In today's digital age, the power of e-commerce should not be underestimated. For small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in Kenya, embracing this online marketplace can lead to unprecedented growth and success. According to a recent report by Statista, Kenya’s e-commerce revenue is projected to reach 1 billion USD by 2025.

One key advantage of e-commerce for SMEs in Kenya is the ability to reach a wider customer base, both locally and internationally. With Lipabiz Technologies Ltd's business management platform, you can easily manage your online store, inventory, and sales—all from one convenient location.

Let’s take the example of Nairobi-based coffee retailer, Roast & Grounds. Initially a physical shop, they expanded their customer base by launching an e-commerce platform. By doing so, they increased their sales by 30% in just one year.

Another benefit of e-commerce is the reduction of overhead costs. By eliminating the need for a brick-and-mortar store, SMEs can save on rent and utility bills. Additionally, with Lipabiz's payments platform, you can accept various payment methods, ensuring a seamless and efficient transaction process for your customers.
