Recurring revenue

Predictable monthly ARR lifts the valuation multiple — SaaS economics on top of marketplace GMV is rare in African events.

80% gross margin

SaaS contribution lifts blended platform margin and accelerates payback to Year 2 across all scenarios.

Defensible moat

WhatsApp inbox, diesel ledger, vendor network and CCTV vision sit on infra rivals can't replicate quickly.
