SMECore just rolled out as the first all-in-one ERP platform built specifically for small and medium businesses across Africa. The company showed off its tech at a major business conference in Nigeria, where Tony Elumelu and government officials talked about how most Nigerian companies struggle because they lack proper systems and support. Senator John Enoh pointed out that these smaller enterprises make up 95 percent of Nigerian businesses and provide over 85 percent of jobs.
The platform aims to fix what Amu Ogbeide from Sapphital called the missing piece for African businesses trying to go digital. SMECore offers an affordable system that helps companies stay transparent, follow regulations, and actually build something that lasts instead of just surviving. Elumelu pushed the idea that entrepreneurs need stronger ecosystems around them, not just resilience, if they want to move past barely scraping by.
