Our Story
Anytime was born in 2016 to ensure informal businesses are given an opportunity to grow and increase their revenue with services such as loans and access to their essential commodities at best prices in the market.
Anytime is a B2B e-commerce platform that eliminates the inefficiencies of traditional trade by digitizing the retail chain. Anytime has provided over 20,000 informal retailers (Dukas) the convenience to buy over 300+ products from our sales app.
Anytime ensures retailers get better ROI and distributors/ manufacturers grow volume and reach more retailers through our wide distribution network and We make essential goods consistently available to consumers in underprivileged communities.
We work to understand the individual needs of informal retailers by engaging them through different channels before connecting them to whichever service(s) that best helps them grow their business. This could mean ensuring a great assortment of low priced goods is available to them, providing a way for them to manage inventory, or facilitating finance.
