For us as a business that deals in delivering products to customers, the biggest challenge is finding the exact location of the customer but I think with the introduction of the digital addressing system, so far, a couple of people have used it and it works and at least, we are able to find the locations and deliver.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat government can do beyond the introduction of the digital address system for us is to push a lot more for its usage because as a business I can\u2019t get people to use the address system. If government can get a lot more people to use by explaining how it works because I think people don\u2019t understand how it works, if government can sensitize them, it will really be a game changer for us\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><!-- uploaded by: 39 updated by: 39 --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Start of html generated by this->footer() -->\n<\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a style=\"display:none\" rel=\"follow\" href=\"http:\/\/megatheme.ir\/\" title=\"\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633\">\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Business News of Tuesday, 27 February 2018 Source: classfmonline.com 2018-02-27 GhanaPost GPS is a national database system that provides digital address for every landed property Marketing Manager of Jumia Travel, Joseph Owusu Badu, has called on government to strengthen Ghana\u2019s digital addressing system to facilitate online trade activities to promote E-Commerce.
