Over the years, SMEs have had the difficulty of accounting for the operational expense, this as resulted in poor cashflow. SMEs at different times identified the need to use to get financial software packages, but the cost of these software from foreign developers are very expensive.
We decided to develop a software (The Business Manager for Entrepreneurs) that is in compliance with the Nigeria Business. environment to help SMEs manage their entire business process, from Financial, Human Resources, Inventory and Real-time Sales process.
The software generates automated reports to cover Income, Expenditure, statement of Account, Daily, Week, Monthly and Yearly reports simultaneously.
The software help create and enterprise culture within a small business environment.
Public Procure:
An Act establishing the National Council on Public Procurement and the Bureau of Public procurement as the Regulatory Authority responsible for the monitoring and oversight of . Public Procurement, harmonising it to be in compliance of standards and Legal framework in Nigeria.
We have studied this Act and have automated it, came out with the an application called Public-Procure Toolkit. The entire Procurement process can now be carried out on a computer that is connected to the internet. A scenario where the approving officer is not on sit or in the country, the application can be accessed online to ensure the process is not hindered.
This application is currently in use in Rivers State, other states and Government agencies are in talks with us for it.
