Retailer App for African Brands

The order you miss is the one placed on a Tuesday

Retailers are the last and most influential touchpoint in the buying journey, and the hardest to hold. After speaking with more than 300 retail brands, we found the same pattern: retailers are acquired once and then quietly go dormant.

Between visits, a shopkeeper who needs stock does not wait. They buy from the wholesaler down the road, or from whichever competitor's rep is standing there. Coverage measured in visits per month hides how much of the month you are simply absent.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does a retailer app cut out our distributors?

No, and it is built so it cannot. Orders route to the distributor who serves that outlet, at their prices and their credit terms. The distributor keeps the trade and gains demand they previously only heard about by phone.

Can the retailer app take orders over WhatsApp?

Yes. Most shopkeepers already run the business on WhatsApp, so ordering meets them there. The app carrying the catalogue, schemes, balances and order history behind it.

What about shops on cheap phones and small data bundles?

The app is built light and works on a weak connection, holding the action on the device and syncing when signal returns. Nobody pays in data or in lost orders for a bad afternoon.

Will retailers use it, or does it become another dead login?

Adoption follows value, not a mandate. What brings a shopkeeper back is their own prices, the schemes they qualify for, what they owe, and where the last order is.

Can the retailer app integrate with our SFA and ERP?

Yes. The Retailer App runs on the same platform as your SFA and DMS and syncs with your ERP. Orders, pricing and credit stay consistent wherever they come from.
