All-in-one

One app. Everything you need.

Till · credit · stock · accounts, without switching tools. Seven reasons to put the notebook away.

Sell · Discover it in the app

Sell

The notebook is over.

Basket, capped discount, cash or credit: every sale is recorded, even without a network in the mobile app.

  • Cash, Mobile Money or credit, even in a single sale
  • Send the customer the receipt on WhatsApp, right after the sale: on the web, and in the mobile app from v1.6.0
  • From v1.6.0, external barcode scanner: scan the carton, it's a carton. Scan the unit, it's a unit.

Customer credit

Know who owes you, and how much.

Every credit recorded, every due date tracked. No more endless "I'll pay you tomorrow".

  • Credit limit: above it, the sale is refused. From v1.6.0 and the Bâtisseur plan, online, it waits for the owner's approval
  • From v1.6.0, every credit payment gets its own numbered receipt, ready to send on WhatsApp
  • Cash and credit in the same sale

Auto reminders

Swalo chases your customers for you.

An automatic SMS or WhatsApp as soon as the due date gets close. You just collect, stress-free.

  • The reminder goes out on its own, by WhatsApp or SMS
  • Reminders before and after the due date
  • On the Bâtisseur and Empire plans

Cash & control

Every franc tracked. Nothing gets forgotten.

Money in, money out, net for the day: you see it all. From v1.6.0, the day's summary can be shared in one move, and if a relative lent you money for your stock, you record each repayment and see what's left to pay.

  • From v1.6.0, optional: count your till at closing. Swalo shows the difference and records it in the accounts.
  • From v1.6.0, all your bank and Mobile Money accounts, named, for one shop or the whole company
  • Unusual actions reach the owner: sale at a loss, cash correction, cancellation, price cut…

Stock & prices

Your stock and prices, under control.

Low-stock alerts, average cost, margins: you know what to reorder. And a price below cost doesn't go through without a trace.

  • One carton in, units on the shelf
  • From v1.6.0 and the Bâtisseur plan, on the web, a discount that puts the whole sale at a loss waits for the owner's approval
  • Your cost price stays hidden from your sellers

OHADA accounting

Your books are already done.

Journal, balance sheet and income statement to OHADA standards. Your accountant will love you. Staff, wages, advances: each payment comes out of your till, bank or Mobile Money and leaves a trace. From v1.6.0, with a receipt to share.

  • Every operation becomes an entry, no re-typing. From v1.6.0, the accounts are checked every day
  • General ledger, trial balance and preparatory DGI return
  • On the Bâtisseur and Empire plans

Several shops

All your shops. One screen.

In your web browser, see each shop or all of them at once: sales, cash, receivables, low stock.

  • Several shops on the Bâtisseur and Empire plans
  • Stock transfers between shops
  • From v1.6.0, one phone, several employees, several shops: every operation stays in the right shop

Demos

Try it.

Three hands-on demos: cut the network, slash the price, receive a carton. They're simulations, so play with everything.

Offline

The network drops. Your shop doesn't.

In the mobile app, every sale is saved on the phone, then sent to the server when the signal returns — exactly once.

  • 1 L vegetable oil1,500 F
  • Soap, pack of 41,200 F
  • 400 g powdered milk3,500 F

Local operation queue

No pending operations.

  • PIN sign-in

    Shop code and PIN, even without a network, on a phone where you signed in with your account within the last 7 days. One employee per shop on a phone; several from v1.6.0.

  • Zero duplicates

    Every operation carries the identity of its device.

  • Self-healing database

    Phone database damaged: Swalo restores it from the server. Operations not yet sent are kept from v1.6.0.

Illustrative simulation. In the mobile app, working offline: sales, cash, stock withdrawals, customers, receivables, suppliers, debts and, from v1.6.0, loan repayments. Physical counts, invoice creation, stock deliveries, sale cancellation, payroll and, from v1.6.0, the owner's approval require the network.

Sale at a loss

A price below cost? It doesn't slip through unseen.

On the web, when an item's price is at or below cost price, your seller is stopped. In the mobile app, with the cost hidden, the sale is refused at sync. From v1.6.0, it stays recorded and reaches the owner as a critical alert. An override takes the owner or, from v1.6.0, someone they authorise, and it leaves a trace. A discount on the whole sale only enters this check, on the web and with the cost hidden, from v1.6.0. Your seller never sees the cost.

Frequently asked questions

What people ask us.

How do I get started?

Message us on WhatsApp at +237 6 93 12 38 61. We open your shop and you start for free: 0 F, no commitment, no bank card. When you want more modules, we'll suggest the Pionnier, Bâtisseur or Empire plan that fits your business.

Why not a notebook and a calculator?

A notebook doesn't flag a sale at a loss, doesn't chase a customer on the due date and doesn't post accounting entries. Swalo does it on every operation, with no re-typing.

How do reminders work?

When a credit's due date gets close, Swalo sends your customer a reminder on its own, by WhatsApp or SMS. Your team also keeps its follow-up list, before and after the due date. On the Bâtisseur and Empire plans.

Which devices does Swalo run on?

With the mobile app on your phone, and in a web browser. Offline mode is only in the mobile app: sales, cash, stock withdrawals, customers, receivables, suppliers and debts keep going without a network, then everything goes to the server when the signal returns, with no duplicates. Loan repayments join them from v1.6.0. Physical counts and invoice creation need a network. Offline, credit above the limit is refused; from v1.6.0, online, it waits for the owner's approval.

Can my accountant use it?

Yes, with the Bâtisseur or Empire plan: journal, general ledger, trial balance, balance sheet, income statement, and a preparatory DGI tax return, with no re-typing. From v1.6.0, OHADA entries are recorded as you go and checked every day.

I run several shops. Is it for me?

Yes, with the Bâtisseur or Empire plan: stock transfers between shops, plus a consolidated report and management reports for the owner, on the web. From v1.6.0, on a shared phone, every operation stays in the right shop.

Is my data protected?

Every shop and every company is strictly isolated. You set permissions by role and position, and your cost price stays hidden from your sellers.

Is it reliable?

Swalo has been in production since September 2026, and nearly 7,000 automated tests check every new version before it goes live.

The African shop is entering a new era.
