What is the typical ROI of automating data entry?

Most FMCG businesses see ROI within 60 to 90 days. For example, cutting 160 manual hours monthly at ₦5,000/hour saves ₦800,000 monthly. With AI tools costing ₦250,000-₦400,000 monthly, the net gain starts immediately. Error reduction also prevents stockouts and lost offtake worth tens of thousands more.

How quickly can AI be implemented in my FMCG business?

Implementation takes 2 to 6 weeks, depending on data complexity and system integration. We start with a free audit to map your order, invoice, and delivery workflows. Then we pilot AI on one route or depot within 14 days, scale across regions in 30-45 days.

What types of data entry can AI handle?

AI handles order capture from WhatsApp or voice notes, invoice processing, delivery note reconciliation, POD verification, and stock movement logging. It extracts quantities, SKUs, prices, retailer names, and delivery dates from unstructured sources like paper forms, PDFs, or images, then logs them into your ERP or Excel.

Is my data secure with an AI solution?

Yes. Data is encrypted in transit and at rest. Processing happens on secure, audited cloud servers with role-based access. We comply with NDPR standards and can deploy on private instances if needed. Your customer lists, pricing, and sales data stay yours.
