Aware for Business · Research

Stop reconciling customer payments by scrolling through one phone.

Aware is researching a simple way for Ugandan businesses that receive many customer payments through MTN MoMo and Airtel Money to keep a searchable record of what was paid — so your team can confirm payments without passing one phone around.

What your team checks each day Research brief
  1. 01

    Which customer payments came in today?

  2. 02

    Which references are still unmatched?

  3. 03

    Is the capture phone working and up to date?

  4. 04

    Who reviewed or changed each record?

Start with the payment message, then build the record
The problem

One phone. One person who has to remember everything.

Right now, teams confirm customer payments by checking one phone, screenshots, or SMS threads. Owners and accountants need a faster way to see what was paid, what is still unmatched, and what needs follow-up.

The first useful version would stay narrow: a searchable record of payments, a way to find what's missing, a daily review, and simple exports.

Proposed workflow

One business phone. One reviewable payment record.

This flow is a research direction. It will only become a product after field testing proves the capture and reconciliation model is dependable.

  1. 01

    One dedicated Android phone receives supported customer payment messages.

  2. 02

    Aware turns each message into a structured, searchable record.

  3. 03

    Authorized team members review records, match references, and spot what is missing.

  4. 04

    The team closes out the day and exports what needs follow-up.

Privacy boundary

The record can travel. The inbox does not.

A dedicated business phone keeps employee and personal conversations outside the workflow from the beginning.

  • Raw SMS stays on the dedicated capture phone.

  • Only structured transaction records would sync to authorized members.

  • A dedicated business phone and SIM keep this separate from personal messages.

  • Aware records payment evidence; it does not move or settle money.

First pilot shape

Starting with a small pilot.

We are looking to understand the day-to-day collections workflow before committing to a dashboard or a broader accounting product.

Designed to learn with 3–5 Ugandan businesses

One dedicated Android phone, one or two business SIMs, and a real daily-close routine.

Deliberately excluded
  • No payment initiation or custody
  • No official receipts generated from SMS
  • No lending or credit scoring
  • No AI accounting claims
