TheCEOApp team ·
Running a bureau de change business in Nigeria means keeping track of a lot at once: what you sold, who still owes you, what's left on the shelf and what came in today. TheCEOApp is a business app built in Nigeria that puts all of that on your phone, in the words of your trade.
This guide shows how bureau de change businesses use TheCEOApp day to day.
Record every sale in seconds
Add what you sell once, for example services like dollar exchange, pound exchange and euro exchange. Suggestions for a bureau de change come up as you type, so you don't start from a blank page.
Then record a sale by tapping the items, scanning a barcode or simply saying it out loud. The receipt goes to the customer on WhatsApp with your logo, and part payments are kept against their name.
Keep stock the way you count it
Count stock by dollar, pound, euro and CFA. Start with the biggest unit you buy in, say how many smaller ones fit inside, set a price for each and sell in whichever unit the customer wants. Stock goes down as you sell, and you're warned before you run out.
Tools bureau de change businesses use most
