BMT: Business Management Made Easy

A Tech Guide for Nigerian and African Entrepreneurs

Most large corporations have a plethora of business management softwares to choose from. But solo entrepreneurs, proprietors and small business owners in Nigeria and across Africa, face numerous challenges in managing their operations efficiently. From inventory management to finance, customer relationships, and beyond, there's a growing need for a comprehensive solution that can streamline these complex processes seamlessly.

Nigerian and African entrepreneurs are seeking for avenues through which their business management processes can be made, not necessarily easy, but easier in some respects. Why? Because even though software solutions provide intricate management resources to the modern day African entrepreneur, it has not found ways to circumnavigate some challenges of doing business on the continent. Mostly due to the relatively low level of digitisation when compared to developed countries.

The digitisation of business processes has been, and still is, a slow process amongst SMEs on the continent of Africa, but utilising technology in businesses is becoming unavoidable for the current and next generation of entrepreneurs. The pain point of software pricing for small businesses cannot be overstated, especially in the sink or swim economic climate of Nigeria. Most "free" business software lack the proper functionalities needed to drive growth in Nigerian and African businesses.

This is where BMT, the leading ERP software, steps in to empower Nigerian and African entrepreneurs with its robust features and tailored solutions.
