How we are digitising local commerce in Yaoundé

The commercial landscape of Yaoundé is undergoing significant change. Whether you are a bookseller in the city centre or a fashion shop manager in Bastos, the challenge remains the same: how to stay competitive in the digital age? AtUniversal House,we do not just create websites; we build the infrastructure that allows local commerce to scale up. 

Transforming the physical shop into a connected business

For many local traders, "digitisation" seems like a distant concept or one reserved for large multinationals. However, local commerce has a unique strength: the customer relationship.

Our mission is to provide these entrepreneurs with the same tools as the industry giants:

• 24/7 visibility:Your shop never closes its doors.

• Centralised management:Whether you sell in-store or online, your stock and sales are automatically synchronised.

• Control of information:You finally know who your loyal customers are and which products generate your profit.

A solution adapted to the realities of the Cameroonian ground

Digitising in Yaoundé is not done in the same way as in Paris or New York. We have designed our software architecture to meet the specific challenges of our environment:

• Mobile-First:Since the majority of Cameroonians access the internet via their smartphones, our platform is designed to be ultra-fast and consume little mobile data.

• Local logistics:We facilitate the link between your shop and local delivery services so that online purchases are followed by quick and reliable physical receipt.

The security and sovereignty of your data

One of the biggest barriers to digital is the fear of losing control. In our management solutions, security is an engineering priority.

• Total confidentiality:Each merchant has a secure space where their sales data, prices, and customer list are strictly protected.

• Permanent traceability:Every franc collected leaves a digital trace, thus eliminating management errors and unexplained losses.

Conclusion: The future of commerce is hybrid

Digitalisation is not here to replace your physical shops, but to strengthen them. At Universal House, we believe in a hybrid commerce where the warmth of in-store welcome meets the efficiency of digital.
