Most inventory software is built for markets with stable power, stable currency, and upfront payment. Nigerian businesses run on none of those assumptions. A system that freezes when the network drops costs you sales during the outage, not after it. A system that treats every unit as identical can't handle a phone with a warranty, a drug with an expiry date, or a spare part that only fits certain vehicles. And a system with no concept of credit can't represent how goods actually move through Nigerian distribution chains, where extending payment terms to a retailer or contractor is normal business, not an edge case.

The specific modules differ by industry — a pharmacy needs FEFO batch picking, a fashion retailer needs size-and-color variants — but every version of Datalex’s AI Inventory Management Software shares the same operating foundation:
Offline-First Architecture — Sales, stock updates, and POS transactions continue to work with zero internet connection and sync automatically once connectivity returns — built for a country where power and network outages are a daily operating condition, not a rare disruption.
Multi-Branch & Multi-Warehouse Management — Stock transfer tracking between locations and a consolidated dashboard across every branch, depot, or warehouse — with per-location visibility as well as the combined total.
Credit & Installment Ledger — A running balance and credit limit per customer, visible at any time — whether that’s a retail customer paying in installments or a wholesale account buying on 30-day terms.
AI-Powered Pricing & Reorder Engine — Recommends pricing and flags reorder points based on real sales velocity, cost movement, and — where relevant — depreciation or expiry risk, so pricing and purchasing decisions are based on current data, not last quarter’s assumptions.
Unit-Level Traceability — Tracks stock at the level of detail your industry actually needs — IMEI for electronics, batch and expiry for pharmaceuticals, part number and fitment for auto parts, size and color for fashion — instead of forcing every business into a generic “quantity” field.
Business Intelligence Dashboard — Sales, margin, outstanding receivables, and stock position across your whole operation in one view, refreshed in real time rather than assembled manually at month-end.
Tracks IMEI numbers, serial numbers, warranty periods, and accessories, with stock transfer support between branches or storage locations.
POS, installment sales, quotations, receipts, and invoices in one flow — so a customer paying in 3 installments is tracked the same system that printed their receipt.
Recommends a selling price and discount limit for each product based on cost, competitor positioning, and how fast that item is moving. It also flags best-selling products and products that are losing value the longer they sit unsold — critical for electronics, where a phone model can lose 15-20% of its resale value within months of a new release.
Stores warranty status, purchase history, and repair history per customer, with upgrade reminders when a customer’s device is old enough to be a realistic upsell.
A staff member can type: “Customer wants a phone under ₨300,000.” The AI recommends the best options in stock, plus relevant accessories — screen protector, charger, case — and the applicable warranty, so upselling isn’t dependent on one staff member’s memory of what’s in stock.
Sales, profit, inventory levels, and staff performance in one view, so you know which staff member is actually closing sales versus just standing at the counter.

Run a business that spans more than one category — a supermarket that also distributes wholesale, or a manufacturer with retail outlets?
Book a free demo and describe how your business actually runs; we'll show you the relevant modules rather than a generic pitch.
Datalex is a Lagos-based software company with offices in Abuja and Port Harcourt, building AI-powered management systems across multiple sectors.
That matters for support as much as for the product itself: implementation, training, and troubleshooting come from a team operating in the same time zone, the same regulatory environment, and the same infrastructure conditions your business runs in — not a support ticket routed overseas.
Bring a sample of your current inventory: Excel sheet, paper ledger, or existing software export
Your stock, records, and customer/credit data are imported, however incomplete or inconsistent they currently are
Covers day-to-day use at the point of sale, receiving desk, or wherever your team interacts with stock
Typically 3-5 days for a single location; longer for multi-branch, multi-depot, or multi-warehouse setups
It's one underlying platform, configured with the modules and pricing logic relevant to your industry — not eleven separate products. Support, training, and setup follow the same process regardless of which industry version you use.
Pricing depends on your business size, number of locations, and which modules you need. This gets addressed directly during your demo, once we understand your actual setup rather than quoting a generic number that may not fit.
No — the system is built for day-to-day retail, warehouse, or distribution staff to use at the point of sale or receiving desk. Setup includes staff training before go-live.
The underlying platform is flexible enough to combine modules across categories — tell us how your business actually runs during the demo, and we'll configure around that rather than forcing a single template.
Yes — every version works offline and syncs automatically once connectivity returns, built specifically for Nigerian infrastructure conditions.
Every version starts the same way: a demo using your actual stock data, not a generic walkthrough.
