If you live in Nigeria, you must have come to terms with the challenges faced by business owners; poor supply of electricity, absence of capital, and inadequate infrastructure are some of the numerous threats to the survival of businesses.

The issues mentioned above are a lot to battle with. Business owners don’t want to add tedious administrative tasks, inventory hassles, settlement palaver or payment-related issues to the litany of already existing challenges.

Just because we care, we have been thinking of ways to help improve the fortunes of retailers and business owners. Just because sitting around and thinking isn’t just enough, we decided to take baby-steps; one at a time.

What have we done?

On Saturday, 8th of February 2020, we hosted the maiden edition of our Boost Your Business with Eyowo workshop series; an initiative that aims to drive financial inclusion and help businesses thrive in all facets through the use of modern tools and technology. The program started off with an opening address by Eyowo’s marketing manager, Omotara Ben-Adeola.

“The boost your business retail seminar is one of many steps we are taking to achieve our vision which is to promote and drive financial inclusion throughout Africa. We believe this is very possible,” Tomi Amao, CEO of Eyowo Integrated Payments Limited stated in his remark.

Where did this happen?

The workshop which took place at the Softcom Head Office in Lagos had retailers, journalists, and business owners in attendance. For the first edition of the workshop series scheduled to hold monthly, the theme was Driving Business Growth With Data.

The guest speaker was the Chief Customer Enterprise Architect, Oracle Ecemea, Dr. Olufemi Oyenuga.

Attendees also got to learn about some of our solutions, Eyowo Business and Eyowo Retail.

Eyowo For Business caters to the inherent problems undergone by professionals in the financial sector.

The Eyowo Retail solution takes the cumbersome nature of accounting and stock-keeping away and makes it seamless while ensuring instant settlements for retail businesses.

When is the next edition slated for?

The Boost Your Business series is a monthly affair. This means that one is slated for March 2020.

We will keep you informed once a date is set and details are confirmed for the next retail workshop.
