  • Tracks every sale and customer preference in one place.
  • Oversees stock for her boutique and online store without confusion.
  • Uses payment links and escrow to receive payments securely.
  • Sends branded invoices and receipts directly from the app.

Amina doesn’t just run her business, she grows it with confidence.

Ada now runs her entire business, both in-person and online, without stress.
