About Lameda

Most Nigerian businesses run on DMs. We think that deserves better tools.

Lameda is a chat commerce platform built for merchants selling through Telegram, WhatsApp, and Instagram, the places their customers already are.

The problem

A business built on DMs has no catalogue, no proof of payment, and no records.

Thousands of small businesses in Nigeria sell entirely through chat apps, no website, no point-of-sale system, sometimes not even a spreadsheet. It works, until it does not: orders get lost in the scroll, a customer sends a transfer screenshot that turns out to be fake, and when tax season comes there is nothing solid to hand an accountant.

Who it's for

Owners who are the sales team, the cashier, and the bookkeeper.

Lameda is built for the person running a store the way most Nigerian small businesses actually run, solo or with one or two hands helping, answering every customer message personally, and trying to keep track of it all in their head. We built the platform to take that load off, not to replace the relationship you have with your customers.

How we build

A few things we hold ourselves to.

Grounded in how merchants actually sell
We built Lameda around the way small businesses already operate, through chat, instead of asking anyone to learn a website builder or a new app.
A human is always one step away
The assistant handles what it can confidently resolve. Anything it cannot, it hands to you through Handoffs, so no customer is ever stuck talking to a wall.
Built for reliability, not novelty
Payments get verified before anyone is told an order is confirmed. Records get logged the moment a sale happens. The boring parts have to work every time.

Built in Lagos, for merchants everywhere in Nigeria.
