Inventory Management Software Built for Nigerian Businesses
Stop guessing what's in your shop. MyTreda tracks every product, every sale, and every naira — even when there's no network.
Why Nigerian Traders Lose Money Without Proper Inventory Management
Inventory management is knowing exactly what you have, what you sold, and what you made — at any point in time. Without it, you're running your business blindfolded.
In Nigeria, the problem is worse because most traders track stock in exercise books, on loose papers, or from memory. These systems fail in predictable ways: books get wet in the rain, pages fall out, records get lost. And when your records go, your money goes with them.
But the biggest cost isn't lost records — it's the money you don't know you're losing. Shrinkage. Forgotten debts. Products that run out and lose you sales. Restocking things you already have. These “small” losses add up to thousands every month.
The Most Common Inventory Problems for Nigerian SMEs
Problem: You restock the same thing twice because you forgot you already had it.
MyTreda fix: MyTreda shows your exact stock level for every product, updated after every sale.
Problem: Your sales boy tells you "nothing sell today" — but your stock keeps going down.
MyTreda fix: Every sale is recorded with a time stamp. You see exactly who sold what, and when.
Problem: You don't know if you're making profit or just turning over money.
MyTreda fix: MyTreda calculates your profit automatically — you see your real margin, not just revenue.
Problem: Customers owe you money but you've lost track of who and how much.
MyTreda fix: Debt tracking is built in. Every credit sale goes in, and reminders go out via WhatsApp.
No Network? No Wahala.
MyTreda works fully offline. Record sales, check stock, track debts — all without internet. When NEPA takes light and your network goes with it, your business records stay safe. Everything syncs automatically when you reconnect.

Yes. The Starter plan covers up to 100 products. If you have more, the Pro plan (coming soon) supports unlimited products.
What happens to my data if there's no light (NEPA)?+
MyTreda works offline, so you keep recording sales even during power cuts. Once your phone charges and gets network, everything syncs.
