grown e-commerce leader in South Africa and said they were well-positioned to deal with whatever could be coming from Amazon. In an interview with Biznews, e-commerce entrepreneur Andy Higgins, who started Bidorbuy and is now the Managing Director of the Bob Group, said while many people believe Amazon will have a massive impact on day one, he thinks it would take them longer. The challenges for Amazon, he said, would be the localisation of the software they use globally, infrastructure, and logistics. Higgins said the South African market has different nuances and Amazon will have to find ways to adapt which, “will be a bit of a challenge.” Ultimately, he said the consumer will be the winner if there is price competition. In terms of growth potential for e-commerce, Higgins said South Africa lags the rest of the world and even its emerging market counterparts. Penetration is still under 5% of total retail sales compared to Brazil, India, and Southeast Asian countries where e-commerce penetration is already over 10%. Amazon's entry into the South African e-commerce market is absolutely not going to be a slam dunk for Amazon; “they have not been successful in every country,” he said.

Andy Higgins is the founder of bidorbuy. In this episode, we look back to the company's first near-death experience back in 2000 when the dot com bubble burst. Andy's story is a tech rollercoaster spanning two decades, 40 investors, a billion dollar pseudo-valuations, fast hiring and a slow but steady internet bubble bursting. The tech decline that Andy found himself in the middle of came with retrenchments, personal turmoil, a study break and a slow march towards profitability thanks to Google gaining traction and South Africa emerging from the Internet Dark Ages of the Internet when people were paying per minute to be online. ---SUBSCRIBE TO IT'S NOT OVER:Apple: https://apple.co/37gY2I6Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3E4wUbmGoogle: https://bit.ly/3KBQgqGWebsite: https://nicharalambous.com/its-not-overNewsletter: https://nicharalambous.com/newsletter---Find Andy and BoB online: https://www.bob.co.zahttps://www.linkedin.com/in/andyhigginsza/https://twitter.com/andyhza

Andy Higgins is a pioneer in e-commerce in South Africa – just don't call him a “veteran”, he says, because the industry is still just getting started and he plans to be a part of its development for years to come. In this interview on TechCentral's new technology show, TC|Daily, Higgins joins Duncan McLeod in the studio to talk about his latest venture, called Bob Group, which is an amalgamation of two businesses he either founded or c-founded, Bidorbuy and uAfrica. Higgins, who started Bidorbuy in 1999 at the height of the dot-com bubble, has many interesting stories to tell – about venture capital excesses, global expansion and the inevitable pain that followed the dot-com collapse – and he shares some of these tales in this show. Now Higgins and his team are launching a new venture, which he hopes will make it easier for small and medium businesses to sell their products online in South Africa. It's going to put Bob Group on a collision course with well-funded rivals like Takealot – and possibly Amazon from next year – but Higgins says he's ready for it. Bob Group will offer a full suite of e-commerce services to South African businesses, including an online marketplace, inventory management, order fulfilment, a shipping tool, online payments and courier software as a service. It “offers everything e-commerce to all South African consumers and companies operating online, whether they are looking to sell, buy – or both”. “The merger means that merchants will now be offered a complete set of e-commerce services, including payments, logistics and a marketplace,” Higgins said earlier this week about the launch of Bob Group. In this episode of TC|Daily, he unpacks more details about Bob Group, and gives his views on what the (still not officially confirmed) launch of Amazon in South Africa early next year will mean for the local e-commerce landscape.

Paul Evans chats with Andy Higgins, former Rip Curl International Events Director about the competition many believe to be the greatest tour event ever held, the 2006 Rip Curl Search WCT 'Somewhere in Mexico'. Andy Irons won the event in perfect grinding righthand sand point surf at a venue only referred to in the media as 'La Jolla'. As for the surf, Slater gushed, “This place is better than the Gold Coast and better than Jeffrey's”. Higgo travelled to Mexico on a scouting mission in 2005, surfed the place for a week and was happy to report back at Rip Curl HQ that the venue was, in fact, very much good enough for the Championship Tour. Following the event, word inevitably got out as to the exact location, now known as Barra de la Cruz. Get the inside scoop on how the project came together, what the event was like to experience on the ground at the time, and the legacy of the Search CT events.
