Questions, answered

Everything you need to know before you start.

No. okuBala works entirely inside WhatsApp, which you already have. Just message it like you would a friend.
okuBala currently supports Luganda, Swahili, and English, including mixed messages. Speak or type however feels natural and it will record correctly.
Send a message, voice note, or photo of a receipt. For example: 'Sold 3 bags cement @ 90k'. okuBala confirms it instantly.
Free for 7 days. After that, just UGX 350 per day paid via Mobile Money (top up 7 days at a time or more). Pay only for the days you use it.
Tell okuBala when you add items to your stock, like 'Added 50 bags cement'. After every sale it automatically deducts the quantity and alerts you when something is running low.
Any small retail or wholesale business: duukas, hardware shops, drink depots, salons, boutiques, produce traders. If you sell things and want clean books, okuBala fits, including shops that buy in cartons or trays and sell in single pieces.
Your records are private to your shop. Only you can see them, and they are protected under national and international data protection laws.

Your duuka deserves better than an exercise book.

Let okuBala Ai keep your books. Free for 7 days, then just UGX 350/day, paid via Mobile Money.
