Simple Receivable Automation & Payments for Africa’s Small Businesses

About us

We help small businesses in Africa to track customer debt, facilitate repayments & manage their cashflow. Small business owners in Africa are using pen and paper to record customer debt which is ineffective and time-consuming. They spend hours tracking, reconciling, and calling debtors, but still upto 60% of debt is paid late and as much as $2K a year lost to non-payments, significantly constraining their cashflow. This is the story of 85M+ small businesses in Africa. We are automating previously manual processes like debt repayment reminders, billing, payments and reconciliations. By using Patika, these small business owners have so far experienced +17% increase in cash flow and are now saving up to 3 Hours Daily of reconciliations.

  • Capwell Industries Limited is one of the most diversified food processing enterprises in Kenya, started its operations in 1999 with a maize milling factory in Thika, Kenya. They #manufacture high quality maize flour, pulses, rice, porridge and wheat flour using the best processes and modern technology available. Some of their most popular brands include Soko Ugali, Pearl Rice, Ranee Rice, Amaize, Yola and Treetos. Due to the large number of orders that Capwell receives per day, it became more and more challenging to process these orders manually, manual data entry of these orders meant they would have sales returns due to data entry errors, delayed dispatch during busy seasons due to limited capacity of their teams, and sometimes lead to lost sales. When they implemented Sanifu, #Orders are automatically booked into their #systems as they come in on email and other channels, #clerks can now focus on other tasks like upselling, #customer support and orders now get to Retailers and to you in extension on time. If you're a manufacturer based in East Africa & South Africa , talk to us about challenges your team is facing around order processing. DM or call us on 0712983630 ✅

  • Sales teams in manufacturing firms & distributors spend 80% of their day manually entering sales orders from Emails and WhatsApp into ERP systems. The occasional errors in manual entry result in costly sales returns and missed sales. This process is also time-consuming, which not only leads to delayed deliveries but also consumes valuable time they could spend on core functions like sales and customer support, hence impacting customer satisfaction, employee productivity, and overall revenue. We are thrilled to introduce Sanifu. 🚀 Sanifu automates the extraction and entry of order details from various channels, like Emails and WhatsApp, into ERP systems much faster and at a fraction of the cost, thereby allowing sales teams to focus on higher-value tasks like sales and customer engagement. How it works: 1. Sanifu is integrated into ordering channels like Emails and WhatsApp, enabling it to automatically pick incoming sales orders. 2. Sanifu proceeds to extract the sales order data like products, shipping addresses, etc., and matches the data to the internal ERP database 3. Sanifu creates the sales orders in the ERP.
