Business management software for Nigerian businesses
VERA is the single source of truth for your sales, stock, services, production, staff and money — across every branch you run. One system, one set of numbers, and it keeps working when the network does not.

The problem
Not through one big theft. Through a hundred small gaps that nobody can point at, because no two records agree and nobody can prove what should have been there.
Stock is short at the end of the month. Was it sold, damaged, taken, or never delivered? Without a movement for every unit, the answer is a guess and the argument repeats next month.
Every movement is written to a ledger you can reconcile item by item.
You buy in cartons, store in packs and sell in pieces. The moment those three are counted as if they were the same thing, every stock figure in the business is wrong — quietly.
Packaging is defined once per item, and every screen converts with it.
You are standing in one shop and have no idea what the other one sold this morning, what it is out of, or whether the transfer you sent last week ever arrived.
Every branch reports into one account, with transfers tracked end to end.
The morning staff say the stock was right when they left. The afternoon staff say it was not. Nobody wrote down the counts, so the loss is absorbed and nobody is accountable.
A handover sheet snapshots stock at shift change and shows the difference.
A customer leaves a car, a garment, a sample. Between booking and collection the job lives in somebody's head — what stage it is at, who is working on it, which parts it has already eaten, and whether any of it has been paid for.
Jobs are tracked from booking to collection, with parts drawn from the same stock.
Power goes, the router dies, the data runs out. A system that needs the internet to ring up a sale is a system that sends customers to the shop next door.
Sales continue offline and sync when the connection returns.
Short-dated stock sits behind the long-dated stock until somebody at the counter reads the label out loud. By then it is a refund and a reputation.
Stock is held in dated batches and issued oldest-first by default.
Why most stock figures are wrong
This is the single most common reason a shop cannot trust its own stock report — and it is invisible until somebody counts the shelf by hand.
Complete Control. Complete Clarity.
Every branch, every sale, every job, every naira of stock — in one place, and in numbers you can stand behind.
What it does
Everything below is one product with one database. Nothing here is a separate subscription or a bolt-on.
Keyboard or touch, tuned to how the branch actually trades. Holds, returns, discounts, VAT, multiple payment methods, and a receipt that prints to the counter or a shared printer.
Dated batches, expiry tracking, oldest-issued-first, stocktaking with gain and loss recorded as real movements, and a ledger you can reconcile line by line.
Record what you ordered, what arrived and what it cost. Supplier balances, part payments, and a cost price that follows the batch rather than an average nobody can explain.
Customer and supplier accounts, credit sales, part payments and refunds — each one booked both sides, so a statement always reconciles to the ledger behind it.
Each branch keeps its own stock, prices and staff, and reports into one owner view. Transfers between branches are tracked from dispatch to receipt.
A stock snapshot at shift change, per unit and per batch, with the difference between the two shifts calculated rather than argued about.
Sales by branch, by staff, by item and by day. Stock valuation, slow movers, expiring stock, outstanding credit, and the gap between expected and counted stock.
You decide which staff can discount, edit a price, void a sale, change stock or see a report. Roles are built per business, not forced into somebody else's template.
The till keeps working with no internet. Sales queue on the device, sync when the connection returns, and the app tells you plainly what is still waiting to go up.
For businesses that sell work rather than goods. A job is booked, assigned to a technician, tracked through each stage to collection, and any parts it consumes come off the same stock as the counter. Screens use your trade's own vocabulary.
Define a process once — what goes in, what comes out, and the tolerance you accept. Each run consumes its raw materials and creates finished stock on the same ledger, so the yield you expected and the yield you got are one comparison, not two systems.
Design your own receipts, invoices and reports rather than accepting a fixed layout. Assign a different template per branch or per document, and print to a counter roll printer or a shared Windows printer elsewhere in the shop.
Points earned and redeemed against rules you set, with a ledger behind every balance, so a customer's points can always be explained rather than argued about.
If we host you, a full copy of your database is taken every day and held by us — you do nothing. For a shop running VERA on its own PC, scheduled local backup and one-step restore arrive in the next release.
Most questions are answered the same working day over WhatsApp or a remote session. When something genuinely needs a person in the room — setting up a new branch, moving you off an old system — we come to you.
See it working
Dense where a shop owner wants detail, plain where a cashier needs to move. The same screens adapt from a phone to a widescreen till.
Who uses VERA
VERA is configured per branch, so a business running a pharmacy counter and a supermarket does not need two systems.
Ogun State. Frozen stock held in dated batches and sold in cartons and kilogrammes from the same holding, with wastage written to the ledger as a real movement rather than quietly disappearing from the count.
Edo State. Dated batches issued oldest-first with expiry visible at the counter, controlled discounting, and credit accounts for regular customers.
Kano State. Production runs that consume raw material and create finished goods on one ledger, so expected yield and actual yield sit side by side instead of in two different books.
Edo State, across several branches. Copper, brass, aluminium and batteries bought and sold by the kilogramme, with each branch holding its own stock and transfers between them recorded as real movements — so the yard's weight and the books agree at the end of the day.
In development
These are being built now against real operators rather than announced and left. If either is your business, talking to us early shapes what ships.
Units and tenancies, rent and service charges raised on a schedule, payments matched against what is owed, and arrears visible per unit rather than per spreadsheet tab.
Vehicles and owners, job cards from check-in to collection, parts drawn from the same stock ledger as the counter, and labour billed alongside them on one invoice.
Cloud or in-shop
VERA runs two ways, and a branch can move between them without changing how anybody works.
Nothing to install beyond the app. We run the server, the backups and the updates.
A server on your own counter. Tills on the shop network talk to it directly, so the internet is for reporting, not for trading.
