Our Story

We built the tool
we wished we had.

BranchOS was born out of frustration — the kind that comes from watching a perfectly good business bleed cash because its reporting lives in a WhatsApp group.

Dealer networks across Africa are run by smart, hardworking people — not by broken technology. Our mission is to replace the chaos of group chats, spreadsheets and guesswork with clarity, accountability, and real-time control — so every branch owner can run a tighter ship without working harder.

What We Stand For

Three values. No exceptions.

Transparency

Every sale, every movement of stock, every clock-in is recorded and visible to the right people. No hidden corners. No end-of-day surprises. When your data is transparent, trust stops being an assumption and starts being verifiable.

Accountability

We believe people perform better when they know their contribution is seen. BranchOS gives managers the data to recognise top performers and address problems early — before they become costly habits. Accountability is not surveillance; it's fairness.

Simplicity

Complexity is the enemy of adoption. We build for the CSR who has never used business software, and for the CEO who needs answers on their phone during a meeting. If it takes more than two taps, we rethink it.

How It Started

Six branches. Two laptops. One endless WhatsApp group.

Before BranchOS, our co-founders Festus and Tunde were deep in the weeds of running a 6-branch electronics dealership in Lagos. The business was growing. The problems were growing faster.

The Problem

Every evening, Festus would send a message to six branch managers: "Send today's numbers." Some replied at 8pm. Some at 11pm. One forgot entirely. By the time the master Excel sheet was updated, it was midnight — and nobody was confident the numbers were right.

The Breaking Point

A stock discrepancy worth ₦840,000 went undetected for three weeks. By the time anyone noticed, the trail was cold. That evening, Festus called Tunde — a software engineer who'd been watching the chaos from a polite distance — and said: "We need to build this ourselves."

The Build

Tunde spent six months building the first version in evenings and weekends while Festus mapped out every workflow, every edge case, every moment where their old system broke. They knew this problem from the inside out — and they built the solution from the inside out too.

Today

BranchOS now powers dealer networks across Lagos, Abuja, Port Harcourt, and beyond. The WhatsApp group still exists — but now it's just for celebrating milestone sales days.
