PASSIONATELY SERVING AFRICA
Smart BAB
A unique and innovative concept that involves deploying multi-service shops in villages and peri-urban areas of Africa. A local, inclusive, and technological approach to community economic development.
Discover the BAB Concept Designed to be managed by women’s and youth associations in remote areas without internet coverage, our prefabricated shops are of high quality and equipped with all the modern technology necessary for their development.
A High-Speed Satellite Internet access system, including a Wi-Fi hotspot, allows for punctual or permanent internet access at very low cost while giving the shop operator the opportunity to offer many other services that require connectivity (money transfer, SportCash, Loto Bonheur, Wikipedia consultation, E-Learning, etc.).
Additional entertainment services are also offered to customers through access to television projected on a large screen. Each shop is also equipped with a refrigerator and freezer, allowing the operator to sell a range of essential products and/or cold drinks and ice creams, while maintaining the cold chain.
All products and services are managed by a state-of-the-art cash register. The shop’s electrical energy is provided by a mix of the national electricity company (when available) and a solar panel system supplemented by batteries.
Our Mission Smart BAB is a technological start-up whose mission is to #modernize retail trade in Africa while improving financial inclusion through the development of community economies in peri-urban and rural areas.
Combining profitability and social impact in Africa? It’s possible!
