Why we built this.
In 2024, one of our co-founders watched his mother — a Kigali wholesaler of 22 years — spend three days reconstructing a single quarter of sales from a shoebox of invoices, a WhatsApp history, and a notebook. The RRA had sent a letter. She was terrified.
Rwanda has 40,000+ registered suppliers. The tools they use — QuickBooks, Sage, Excel — were built for companies in other countries, in other currencies, under other tax codes. Nothing was built for RRA VAT. Nothing handled EN+FR. Nothing assumed mobile money was a payment method, not an exception.
We could have built another generic invoicing app. Instead, we spent six months with suppliers in Kigali, Musanze, and Rubavu — watching, asking, listening. GwizaSuite is what we built based on what they told us. Everything you see in the product exists because a supplier said “I wish it did this.”
What we believe.
Short version. The long version is in how we build.
We don’t ‘localize’ for Rwanda. We start from Rwanda. RRA VAT, RWF, EN+FR, mobile money — these are defaults, not settings buried four screens deep.
Suppliers don’t need AI. They need stock numbers that don’t lie, invoices that go out today, and books that tie out at month-end. We ship the boring stuff well before we ship anything clever.
You can export everything as CSV, any time, no restrictions. If you leave us, you take your data with you. We earn your subscription every month — not with lock-in.
