The Challenge

What the client was up against

Soko Retail's 2,000+ field agents operated across remote regions with unreliable internet. They relied on paper forms for order capture, stock counts, and customer visits — leading to data loss, reconciliation delays of up to two weeks, and an inability to surface real-time sales intelligence to management.

Disconnected processes

Manual data entry

No real-time visibility

Error-prone reconciliation

Our Solution

How we solved it

We designed and engineered a cross-platform React Native application with a robust offline-first architecture. All data is stored locally using SQLite and synced intelligently to the cloud backend the moment connectivity is restored. The app features GPS-stamped visit logs, barcode scanning for stock counts, a guided order capture flow, and a real-time manager dashboard built in React.
