Automation of business records
For $9 monthly per business, CETAFI supports the owners to understand their business performance using a simple business management system Sun Details that enables the daily tracking of revenues and expenses real-time. This has helped to minimize traditional paper-based bookkeeping which is susceptible to losses & damages. Through tracking of their business performance, the business owners are empowered to make informed business decisions hence improving their business management.
This system can be accessed on... a mobile phone which makes it convenient for business owners on the go; for example, when they are purchasing new items away from their business premises, using the revenue and expense reports, the entrepreneur will in an instance know whether their business is profit / loss making or at breakeven.
