## The Problem
**African hardware retailers operate on paper and trust.**
A typical shop in Kigali, Nairobi, or Lagos runs on:
- Handwritten ledgers for sales and credit
- WhatsApp messages for order tracking
- Memory-based inventory management
- No digital record of customer debt
This leads to stock shrinkage, uncollected debts (30–50% of revenue), no credit history, and an inability to access working capital from financial institutions.
**CURUZA solves this** by providing a complete digital operations platform — inventory, POS, credit tracking, and professional document generation — with a clear upgrade path to fintech services.
