Overview

Why organisations choose SmartCart

Most people only find out what a shopping trip cost when they reach the cashier. SmartCart changes that. Users build dated shopping lists from a shared product catalogue with price history, see the estimated total and how it compares with their budget, then tick items into the cart in Shopping Mode while recording the real shelf prices.

After each trip SmartCart compares estimated and actual spend item by item, and the Insights screen shows monthly trends, spending by category and the products you buy most. Everything works offline on Android and syncs automatically when you are back online.

SmartCart is available as a consumer app and can be licensed by supermarkets, SACCOs, institutions and procurement teams as a white-label budgeting tool.

Client stories

Trusted by teams like yours

“Our members finally know what a shopping trip will cost before they reach the till. SmartCart works even in stores with poor network, which made adoption easy.”

Wycliffe Odhiambo Finance Officer, a staff welfare programme SmartCart

“We used to spend two weeks shortlisting for every vacancy. With CareerConnect the CVs are ranked the day the advert closes, and our panel only interviews people who genuinely fit the role.”

Grace Wanjiku Head of Recruitment, Bora Recruitment Solution Ltd CareerConnect

“Rent reconciliation used to take my team three days every month. Now M-Pesa payments match to tenants automatically and the owner statements are ready on the first of the month.”

Stephen Wanyoike Property Manager, a residential property firm in Kilimani RentFlow

“mShop let us start selling online in weeks instead of months. Customers pay with M-Pesa, pick up at the station nearest to them, and we track every order from one dashboard.”
