About Faida
Software for the shop down the road.
Faida means profit or benefit in Swahili. We’re AlgoLab, and we build Faida for shops in Tanzania and beyond.
Work stays on the shop computer
The desktop stores sales and stock locally. Once activated, it can keep working during an internet outage.
One set of records
A sale changes stock. A payment reduces a customer’s balance. Keep those records together so you can follow what happened.
Check in when you’re away
Cloud adds online reports, sync, and off-site backups for owners who need access away from the counter.
Who it’s for
Hardware shops, general retail, spares desks, and growing branches.
A hardware shop might need quotes and supplier orders. A duka needs a quick sale and a stock count. Faida brings those jobs into the same desktop app.
- Hardware and building supplies — large catalogs, purchase orders, locations, low-stock discipline
- Auto parts and spares — supplier-heavy workflows with quotes, invoices, thousands of SKUs
- Duka and general retail — fast counter sales with clear daily totals and stock visibility
