For the African diaspora

Your shop runs all day. You see everything tonight.

You send money home for your business. But do you really know what's happening?

Your cashier cancels a sale at 11pm? You get an instant alert.

HandLit detects unusual cancellations, after-hours sales and excessive discounts — and alerts you in real time.

The trust problem

You're in France, Belgium, Canada, or the US. Your shop is in Cameroon or Nigeria. You send the money, but who controls the sales? Who checks the inventory? HandLit gives you the visibility you deserve.

How sync works

Your cashier sells all day offline. In the evening, they connect to Wi-Fi or mobile data for 2 minutes. All sales appear in your dashboard — wherever you are.

1

Offline sale

The cashier records every sale on the mobile app.

2

Brief connection

2 minutes of Wi-Fi or mobile data is enough.

3

You see everything

Sales appear in your web dashboard in real time.

Built-in trust tools

Complete activity log

Every action is recorded: sales, cancellations, refunds, logins.

Void and refund tracking

Get alerted when a cashier voids or refunds a sale. Everything is transparent.

Cashier accountability

Every sale is linked to a specific cashier. You know who sold what.

I used to check sales over WhatsApp with my brother. Now I open my phone from London and see everything in real time. I sleep much better.
