Never get caught off guard by running out of stock. Uzanga can notify you when a product reaches your low-stock threshold, helping you stay ahead of demand and restock before you run out. You can also set different notifications for each of your inventory locations, so you always know where stock is running low.
Selling online is no longer limited to physical products. If you run events, offer training sessions, host masterclasses, sell PDFs, distribute e-books, provide templates, issue tickets, or grant access to exclusive content, you can now sell all of these directly through Uzanga and automate much of the process. Instead of collecting payments through M-Pesa and manually following up through WhatsApp messages, phone calls, and DMs, Uzanga allows customers to place orders on your website, pay securely, and receive their digital products or booking information through a structured workflow.
Email marketing is one of the most powerful ways to stay connected with your customers and drive repeat sales. You've probably received promotional emails from businesses like Uber, Bolt, supermarkets, airlines, banks, and online stores. These businesses don't rely solely on social media to communicate with customers. They also use email to announce offers, promote products, share updates, and bring customers back to make purchases. Now you can do the same with your business using Uzanga's Promotional Email feature.
Running out of stock doesn't have to mean losing sales. Before this feature, when a customer visited your website and found the product or variant they wanted unavailable, they would usually leave and continue searching elsewhere. Many of those potential sales were lost forever. With Uzanga's Back-in-Stock Notifications feature, customers can leave their phone number or email address directly on the product page and request to be notified when a specific variant becomes available again. Once you restock, you can instantly notify everyone who expressed interest in that product and bring them back to complete their purchase.
Building a customer database is one of the most important things you can do for your business. Whether you're planning to send promotional emails, SMS campaigns, restock notifications, or simply keep customer records organized, adding your contacts to Uzanga makes managing customer relationships much easier. While you can add customers individually, businesses with dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of contacts will save a significant amount of time by importing them in bulk using a spreadsheet.
Running a business involves much more than simply receiving money from customers. Every sale triggers a chain reaction āļø Stock needs to reduce Orders need to be recorded Staff may need instructions Delivery information needs to be communicated Customers may need payment confirmation Pickup or shipping processes need to start For many businesses, especially those selling through WhatsApp, Instagram, TikTok, or physical stores, all of this is usually handled manually using spreadsheets, notebooks, or memory gymnastics šµ But with Uzanga, you can now create orders directly from your admin dashboard and let the system handle most of the heavy lifting for you.
