Mona App
Mona App by Uniplexity AI is transforming how African small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) manage sales, inventory, and finances. Designed with affordability and accessibility in mind, Mona is a mobile-first platform powered by AI agents and enhanced with a handheld IoT M-Scanner. This scanner works with any smartphone and enables quick product scanning, digital receipt generation, and automated inventory updates in real-time. Shop owners can generate financial reports, calculate taxes, and receive stock alerts using an integrated AI financial agent. With cloud backups, businesses can securely access their data anytime, anywhere. The solution addresses key SME challenges such as manual errors, lack of real-time data, and high setup costs. Priced at just K1,500 for the scanner and a low subscription fee (K50/month or K500/year), Mona App is already making an impact, saving users up to 40% of their time and showing strong traction. With a vision to digitize every shop in Zambia and beyond, Mona App is more than a tool—it's a growth partner for every African retailer.

"Very well executed and practical project with clear market need and excellent business value. Full-stack implementation already solving key SME problems, though AI integration and originality are moderate so far. Future AI-driven features will further strengthen technical depth and differentiation."
