What we do

End-to-end
supply chain
intelligence.

From demand forecasting to automated purchase orders. Built for the complexities of African retail — informal trade channels, mobile money, intermittent connectivity, and multi-currency operations.

Demand Forecasting

AI learns from your sales history, local events, and seasonal patterns to predict what your customers will buy.

Smart Replenishment

Automated reorder points, safety stock, and purchase order generation across your entire distribution network.

Inventory Optimization

Right stock, right place, right time. Minimize waste and stockouts simultaneously.

AI Diagnostics

Natural language insights that explain what's happening in your supply chain and recommend specific actions.

Mobile Money

M-Pesa, MTN MoMo, Airtel Money, and more. Accept payments the way your customers actually pay.

Informal Trade

Track dukas, kiosks, and market stalls alongside formal retail. Because that's where African commerce happens.

Built different

Technical decisions driven by real constraints, not Silicon Valley assumptions.

Offline-First

Full PWA with service worker caching and IndexedDB. Every page loads without internet. Data syncs when you reconnect.

Serwist + Dexie.js + Background Sync

2G-Adaptive

Detects connection speed and adapts. On 2G: text-only, smaller payloads. On 4G: full experience with charts and images.

Network Information API + adaptive hooks

Multi-Tenant Secure

Every request authenticated and org-scoped. Data isolation at database level. SSO for enterprise.

better-auth + Prisma row-level filtering

Conflict Resolution

Edit offline, sync later. If someone changed the same record, you choose which version to keep.

Operation log + timestamp detection

Where we are

Early stage
Pre-revenue
Building in public

iQStep is an early-stage product by SISUiQ. The platform is functional — demand forecasting, inventory management, purchase orders, mobile money, and offline support all work today.

We're looking for FMCG distributors and retailers in East Africa who want to be early adopters. We believe in transparency: we won't claim capabilities we don't have or customers we haven't served.

What you see is what exists.

Where we're going

Three offices today.
Six markets
by 2027.

Kampala, Kigali, and Lusaka are the next three. We're expanding through our Value Bridges partner network — local distributors who already know the trade and can plug in iQStep without us shipping plane tickets.
