The Story: From Problem to Solution
The Challenge They Faced
Spaza shop owners were losing money due to poor stock management—expired goods, theft, and no profit tracking. We built a USSD and WhatsApp-based system where owners can check stock levels, record sales, and get low-stock alerts using any phone. No smartphone or internet required.
But the real problem was deeper:
- Processes relied on paper and manual data entry
- No visibility into operations when away from the office
- Load shedding and connectivity issues disrupted workflow
How We Solved It
Mobile-First Design
Works offline and syncs when connectivity returns—perfect for load shedding.
Real-Time Dashboard
Instant visibility from anywhere: web, mobile, or tablet.
Life After Our Solution
Since implementing our system:
- Average profit increase of 35% for 50+ shops — This is what it meant for their bottom line.
- Operational costs reduced by 40% through automation.
- 100% data accuracy—no more manual entry errors.
