The daily grind shouldn't be this hard

01

Price blindness

You buy from one wholesaler because it's close. Meanwhile, Makro has the same stock for R8 less per case. Multiply that across 50 products. That's your margin disappearing.

02

Empty shelves, wasted trips

You run out of Simba chips on Friday afternoon. Saturday is your busiest day. Now you're losing sales or making an emergency run that costs more than the stock itself.

03

Buying alone

The shop three streets over orders the same things you do. Together you'd hit bulk pricing. But there's no way to coordinate that today.

Thepa works while you sell

An AI employee that never sleeps, never forgets, and always finds the best deal.

Inventory intelligence

Knows what you need before you run out

Thepa learns your sales patterns. Sells more cold drinks on Fridays? It knows. Running low on bread by Wednesday? Reorder alert sent automatically. No clipboard, no counting, no surprises.

Price hunter

Best price, every time

Compares prices across Makro, Shoprite wholesale, Cash & Carry, and local distributors in real time. You always know where the cheapest stock is.

Group buying

Buy together, save together

Thepa connects you with nearby shops to place joint orders. More volume means better prices. The savings get split fairly and automatically.

WhatsApp native

Works where you already are

No app to download. No login to remember. Thepa talks to you on WhatsApp. Check stock, approve orders, see savings, all from your phone.

100,000 spaza shops power South Africa's townships.

They deserve the same inventory intelligence that Pick n Pay and Shoprite have. Thepa brings it to every corner shop, every tuck shop, every informal trader, in the language they already speak, on the phone they already own.

Your shop. Your margins. Your AI.
