Start with the work
Retail software earns its place through repeated daily use. We study the real path, build the controls it needs, and rehearse it from opening through close.
About SWIPE.co.za
Built around how stores actually work.
SWIPE is a South African retail operating system developed by Hippo Bay, trading as SWIPE.co.za. We focus on the connections between the counter, stock room, manager and business record.
Keep ownership clear
A product, price, supplier, shift, wallet or approval must belong to the correct tenant, company, store or Till. Clear boundaries make operations easier to understand and safer to change.
Make evidence useful
Audit records are not decoration. They should answer who acted, why they acted, what changed and where that change belongs.
Be honest about readiness
Controlled development proofs, provider certification and generally available product features are different states. We describe those boundaries plainly.
Our direction
Local context, serious operational design.
SWIPE is aimed at South African convenience retailers, fuel-retailer stores and growing store groups that need the Till and back office to explain the same business day.
