Built for How Africa Sells.
Since 2024, we’ve helped thousands of merchants across Africa sell smarter through mobile money. We believe the most impactful commerce tools are built at the intersection of local behavior, digital infrastructure, and the real hustle of everyday entrepreneurs.
Selling can get complicated fast—inventory, payments, delivery, customer engagement. That’s why we focus on building simple, powerful tools that work seamlessly inside the platforms people already use. Design matters too. We craft interfaces that feel familiar, fluid, and intentional—because business tools should be as beautiful and intuitive as the best consumer apps.
At the heart of Punguzo is a belief: commerce should be accessible, mobile-first, and built for how Africa actually moves.
