The feature, called Record Sales, was officially announced at a press conference in Lagos, where the Aggital Works team explained how it enables vendors to log transactions from Instagram, WhatsApp, TikTok, Facebook, phone calls, walk-ins, and in-store purchases, alongside orders from their Ushoppen websites.

For many small and medium-sized businesses, sales often happen everywhere but the accounting is scattered, on pieces of paper, WhatsApp chats, or spreadsheets.

This makes it difficult for entrepreneurs to know how much they are actually making at the end of the month.

Ushoppen’s new tool aims to solve this problem by giving vendors a single dashboard that captures all revenue streams, whether online or offline.

Speaking at the event, Oghoghozino Otefia, founder and CEO of Aggital Works and the mind behind Ushoppen, explained the motivation behind the update.

“Too many entrepreneurs end the month asking, ‘Where did the money go?’ because they can’t reconcile what came in from Instagram, WhatsApp, or even walk-ins. With Record Sales, everything sits in one place. Vendors can finally see the full picture of their business, and that clarity is powerful,” Otefia said

Aggital’s Chief Operating Officer, Iruoghene Otefia, added that the move is part of the company’s broader mission to empower entrepreneurs with practical tools. “This is more than just a feature; it’s about helping vendors make smarter decisions. When you can tell which sales channels work best, you know where to focus energy, time, and marketing spend.”

The announcement was made with other members of the Aggital Works team, Miracle Teco-Benson, Dorcas Olonode, and Micaiah Oduaran,  who played roles in shaping and delivering the update.

Ushoppen, which was developed by Aggital Works, has gained attention as a no-code online store builder that lets vendors set up professional websites in minutes without writing a single line of code. By adding Record Sales, the platform now offers vendors a comprehensive view of their business operations, bridging the gap between online and offline commerce.

The new feature is already live for vendors on Ushoppen, and new users can sign up via ushoppen.com.

Aggital Works, headquartered in Lagos, is known for delivering technology-driven solutions that combine creativity and strategy.

With this update, the company is reinforcing its position as one of the local players shaping the digital commerce ecosystem for Nigerian SMEs.

“It’s been a journey of hard work, faith, and perseverance, and we thank God for how far we’ve come,” Otefia shared, his words resonating with the entrepreneurial spirit in the room.

A pivotal moment in the company’s history, Otefia revealed, was securing a project from a major client who initially held reservations.

The successful delivery of that project not only solidified Aggital Works’ reputation but also transformed the client into a staunch supporter, demonstrating the power of dedication and quality work.

Ushoppen, Aggital Works’ flagship product, was a key focus of the event.

This user-friendly platform empowers small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to effortlessly create online stores, manage product listings, and process sales, all without requiring technical expertise.

Otefia emphasized Ushoppen‘s unique value proposition: “Our mission is to make digital tools accessible and affordable for SMEs. Unlike other platforms, we don’t charge transaction fees, giving businesses the freedom to grow without financial strain.”

Looking ahead, Aggital Works has set ambitious targets for Ushoppen, aiming to reach five million users within the next five years and expand its services to further support SMEs across Nigeria.

The company is also exploring opportunities in new sectors, such as real estate and advanced digital services, to diversify its portfolio.

Otefia didn’t shy away from acknowledging the early challenges the company faced, including talent acquisition and securing initial projects.

He explained how they overcame these hurdles by initially training friends and family to manage costs and strategically balancing high-end client work with broader market needs.

A strong advocate for the Nigerian tech industry, Otefia called upon the government to increase its support through grants and policies that stimulate innovation and economic growth.

“The digital industry in Nigeria is mostly self-funded. We rely heavily on foreign investments, which shouldn’t be the case,” he stated, urging for greater investment in local talent and incentives.

Dr. Austine Dairo, present at the opening, offered heartfelt congratulations to the Aggital Works team, describing the occasion as “marvelous in our sight.”

He offered prayers and expressed gratitude for the divine guidance that has shaped the company’s journey, quoting scripture to emphasize the importance of a strong foundation.

The office opening was a celebration of teamwork, resilience, and unwavering faith, leaving attendees inspired by Aggital Works’ core values and vision for the future.

