Prediction: This coming week, some people are going to spend N310 more than they should per pack of milk 🥛 they purchase simply because they've not subscribed to Antiseepate www.antiseepate.com to know where it's cheaper. That's a loss of about N16,120/annum on milk purchases only.

Prediction: This weekend, some people are going to spend N150 more than they should per pineapple 🍍 they purchase simply because they've not subscribed to www.antiseepate.com to know where it's N150 cheaper. Enjoy 🙂

The Solution
From reports from SMEDAN & NBS, Nigeria has over 17 million Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and over 30 million households. These businesses and homes want to save money and channel to critical areas like marketing, retail outlet expansion, hiring more staff, saving up for children’s school fees, having money to pay for medical bills (including emergencies), etc. Every Naira counts – especially considering the tough economic situation facing the country. That’s where The Intelligence Company® comes in.
Our goal is to provide a simple way that enables businesses, homes, government bodies, NGOs and the likes to be able find out prices of items they use or need on a weekly basis (for FREE) from one reliable source – The Intelligence Company®. The business manager/house wife/investor/financial body giving loans, etc. can login from his/her phone or send a query and get an SMS of the market price of an item that day. So the prices are current and verifiable. That way, they can budget, plan, save and reduce the risk of lost revenue due to lack of information. Companies also want to know if their prices are competitive compared to that of their competitors. With the service they’ll be able to know that on a daily basis. That’s the basic idea. The rest as they say is the technology, processes and integrity of the system that we handle at the backend to help the client make informed decisions to help them save money and grow their business or savings.

The Challenge
Every business owner wants to save costs and channel resources to critical areas that will help them grow the business to a bigger scale and one that is very profitable. Sadly, a lot of money is lost due to internal losses that can be prevented. Take a fast food company like Mr. Biggs for example. Mr. Biggs used to be the biggest fast food chain in Nigeria a number of years ago – but that has changed. Others have taken the top spot. Imagine a scenario where the business manager of various branches gives out N200,000/month to the purchasing staff and the driver of one branch to go to the market to buy the food items they use to make the snacks and meals they sell. Because this manager is busy supervising various aspects of the various outlets, he/she won’t know if the actual cost of the items bought is N120,000 and that the purchasing staff has kept N80,000 for himself. That means that outlet is losing about N960,000/annum to internal fraud. Now imagine that they have 5 outlets in Abuja and say 15 more in other states nationwide. That’s a loss of at least N19.2million/annum. This is money that would have gone to market, hiring more staff to serve customers faster and better, paying electricity bills, getting fuel for the generator, opening a new branch, etc. It’s no surprise such businesses run down after a while. This is the story of just one company.
Also imagine a busy wife who doesn’t have time to go to the market and has to send the house help or driver to do the shopping. Imagine if the person takes N200 to buy a mudu of beans when it actually costs N150, that amounts to a loss of N50/item purchased. Spread this over the several mudus or bags or baskets of items bought each week and then over a month and you see that such losses add up. Prices of items change regularly, thereby making it easy for such individuals to get away with their schemes.
