Ghala Demo Day: Backed with €100K to Build Africa’s WhatsApp OS

Running a business on WhatsApp is powerful but also painful.

Orders come in at midnight.
Payments get lost in M-Pesa messages.
You forget who paid, who didn’t, and who’s still waiting for delivery.
Staff mix business money with personal cash.

It’s chaos. And merchants deserve better.

The world believes in this mission too we’ve just been backed with a €100,000 grant from develoPPP Ventures (funded by DEG Impulse & BMZ) to turn WhatsApp into Africa’s operating system for commerce.

On 20th September, we’re showing how Ghala turns WhatsApp chaos into clarity.

💡 What’s New

💬 Seamless WhatsApp Ordering
No more scrolling through endless chats. Customers order, you track, and nothing gets lost.

💸 Automatic Payment Reconciliation
Ghala matches every order with every payment instantly.
No more sleepless nights wondering, “Did I get paid for that order?”

👥 Staff & Team Support
From one assistant to a team of 20 each staff member has their own login. Sales are tracked. Money is clear. Trust is built.

🧾 POS Built Into WhatsApp
Forget dusty machines. Your POS now lives in the same app where your customers are already chatting with you.

🤖 AI Copilot (Your Assistant in WhatsApp)
This isn’t another app you have to learn.
The Copilot works inside your WhatsApp right next to you:

• Helps customers place orders

• Answers their questions in real-time

• Reminds you about unpaid orders

• Suggests upsells when customers show interest

• Keeps your store running even when you’re busy or asleep

It’s like having an extra staff member one who never gets tired, never misses a message, and is always on duty.

Why This Matters

Because merchants don’t want another complicated app.
They want peace of mind.

• To sleep at night knowing every order is tracked.

• To trust their staff without fear of stolen sales.

• To see clearly which money came in and from where.

• To feel in control, not overwhelmed by WhatsApp chaos.

This isn’t just technology.
It’s freedom from daily stress.

🌍 The Bigger Picture

Ghala is building the WhatsApp-first operating system for African SMEs.

Every chat becomes an order.
Every payment gets reconciled.
Every merchant gains control.

This is how 50 million African entrepreneurs will sell, get paid, and grow.
