Ghanaian businesses are increasingly adopting digital solutions to improve efficiency and stay competitive in a fast-changing marketplace, according to technology firm Jogobu Limited. Speaking at a seminar for businesses in Accra, Chief Executive Officer of business development and tech solutions company, Jogobu Limited Blaise Kudatugu said many companies are recognizing that manual systems and scattered communication channels slow down operations, make decision-making difficult and increase the risk of financial losses. He explained that the shift toward technology is being driven by the need for real-time information, faster workflow execution and better control over resources. “Companies are beginning to understand that adopting technology is not just a trend. It is becoming necessary for daily work. Today, most staff already communicate through platforms like WhatsApp and Teams. Digital business systems are the next step, allowing full operational management from one place,” Kudatugu said. He noted that Jogobu’s mobile-accessible platform allows managers to track stock levels, verify item locations, generate invoices and monitor workflow activity from anywhere. This gives businesses a clearer overview of their operations and enables faster responses to changing needs. Technology Adoption Seen as a Cost-Saving Measure Kudatugu said many businesses are moving away from the belief that technology is expensive. Instead, companies now view digital systems as tools that prevent unnecessary spending and reduce workload. “People used to think implementing technology would cost too much. But when businesses compare the cost with daily losses from slow manual checks, stock misplacements and repeated purchases, they realize the investment pays for itself,” he said. He added that organisations that once relied heavily on physical counting and handwritten audits now complete the same work digitally in significantly less time, freeing staff to focus on productive tasks. Improved Accountability and Decision-Making The transition to digital systems is also improving accountability within institutions. Real-time tracking of goods and resources reduces opportunities for misplacement and irregularities. “With digital systems, managers know what they have, where it is and who has accessed it. This supports transparency and improves internal control,” Kudatugu said. A Shift Across Key Sectors The seminar drew participants from logistics companies, health facilities, manufacturers and port service providers. Many of these organisations are already integrating digitization to support service delivery and efficiency. According to Kudatugu, the growing interest signals a broader awareness that technology is central to Ghana’s economic transformation. “We are seeing more businesses across different sectors embracing digital operations. This is a positive shift. It means organisations are preparing for growth, competition and long-term sustainability,” he stated.
