## Problems We Solve

- **The Queue Stalls Over Small, Quick Sales** — A convenience store lives on speed — a soda, a loaf, some airtime, in and out in seconds. But a slow till, prices keyed in by hand, and change counted out of a drawer turn a five-second sale into a queue, and customers in a hurry simply put it down and grab it next door instead.
- **Hundreds of Fast-Moving Lines, Always Something Out** — Bread, milk, eggs, snacks, soft drinks — the lines that bring people in are exactly the ones that run out fastest. Counting hundreds of small SKUs by hand is impossible, so bestsellers vanish from the shelf unnoticed while slow stock sits, and you lose both the quick sale and the whole trip.

## How EliteTeQ Solves It

- High-speed barcode scanning, one-tap buttons for top sellers, and instant Bank Transfer, card, and cash with change worked out for you keep the line moving. *Quick sales stay quick, the queue clears, and customers stop drifting next door.*
- Real-time stock deducts on every sale with low-stock alerts on your fast movers and dead-stock flags on the lines that just sit. *Bread, milk, and your other bestsellers stay on the shelf, and you stop tying up cash in stock that does not move.*

## Running a Business in Onitsha

Onitsha sits in Anambra State and is one of West Africa's largest market and distribution centres.

Onitsha is a distribution city first and a retail city second: goods arrive, are broken into smaller lots and move on across the southeast and beyond. That makes wholesale pricing tiers, fast repeat-customer lookup and accurate supplier and credit tracking the core requirements, rather than table service or loyalty features. Trade volumes are high and margins thin, so stock accuracy and shrinkage control have a direct effect on whether a stall or shop is profitable. Bank transfer is the default for larger lots, with cash still normal at the counter.

The main market sets prices for a wide swathe of the southeast, and goods arrive in bulk before being broken down and moved on within days. Trading starts early and volume is relentless. The binding constraint is stock accuracy at thin margins — a small percentage lost to shrinkage or mis-pricing is the difference between a profitable month and a flat one.

## From the EliteTeQ Team

**We have done the cash-up that would not balance too.** The queue that stalls over a soda and some airtime, the bread that ran out before lunch, the shift change where the cash never quite adds up. EliteTeQ was not built in a boardroom — it was built next to shopkeepers in Nairobi, where the hours are long, the trade is cash, and you cannot stand behind the counter for every shift.
