AI Automation From Notebooks to Smart Systems: A Quiet Tech Revolution in Senegal
Walk into a typical shop in Touba, Thiès, or even the busy markets of Dakar, and you’ll still see something familiar: a shopkeeper writing sales in a notebook, counting stock manually, or using a basic calculator to track daily expenses. But that’s changing fast. Senegalese businesses, big and small, are beginning to embrace AI automation. And what used to feel like “technology for big companies” is now becoming a daily tool for local shop owners.
Let’s dive into how this shift is happening and what it really looks like on the ground.
What does “AI Automation” mean for a local shop?
It doesn’t mean robots or huge machines. It means:
- Sales that update automatically
- Invoices created with one click
- Stock alerts when items are running low
- Expense tracking without stress
- Real-time dashboards you can understand
AI Automation is simply about letting technology handle the repetitive stuff, so you can focus on what matters: customers, strategy, and growth.
Jangaan Tech’s real tools for real shops
At Jangaan Tech, we build tech with the African context in mind tools that are powerful but simple, and most importantly, adapted to how people actually work here.
Here are two of our solutions that are helping Senegalese businesses automate without stress:
1. The Commercial Management Software (Excel + VBA Based)
This tool was designed specifically for local business owners who want control without needing internet or expensive software.
What it does:
- Tracks sales, purchases, clients, and expenses
- Generates invoices automatically
- Updates stock levels in real time
- Alerts you when a product is about to finish
- Allows partial payments and VAT calculation
- Creates dashboards for daily, weekly, or monthly performance
✅ All in Excel, no internet required
✅ Works in Wolof, French or English
✅ 100% adapted for Senegalese and African merchants
“Before using the software, I was always late with invoices and didn’t know when stock would finish. Now, I’m more organized, and my clients notice the difference.”

2. The Smart Alarm System (Under Development)
Security is just as important as sales. That’s why we’re also working on a smart alarm system that protects your shop and looks good doing it.
Features coming soon:
- Motion detection
- Battery backup (even when there’s a power cut)
- Simple, elegant design
- Easy setup no complex installation needed
It’s tech that keeps your shop safe, even when you’re not there.
Why AI Automation is a big deal for Senegal
Let’s be honest: many small businesses lose money not because of big problems, but because of small mistakes repeated every day:
- Forgetting to record a sale
- Losing track of supplier debts
- Running out of stock during rush periods
- Taking too long to create client invoices
AI Automation reduces these problems. It makes your business more efficient, more professional, and ready to grow. You don’t need to be a computer expert to use automation. You just need tools that speak your language and a team that’s here to help. That’s what Jangaan Tech offers. Whether you’re running a shop in Mbacké, a service in Dakar, or a new brand online automation can help you do more with less.
