Staff can move the work.
Counters, store leads, and payroll clerks already run the day. The product guides those non-technical teams through the next action instead of asking owners to sit on every spreadsheet.
Company
Built for businesses that already run through people.
Business Paddi is operations software for retail and inventory-heavy teams. We sit between the counter and the ledger so approvals, stock movements, payout changes, and batch records stay visible before they become a problem.
Why it exists
Control is lost in the handoff, not in the intent.
Most retail operators in Nigeria already trust staff to take payment, receive stock, and prepare payroll. The gap is the trail: who changed a bank account, which batch hit the shelf, and whether last month's salaries actually passed a second pair of eyes.
Business Paddi turns those routine staff actions into searchable records finance, operations, and audit teams can trust — without asking a store lead to become a software administrator.
Operating principles
Owners keep the control layer.
Sensitive changes wait for a reviewer. Payroll releases, payout-account edits, and stock exceptions stay visible before money or inventory leaves the building.
The record has to survive the month.
Finance and audit should not reconstruct who approved what from chat threads. Every operational event writes into a permanent trail.
What stays on the ledger
Four controls, one permanent audit trail.
Payroll
Five-step verificationMaker-checker salary runs, with a preserved history of who prepared, reviewed, and released each cycle.
Inventory
Multi-warehouse syncBarcode movements across counters, stores, and warehouses, without overnight spreadsheet cleanup.
Payment security
Tamper protectionBank-detail and vendor changes are flagged before payday so payout risk is reviewed, not discovered after the transfer.
Batch & expiry
NAFDAC/FDA compliantBatch numbers, expiry windows, and shelf movement for regulated stock, from delivery to sale.
How rollout works
