Structured business case. Country and activity templates with realistic assumptions. Projections, cost structure, funding need. Ready to share with an accountant or a bank.
Operating mode
Run your company
Existing SMEs
Finance, payroll, CRM, HR, inventory, projects, procurement, compliance. The full operating suite with governance built in.
Trust mode
Get reviewed and funded
SME + accountant + bank
Cabinet Portal for accountants. Trust Portal for banks and investors. Immutable snapshots, readiness score, audit evidence. Financing that actually knows you.
What Operis does
Run the core of your business from one place
Start with the basics. Unlock the rest when you're ready.
Invoicing & payments
Send invoices and accept Orange Money, Wave, MTN Mobile Money, and bank transfers. Track what's paid and what's owed.
Client & contact management
One place for your clients, deals, and follow-ups. Send quotes via WhatsApp. Convert them to invoices in one tap.
Team operations
Leave requests, project tasks, timesheets, and approvals. Keep your team moving without chasing updates.
Business dashboard
One screen for your cash, clients, projects, and team. No more guessing how the business is doing.
The problem
Your business runs on 8-12 disconnected tools. It doesn't have to.
Growing African businesses cobble together spreadsheets, WhatsApp groups, and a patchwork of tools that don't talk to each other. Zero visibility. Manual processes everywhere. Compliance risk hiding in plain sight. And no single view your accountant or bank can trust.

Operis replaces them all with one integrated platform.
Funding Readiness
Start before the company exists
Most entrepreneurs have an idea and no clear path to financing. Operis lets you build a funded, reviewed, governed business case - before you form the company.
Activity-aware templates
Country-specific business case templates with realistic assumptions, financial drivers, and sector benchmarks built in.
Bank-grade financials
OHADA-format revenue model, cost structure, projections, and financial statements auto-generated.
Accountant review
Share your plan with a certified accountant. They review assumptions, flag risks, and sign off via Cabinet Portal.
Bank-ready snapshots
Immutable, timestamped snapshots shared with banks via Trust Portal. They ask questions, issue term sheets, close deals.
Readiness score
Objective score showing how fundable your business is. Fix the gaps before you walk into the bank.
Convert to operating
Once funded, your plan becomes an operating budget. Industry pack auto-suggested. Actuals-vs-plan built in.
Product architecture
Three layers working together
Operis isn't another tool. It's a complete operating system organised in three interconnected layers.
Execution Layer
Where daily work happens
Sending invoices, running payroll, managing tasks, logging time, chatting with colleagues, scanning barcodes. Fast, mobile-friendly, works offline.
Control Layer
Where governance is embedded
Approval workflows, separation of duties, reconciliation, compliance calendar, labor law guardrails, immutable audit trail. Invisible to operators, absolute in enforcement.
Intelligence Layer
Where insights emerge
Health dashboard with 15+ metrics. AI-generated digests. Anomaly detection. Revenue forecasting. Readiness score. Operational data turned into leadership clarity.
Trust Ecosystem
Data your accountant can verify. Data your bank can trust.
Operis makes your business legible to the people who fund and audit it. Controls are built in, not bolted on.
Cabinet Portal
Accountants work across multiple client workspaces. Review transactions, sign off on reports, flag anomalies, close periods.
Trust Portal
Banks and investors access verified snapshots, ask structured questions, issue term sheets, and monitor covenants.
Immutable audit trail
Every change logged at the field level. Tamper-evident. Proof of integrity for auditors and regulators.
Separation of duties
Configurable SoD rules prevent one person from creating, approving, and paying the same invoice.
Report integrity
Bank reconciliation, inter-module tie-outs, digitally signed financial statements that cannot be modified after publishing.
Anomaly detection
AI flags unusual patterns: duplicate payments, round numbers, weekend-only transactions, outlier margins.
Modules
One platform. Zero integration headaches.
Every module is connected. A deal in CRM becomes a quote, becomes an invoice, becomes a GL journal, becomes a financial statement, becomes a snapshot in the Trust Portal. All automatic, all config-driven.
Finance & Accounting
Invoicing, AP/AR, OHADA-compliant financial statements, expense tracking, multi-currency, and auto-generated GL journals.
Payroll
Salary structures with statutory deductions auto-calculated per country. Bilingual payslips, mobile money disbursement.

Project Management
Tasks with Kanban, Gantt, and list views. Time tracking, timesheets, billable hours, and auto-invoice generation.
Inventory & Warehouse

Communication
Team chat with channels, DMs, and threads. Email integration (Gmail/Outlook). Shared inboxes for team collaboration.
Calendar & Scheduling
Schedule meetings, book rooms, share scheduling links. Unified timeline pulling events from every module.
Knowledge & Training
Company wiki, SOPs with acknowledgment tracking, training courses with quizzes, and internal FAQ system.

Comparison
Why teams switch to Operis
Spreadsheets + WhatsApp
Zero governance, zero automation, zero visibility. The status quo for most African SMEs.
QuickBooks / Sage
Finance only. No HR, CRM, projects, inventory, or funding readiness. You still need 7 other tools.
Zoho / Odoo
Generic and English-centric. Weak on OHADA, FCFA, African labor law, and mobile money. Complex setup, not mobile-first.
LivePlan / Bizplan
Business plan only. No path from plan to operations. No accountant review. No bank portal. No audit trail.
Operis
One platform for the full lifecycle: business case, operations, audit evidence, and financing. Local compliance, mobile money, WhatsApp, OHADA, bilingual, offline, config-driven. Built by a team that understands the market.
