For Founders with little to no programming skill, one of the biggest expenses when creating an eCommerce startup is setting up the website which requires hiring of often pricey developers. This is worsened by the unpredictability of such costs, as the price of setting up an eCommerce website can go from low for basic functionalities, to off the charts for a fully premium site. Even technologically knowledgeable Founders are always on the lookout for cheaper services that will offer the same or even better features than their current solution.
Invotide set out to resolve these pain points by providing affordable yet high functionality solutions for eCommerce businesses that are just starting out, looking to get online or simply in need of a more effective alternative. The Founder, Victor Maranzu, states that the core focus of Invotide is to develop user-friendly and affordable ecommerce technologies that cater to Nigerian businesses, with plans to scale across Africa in the near future.
