Collaborative commerce designed exclusively for emerging markets and informal economies

BAIA is leading the ‘FinText’ Revolution through its simple mobile messaging platform BaiaNet. BaiaNet integrates with popular messaging systems such as Telegram , Facebook Messenger and Whatsapp, ensuring that face-to-face collaborative commerce is simple, efficient, transparent, and secure. Easy to use and providing access across any device -  BAIA’s solution is as easy as messaging a friend.

Agents on  BaiaNet achieve their goals through cooperation. BaiaNet supports this by allowing “responsibility sharing” to perform a commerce task as well as through the use of peer trusted cooperative agent networks that could organise to get reduced prices, increased profits, coordinated business planning, inventory/excess sharing/reselling, logistics, business insights and most of all knowledge sharing between peers. Acting as a trusted mediator without intrusion, BAIA’s platform creates a digital ledger of every exchange, agreement, and negotiation. 

Baia are interested in working with large corporations and SMEs that want to penetrate and manage large informal face-to-face supply chains, efficiently, transparently, and securely.
