SARI-SARI STORES AND EVOLUTION

Scene from a recent Hapinoy activity : Nanay Delia learning a Point-of-Sale System for her Sari-Sari Store. Whatever doubts of the applicability of technology for the smallest unit of retail were laid to rest after the training session. The potential of becoming more efficient in pricing controls, inventory management, and accounting were key benefits that were very much appreciated. Of course, only time will tell what details need to be improved in terms of practical usability. But the important thing is that the initial steps are already being taken. After all, this is just the beginning of an evolutionary path that we as MicroVentures are committed to pursuing. (special thanks to Intel and Enigma for this pilot)
