Company
Ramani
Financial infrastructure for Africa's supply chains
We build a mobile app for salespeople who work at retail distribution and wholesaling companies across Africa. It helps them track inventory, register customers, and record sales transactions. Our product digitizes and organizes supply chain data on the ground in real time, replacing pen and paper and spreadsheets used by sales reps in informal retail.
We live in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, and Ramani is based here. We will keep the company headquartered here after YC.
Dar es Salaam is where supply chain distribution happens in Tanzania and where we have direct access to our customers. We want to stay close to the market we serve and the real problems salespeople face there.
