In today’s business landscape, it is crucial for merchants to embrace fintech solutions as a safeguard against the challenges posed by fluctuating trade cycles across various industries. By adopting innovative financial technologies, merchants can effectively mitigate the risks associated with inadequate cash flow management, thereby fortifying their resilience and stability in the market.

This is where adumo plays a pivotal role. By adopting adumo’s payment solutions, merchants gain access to an industry-leading suite of point-of-sale systems, supported by specialised back-office technology, creating a seamless reporting system for their business transactions.

Adumo merchants benefit from a fully connected and digital suite of handheld POS devices, smartphone apps and integrated computer systems, gaining full visibility and control over their income and expenditure to effectively manage their payments.

Adumo’s payment solutions empower merchants to reduce their reliance on cash transactions, which brings positive impacts for security, sustainability and data gathering. The transition to cashless environments, accompanied by the automatic recording of POS payments, allows merchants to unlock funding opportunities through adumo Capital. This enables merchants to purchase additional stock, improve their business premises or make necessary alterations as they grow – ensuring that they stay abreast of the times.

Adumo Capital, provided through a partnership with Retail Capital, a division of TymeBank (a leading SME funder), offers seamless pre-approved funding options to a multitude of industries, including restaurants, retail stores, FMCG brands as well as beauty and guest houses.

Adumo CEO Paul Kent emphasises that the partnership aligns with the vision to be a catalyst of growth for African businesses.
