Our Story
SmartSell was born from a simple observation: African businesses needed technology that understood their unique challenges. While global solutions existed, they often failed to account for unreliable internet connections, diverse payment methods, and the multilingual nature of African markets.
Founded in 2019 by a team of African entrepreneurs and technologists, we set out to build something different. Not just another business management platform, but one designed from the ground up for the African context.
Over 5 years later, SmartSell has proven its value by processing over 1 million sales and helping businesses sell more than 3 million items across Africa. Our offline-first approach means business never stops, regardless of connectivity challenges.
