One system

Sell, buy, make and stock, on the same numbers.

When an order comes in, Olonka checks the shelf, flags what's short and helps you buy or make it. Sales, purchasing and production see the same thing at the same time.

Take orders you know you can fill.

Every order line shows In stock, Expected or Not available at the warehouse it ships from. If something's short, make it or buy it right from the order.

  • Quotes that turn into orders
  • Pick, pack and ship with labels
  • Returns, credit notes and refunds

  • It can look things up and make changes for you
  • It can only see and do what your role allows
  • You decide how long it stays connected

What is Olonka?

Olonka is inventory and production software for growing product businesses in Africa. It brings sales, purchasing, production and stock together, with an app for the shop floor, so everyone works from the same numbers.

Is Olonka really free?

Yes. Everything in Olonka, add-ons included, is free while it's in early access, and you don't need a card to sign up. We'll let you know well before paid plans begin.

Who is Olonka for?

Businesses with roughly 5 to 100 people that make or sell physical products: manufacturers, online brands, distributors, and makers of cosmetics, food and supplements.

Do shop-floor operators count as users?

No. Operators sign in with a PIN on a shared tablet or phone, and they're always free.

Can we start with sales and stock, and add production later?

Yes. Turn on Manufacturing, Warehouse, Planning or Traceability when you need them.

Does it work with Shopify and WooCommerce?

Yes. Orders come in on their own, stock and shipping updates go back to your store, and refunds arrive as credit notes.

Can the AI assistant make changes?

Only if you allow it when you connect, and only what your role allows. Every change is previewed first and made after you approve it.

Can we bring in our products from spreadsheets?

Yes. Upload CSV files using our templates for common industries, or we can help you during a walkthrough.

Where is our data kept?

On secure cloud servers, separated from every other business's data. Our Security page explains how we protect it.
