Offline-first business dashboard that keeps SMEs running during internet outages.
African SMEs, governments, and hospitals face fragile digital infrastructure that causes system failures from internet outages, SME collapses from rising cloud costs, and complete operational freezes.
SyncHaven provides a progressive web app dashboard for tracking sales, inventory, and tasks that works fully offline using local storage and syncs changes when connectivity returns. It prevents data loss and operational freezes by prioritizing critical local-first functionality. Tailored for African SMEs with intermittent internet, it reduces dependency on always-on cloud services.
