And Abuja. And Port Harcourt. And Kano. And every corner of Nigeria where someone runs a shop and deserves better tools.
Walk into any market in Lagos — Balogun, Computer Village, Trade Fair — and you'll see the same thing: shop owners tracking sales in exercise books, calculating profit in their heads, and wondering where their money went at the end of the day.
These aren't small businesses by choice. They're hardworking people running operations that turn over millions of Naira. But they're using tools from 1990 to run a 2026 business. And the "modern" POS solutions? They're either too expensive, too complicated, or they don't work when NEPA takes light.
"Oja" means "market" in Yoruba. And that's exactly who we built this for — the market. The mama who sells provisions at her shop front. The guy running three phone accessory stores across different markets. The restaurant owner who needs to track daily plate sales.
We asked a simple question: What if every Nigerian shop owner had access to the same quality business tools as a big supermarket — but on their phone, for free, and without needing internet?
That question became Oja POS.
We didn't build Oja in a vacuum. We built it for the reality of Nigerian retail:
Power is unreliable. So Oja works 100% offline. No internet? No light? No problem. Your business doesn't stop.
Data is expensive. So Oja is lightweight. It barely uses any data, and all core features work without a connection.
Naira is king. So everything in Oja is Naira-first. Prices, reports, payroll — all in ₦. No dollar conversions, no confusion.
WhatsApp is everywhere. So we built WhatsApp receipts, WhatsApp credit reminders, and WhatsApp low-stock alerts right into the app. Because that's where Nigerian businesses communicate.
Make every Nigerian shop profitable with simple technology.
That's it. Not fancy technology. Not complicated technology. Simple technology. The kind that a shop owner can set up in 2 minutes, teach their staff in 5, and rely on every single day. Technology that respects your time, your money, and your hustle.
These aren't just words. They're how we make every decision.
We'd rather do 10 things perfectly than 100 things badly. Every feature in Oja earns its place by being useful, not just impressive.
In Nigeria, offline isn't an edge case — it's the default. We build for offline first, online second. Always.
Our free plan isn't a trial. It's a real, complete POS system. We make money when your business grows enough to need more — and that's how it should be.
We will never sell your business data. Period. Your sales, your customers, your prices — they belong to you, not to advertisers.
Not "localized" from somewhere else. Built from scratch for how Nigerians actually do business — Naira, WhatsApp, and all.
Nigerian shop owners work incredibly hard. The least we can do is give them tools that work just as hard — reliable, fast, and always available.
