Background

Small and medium-scale businesses in Nigeria struggle with fragmented operations:

• Sales are tracked manually

• Inventory levels are often guessed

• Invoices are created outside accounting workflows

• Cash flow visibility is poor

• Existing enterprise tools are expensive, over-engineered, or foreign-centric

Ebizan was conceived to solve these problems with a local-first, AI-driven approach, tailored to how Nigerian SMEs actually operate.

The Challenge

Nigerian SMEs needed:

• A single system to manage sales, inventory, invoices, and purchases

• Automation that works without Stripe, Paystack, or complex payment setups

• Real-time visibility into cash flow and stock levels

• A platform simple enough for non-technical business owners

Most competitors either:

• Focused only on accounting

• Required external payment gateways

• Were too complex or priced for large enterprises

The Solution

InventiveLabs designed and built Ebizan as an end-to-end Sales-to-Cash and Inventory-to-Purchase platform, powered by AI.

Key features include:

• Unified Operations Dashboard – Sales, invoices, inventory, and purchases in one place

• AI-Driven Insights – Smart alerts for low stock, overdue invoices, and cash flow risks

• Invoice & Sales Automation – Generate, track, and reconcile invoices without manual follow-ups

• Inventory Intelligence – Know what to reorder, when, and in what quantity

• Local-First Design – Built around Nigerian SME workflows, not foreign enterprise assumptions

The platform eliminates operational chaos while keeping onboarding friction extremely low.

Technology & Approach

• Modular, scalable SaaS architecture

• AI-assisted decision logic embedded directly into workflows
