The problem
Small items, small margins, no room for guessing.
A provisions shop sells hundreds of items for a few hundred naira each. Lose a pack here and a carton there, and the month's profit is gone before you notice.

Provisions shop owners ask us
Can OwnerSurf handle hundreds of small items?
Yes. Find any item by scanning or by typing a few letters. Load your list from a spreadsheet instead of typing it all, and we help you set up during the pilot.
My products have no barcode. What do I do?
Search by name, or print OwnerSurf barcode labels for the shelf or the item. Most packaged goods already carry a barcode the app can read.
Can I sell the same item in different sizes, like a bag and a small pack?
Yes. Add each way you sell it as a size of the same product, each with its own price and count.
Does it work when NEPA takes light?
Yes. Sales save on the counter computer or phone, and send when the network comes back. The top of every screen shows if you are synced.
How much does it cost?
The pilot is free, and the Pocket plan stays free. Paid plans for bigger shops come after we test prices with real sellers. Waitlist members hear first.
Keep the shelves full and the queue moving.
Join the waitlist. We'll message you on WhatsApp when OwnerSurf is ready for your kind of business, and help you set up your stock.
