In mid-2020 Ajua launched SME Connect, a similar platform to serve the Kenyan market, businesses across the country are actively using the app for customer retention and as a marketplace for their products.
“MTN EnGauge is the ideal platform for business owners and entrepreneurs to thrive in the new normal,” Lynda Saint-Nwafor, Chief Enterprise Business Officer, MTN Nigeria, said.
“Entrepreneurs can securely receive payment, track transactions with each of their customers and glean valuable insights to serve them better based on their preferences and buying behaviour.”
MTN EnGauge gives business owners a platform to improve their customer experience by managing interactions with their customers.
SMEs can finally get an impression of their customers’ perceptions of their brand and know exactly what their customers are looking for and inform their next steps with customer data. Ultimately increasing their customer retention and profitability.
MTN EnGauge also makes it possible to increase brand exposure through social media. SMEs can take advantage of this connection by promoting their products and services on various social media platforms.
Upon registration to the application, businesses are automatically provided with a unique business code (USSD) which allows their customers to interact, transact and communicate with them in real-time.
“Through this digital ecommerce, MTN EnGauge allows SMEs to increase their sales by automating their business processes, this can save them time and energy ultimately leading to increased productivity,” Ajua CEO, Kenfield Griffith said.
