Cashless policy: Firm launches new digital products to drive SMEs growth

Dukka, a bookkeeping and payments solutions company, has launched its new digital products to help individuals and small businesses manage their finances better.

On Monday, the firm unveiled its integrated POS terminal and Dukka Launchpad at his office in Lagos.

Speaking during the unveiling, Keturah Ovio, chief executive officer of Dukka Limited, said the digital payment terminal will go a long way in promoting the cashless policy of the Central Bank of Nigeria.

According to Ovio, Dukka’s PoS terminal is designed to enable small business owners to accept all types of cash and digital payments methods such as card and bank transfers in-store and online, record sales, and view business performance reports.

“Our mission is to drive financial inclusion amongst Africa’s small businesses by providing them with the easy-to-use digital technology tools that will enable them to grow to become big businesses tomorrow,” Ovio said.

“This innovation is revolutionary at a time in the industry when the Federal Government of Nigeria is pushing its cashless policy. Unsurprisingly, there has been a surge in the number of business owners demanding Dukka’s POS terminals ahead of its launch.

“Dukka’s POS terminals are rich with incredible features such as the ability to sell goods and receive instant payments, update inventory, generate receipts and invoices, evaluate daily business performance, and pay suppliers via bank transfers, all from the POS terminal.

“The company’s mission has always been focused on helping small businesses globally become big businesses by arming business owners with the right tools to grow and scale their businesses within the shortest possible time.”

Founded in March 2021, Dukka has onboarded over 200,000 small business owners across all 36 states in Nigeria, likewise Ghana and some other countries in Africa, Europe, Asia, and the United States, with a significant number of small business owners attesting to the ease of use.

One of the flagship initiatives of the company is CommunityByDukka, a cozy co-working space that offers professionals the benefit of cost efficient office space.
