Quota

Small businesses in Maputo were quoting on paper and chasing payments by phone. Quota turns that into a two-minute flow: pick a client, add lines, send the PDF to WhatsApp, get paid on M-Pesa.

Quota cover
01.Brief

Replace paper and spreadsheets without asking owners to learn accounting. Every screen had to fit on a phone held in one hand, in Portuguese, with IVA handled automatically.

02.Approach

A single 'bench' screen where the document builds itself as you type, a live preview that is the printed PDF, and templates the business can pick without a designer. No page ever scrolls on desktop — everything the owner needs is in view.

03.Outcome

Shipped as a multi-tenant SaaS with self-service signup. First clients on-boarded from the landing page alone.