With its new base of operations and clearly defined strategic objectives, Aggital Works is well-positioned to make a significant impact on Nigeria’s evolving digital economy.

Aggital Works Unveils Ushoppen, a No Code eCommerce Builder https://techeconomy.ng/aggital-works-unveils-ushoppen-a-no-code-ecommerce-builder/ https://techeconomy.ng/aggital-works-unveils-ushoppen-a-no-code-ecommerce-builder/#comments Mon, 22 Apr 2024 07:26:29 +0000 https://techeconomy.ng/?p=129476 A Nigeria-based multiple award winning digital agency, Aggital Works, has introduced a No-Code eCommerce builder, UShoppen, to assist small, medium and large enterprises develop online stores for their products.

Ushoppen is an all-inclusive ecommerce builder that allows you to create an online store, with tools to help you manage and grow your business.

Ushoppen is meant to solve the diverse problems and high costs associated with building an e-commerce business; from hiring a developer to purchasing a server, to figuring out how to collect payment online, to cyber and data security, etc.

Aggital Works team has consistently worked and delivered projects for small, medium and large-sized businesses across many industries in Nigeria, the UK, the US, Canada, amongst others.

“With UShoppen, you can seamlessly create your digital store as the no-code platform equips you with the necessary tools to flawlessly grow and manage your e-commerce business”, Oghoghozino Otefia, the founder/ CEO of Aggital Works said during a media launch of the platform in Lagos.

“We simplify store creation, management, and expansion. With Ushoppen, you can sell your products both online and offline, bridging the gap between the digital and physical retail worlds.

“Once you sign up on Ushoppen, you have a store created. Then all you need to do is set up your store and all of the details that you want on your store”.

Answer-and-Build System’

Otefia said Ushoppen was developed using the ‘Answer-and-Build System’ approach’, which curbs the bureaucracies that are involved in having an online store.

Before now, we tend to view an average of 15 to 20 ecommerce websites every year. And that’s because there’s so much bureaucracy that goes into having an online store or having an ecommerce store. For example, you need to buy a server, you need to buy a domain name, then, hire a developer which many clients tell you is too expensive.

So, Ushoppen is here to solve the problem of high cost and the back and forth we tend to have when building an ecommerce website. With Ushoppen, a user or a store owner does not need to understand any technical jargon. All you need to do is create an account on and start selling

Why you need Ushoppen

The marketplace is gradually graduating from the streets to the digital space.

In 2023, global retail ecommerce sales reached an estimated 5.8 trillion U.S. dollars. Projections indicate a 39 percent growth in this figure over the coming years, with expectations to surpass eight trillion dollars by 2027, according to Statista.

“It all means that there is still an untapped resource of eCommerce. Just 37% of the whole world population uses eCommerce. The remaining people will eventually adopt eCommerce. And that’s one of the reasons why we have a strong business case to build Ushoppen.

How Ushoppen Works

Speaking further the CEO of AGGITAL Works said: “Ushoppen is free for 14 days after which the subscriber pays 5,000 Naira per month only. And you retain your store”.

“We collect payment for you. We integrated both the manual payment and the automatic payment.

“So manual payment I referred to is bank transfer and cash on delivery. So somebody comes to your store, purchases an item, the person can pay manually via bank transfer or via automatic payment method, which is card payment, USSD, and all those. So we integrated six payment methods for Ushoppen.

“We have Stripe and PayPal for international payments. We have FlutterwavePaystack. Then, there is bank transfer and cash on delivery.

“Feedbacks from the beta testing made us integrate a WhatsApp Ordering System (WOS). Because some vendors would tell you, ‘I would prefer to just receive the order on my WhatsApp’ as opposed to having to log into my dashboard.’”

So, from all indications, with Ushoppen, the whole process has been made simple and stress-free with the Aggital Works’ innovative ‘Answer-and-Build System’.

You don’t need to worry about the technical stuff, just focus on answering a few questions, upload your products and brand details, and the system will build you a beautiful store where your buyers can buy your products and pay directly for your store.
