Speed
Same-day delivery isn't a luxury. It's the baseline. We move fast because your customers won't wait.
Two guys, one bakkie,
and a ridiculous idea.
The story of how Breaze went from 12 deliveries a month to thousands a day.
How It Started vs. How It's Going
It started the way most great South African stories do — two guys who probably should've known better.
Avi Maja and Braden Snyman crossed paths at a software company in Joburg that built mobile workforce management tools. Avi was the tech brain, deep in code, building the platform. Braden was the mouth — out on the street, pitching clients, closing deals, and probably drinking too much coffee in the process.
Between client meetings and code sprints, they noticed something: South Africa's e-commerce market was a sleeping giant. Online shopping was exploding, but the delivery experience? Still stuck in 2005. Brands were growing fast, customers expected more, and traditional couriers were moving at the speed of — well — a government department.
They had a wild thought: what if we took everything we know about managing mobile workforces and applied it to delivery drivers? A tech-first, on-demand logistics platform purpose-built for e-commerce. No legacy systems. No excuses. Just fast, trackable, reliable delivery.
12
deliveries per month
1000
deliveries per day
So the moonlighting began. Day jobs by day. Breaze by night. Avi built the platform from scratch while Braden hustled for their first client.
They found one. One brave brand willing to bet on two guys with a dream and a very average PowerPoint.
Month one: 12 deliveries. Twelve. That's not a typo. They could've done it on foot.
But here's the thing about Avi and Braden — they're not the type to stay small. They made the leap, went full-time, and bet everything on the belief that South African e-commerce brands deserved better than what the market was giving them.
Fast forward to today: Breaze has over 150 integrated brands, delivering thousands of parcels every day across Cape Town, Johannesburg, and Pretoria. We've created over 1,000 jobs, built proprietary technology that powers every delivery, and we're just getting started.
We're not here to be another courier.
We're building the best
delivery company in the country.
We continue to invest heavily in our proprietary technology because we believe the brands powering South Africa's e-commerce boom deserve a delivery partner that actually keeps up.
Same-day delivery. Real-time WhatsApp tracking. Seamless integration. Full-stack fulfillment. These aren't features — they're the new standard. And we're the ones setting it.
From 12 deliveries a month to the fastest-growing logistics platform in the country. The only question is: where to next?
