[DIGITAL Business Africa] – As part of the Silicon Mountain delegation showcasing local technological innovations at the UK Pavilion during PROMOTE 2026, Tech Chantier highlighted its commitment to empowering small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with accessible, real-time management tools.
Fongoh M. Tayong, CEO of Tech Chantier, presented TCPoS, an offline-first smart Point of Sale (POS) solution engineered to help millions of African SMEs sell, track, and grow—even in low-connectivity markets.
“TCPoS is a low-cost, affordable Point of Sale system for businesses, designed to help you keep track of your sales and stock levels in real time. You can use this system in any business that sells products—whether you run a restaurant, a bar, a pharmacy, or a hardware store,” explained Fongoh M. Tayong.
Real-time remote tracking, offline capability, and automated WhatsApp reporting
Designed to overcome connectivity challenges faced by local merchants, the offline-first technology allows uninterrupted daily operations while providing business owners with full visibility, anywhere in the world.
“You simply set up your inventory, and as sales happen at the shop, you—as the business owner—can monitor from anywhere in the world how much has been sold and what stock remains. At the end of the day, the system sends a report directly to your WhatsApp, showing your total daily revenue and your exact profit,” added the CEO of Tech Chantier.
Supporting the digital transformation of local trade
The solution showcased by Tech Chantier aligns with the broader push by the Silicon Mountain ecosystem to deliver sovereign, resilient technologies tailored to the African market. By combining offline functionality with automated WhatsApp reporting, TCPoS lowers the technical barrier for informal and formal SMEs transitioning toward digital record-keeping.
This focus on practical digitalization for local commerce also echoes the core themes of E-Gov’A 2026 (E-Gov Africa Summit, Expo & Awards), scheduled to take place from October 14 to 16, 2026, at the Palais des Congrès in Yaoundé under the patronage of the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications. Organized by Digital Business Africa in partnership with the Smart Click Africa association, the summit will focus on the theme: “Artificial Intelligence and E-Governance: Building Efficient Public Services in a Cashless and Paperless Africa.”
