The kind of inventory that shows up when the lights don't.
Iwange is an offline-first inventory and point-of-sale built in Kigali for the way Rwandan shops actually run — busy counters, intermittent internet, debts that need a memory, and stock that needs honest numbers. Already live in six shops.

Most shops keep their books in their head.
Five things every Rwandan shopkeeper has lived through, and exactly what Iwange does about each of them. Written from the counter, not from a brochure.
“The power cuts and the day's sales notebook page is gone.”
Iwange keeps running offline. Sales, stock and debts continue at the counter; they sync the moment the line returns.
“Cashiers count items and prices in their heads. Mistakes cost money.”
Quick Sell is one tap per item, one tap to charge. Built for a busy counter, not a desk.
“You think the shop is profitable, but you can't say which products are.”
Per-product and per-category margins, by day, week and month. Real numbers, not gut feel.
“Customers owe money and nobody has the same number written down.”
Amadeni tracks every credit sale by client, with a ledger and a follow-up date the whole team can see.
“Low stock is something you find out from a frustrated customer.”
Alerts fire before you sell the last one. Re-order in two taps with last-buyer pricing already filled in.
Five things that keep shops paying every month.
Not features-for-features. Five concrete reasons an owner clicks renew when the bill arrives.
It keeps working when nothing else does.
Power outages and bad internet don’t stop the shop. Iwange writes every sale, purchase and debt straight to the device first, then syncs cleanly the moment connection returns. No lost data, no double counting.
A counter built for speed, not training.
Tap an item, type the quantity, take the money. A new cashier can run the till on their first day. Receipts print or send via WhatsApp — your call.
See exactly which products make you money.
Revenue, cost of goods, gross profit and net profit — broken down by product, category, day or month. Find the silent winners. Kill the dead stock.
| Item | Revenue | Profit | Margin |
|---|---|---|---|
| Isukari · 1kg | 210,000 | 44,100 | 21% |
| Ifu y'ibigori · 2kg | 186,000 | 50,220 | 27% |
| Isabuni | 72,000 | 23,040 | 32% |
| Amavuta · 500ml | 98,000 | 18,620 | 19% |
Stop arguing with customers about credit.
Every credit sale is logged against a client, with a balance, a due date and a clean payment history. No more two-different-numbers in two-different-notebooks.

Honest answers, before you sign up.
We dropped the boilerplate. These are the questions an owner has asked us by WhatsApp in the last week.
Call or WhatsApp us at +250 798 734 900, or email [email protected]. Our team does a quick onboarding call, sets up your account, and gives you login credentials — usually the same day. You get a 14-day free trial with full access.
Software for the shop, shaped by the shop.
Iwange is not a generic POS translated into Kinyarwanda. It is built counter-up for the shops we live next to — kiosks, wholesalers, hardware stores, pharmacies — and refined every week against the way they actually run.

- 01 —
Counter first.
If a feature slows the cashier, it doesn't ship. The desk version comes second.
- 02 —
Honest numbers.
Margins are calculated, not estimated. We never round in your favour.
- 03 —
Owner-shaped reports.
Every report answers a question an owner already asks out loud at closing time.
- 04 —
Quiet by default.
Notifications only when something needs you. The app should disappear, not chatter.
Iwange is built in Kigali by a small product team. We do not list names on a marketing page — we list shops on a roadmap.
