Why we built it

I lived this problem for years before I built the answer to it.

We were busy and blind at the same time. Selling more than ever, and still without a clear picture of the business.

I moved back to Nigeria and helped run my family's drinks business. It wasn't just one depot. We had different branches across Lagos and in Ota, and we were moving a lot of stock.

When COVID hit, business became even busier. Sales increased, but so did the problems behind the scenes. Money was coming in quickly, but there was no proper way to see what each branch was doing, how much profit we were actually making, where the empties were, or where money was being lost.

The notebooks could record transactions. They could never give us the visibility or the control we needed.

I lived with this problem for years, and that experience is what led to Krate. It is the solution I wish we had back then.

Bisola Ojomo, Director
What that means for you

Built from the trade, not for a pitch deck.

01

Empties are treated as money

Because they are. Most general accounting software has no idea what a crate deposit is.

02

Credit is normal, not an edge case

The trade runs on credit. Statements, limits and reminders are core, not an add-on.

03

Priced in naira, for Nigeria

Built for depots in Lagos, Ota and beyond, not a foreign product with a currency toggle.
