In 2023, Klandoo launched a mobility platform allowing users to book professional drivers. Using geolocation technology, the app connects users with nearby taxi drivers.
For partner drivers, the app provides access to a wide customer base. They operate independently, keeping 80% of their earnings while Klandoo takes a 20% commission. The startup also prioritizes safety, conducting regular vehicle inspections. In case of an accident or assault, both drivers and passengers are covered through partner hospitals.
“Drivers are available 24/7. However, for any trips—business, tourism, shopping, conferences, congresses, airport transfers, private parties, weddings, or events—it is important to book a day or even a year in advance,” explains the Cameroonian entrepreneur.
In addition to his role at Klandoo, Serge Itjo works as a project manager at Air Liquide, a company specializing in gases, technologies, and services for industry and healthcare. He holds an engineering degree in international trade, earned in 2002 from École Supérieure de Commerce International (ESCI) in France.
