Case Studies

There’s a small boutique in Arusha that just shipped orders to Dar es Salaam, Dodoma, and Kampala – all before breakfast. An electronics shop in Mwanza processed 47 transactions yesterday while the owner was on vacation. A fashion designer in Dar es Salaam woke up to notifications of sales made while she slept.

In today’s digital-first Tanzania, that’s not just a missed opportunity. It’s money walking straight into someone else’s pocket. Your business’s first impression isn’t made at your office anymore. It’s made online, in those critical 3 seconds when someone decides whether you look trustworthy enough to contact. And right now, thousands of Tanzanian businesses are losing customers simply because they’re invisible or unprofessional online. But here’s the good news: fixing this doesn’t have to be complicated, expensive, or overwhelming.
