Technology Rails for African Commodities Exchange (TRACE)

Traceability is essential for producers of commodities being exported from Africa. It can provide a level of transparency and accountability in the supply chain, helping to prevent exploitation and ensuring that producers are fairly compensated for their work.

Additionally, by ensuring that products meet strict quality and safety standards, these producers can access higher-value markets and improve their livelihoods. Ultimately, traceability can be a powerful tool for empowering and uplifting marginalized producers in Africa. 

 

Sabi's TRACE initiative is working with our broad ecosystem of stakeholders to meet this challenge.

B2B
Marketplace

Our flagship offering, the Sabi marketplace, cuts across multiple categories including fast moving consumer goods (FMCG), agricultural commodities, electronics, and textiles. Merchants can restock their stores, while leaving the often daunting wahala of fulfilment, aggregation and disaggregation to Sabi. 

As their business grows on the Sabi marketplace, the merchant's transaction history is used to build a validated profile, unlocking access to even more services to support from our ecosystem of partners. 

Sabi is dedicated to empowering small businesses and providing the resources and support needed to thrive.

Commerce

At Sabi, we recognize that building trust is critical to ensuring successful trade and distribution transactions, both domestically and across borders. That's why our commerce infrastructure is designed to work with a broad range of actors across the trade and distribution value-chain, from producers to distributors and retailers.

Our technology-enabled platform streamlines the transaction process, reducing friction and increasing transparency. By providing access to information about the products being traded and the actors involved in the transaction, we help to minimize the trust deficit that can arise in complex supply chains.

Leveraging technology to create a more connected and transparent trade ecosystem, Sabi is helping to drive growth and development across Africa.

Credit

Sabi has brought innovative fintech solutions to market that help solve fundamental challenges in liquidity provision for merchants, importers, and exporters. Working with financing partners, we provide optimized liquidity in close cooperation with our customers and offer customized solutions by effectively utilizing data, risk metrics, and technology.

Our range of credit offerings include commodity finance, inventory finance, letter of credit finance. 

Digital Payment Acceptance

Our innovative payment acceptance tools, integrated seamlessly into our merchant-facing applications, are designed to help small merchants easily and securely accept payments from customers near and far. 

With features like SoftPos, contactless payments, digital payment links via SMS and WhatsApp, our tools are accessible, efficient, and tailored to meet the unique needs of African small businesses.

Financial Services

Access to appropriate financial services is critical for the success of small businesses. Without adequate credit provision, small businesses can struggle to cover operational expenses, invest in growth opportunities, or withstand unexpected challenges.

Inadequate payment acceptance tools lead to lost sales and revenue, while deepening a reliance on cash payments. 

A reliance on cash payments results in a lack of traceability in financial records, hindering the ability to assess business reliability. Without digital payment acceptance tools, businesses may struggle to build a validated profile that helps them access more enabling services.

Sabi is promoting financial inclusion by breaking down barriers to business formality.
