Millions sleeping on your shelves — while your best sellers run out.
Jupa helps import-heavy distributors release the cash stuck in slow stock and stop stockouts — with a quantified three-week assessment, working ordering rules, and a monthly review your own team runs.
Your fast movers — the items customers came for — keep hitting zero. Every empty slot is a sale walking to the competitor next door.
Problem two
Not moving
Meanwhile millions of shillings sit in slow and dead stock that was over-ordered — cash you paid for, gathering dust instead of working.
Most growing distributors carry two problems at once: fast movers run out, and cash is buried in slow stock that was over-ordered. Both come from the same thing — ordering by memory instead of by rule, with no one owning it. No supplier, market or exchange rate explains both at the same time. The same shilling bought the wrong item. That's fixable — inside your four walls.

Install & Sustain
Ordering rules, a KPI dashboard and a monthly planning review built with your team — they run it; they place every order. Then a monthly cycle keeps the gains from decaying.
Rules your team applies daily
Measured against a signed baseline
Fixed fee · then monthly
“You pay an auditor every year to check your books. Your stock is the biggest number on your balance sheet — and nobody has ever audited how it's bought. That's what the assessment is: a stock audit. Three weeks. Fixed fee. Your numbers.”
The diagnostic report: what's stuck, what's running out, and what it costs — in shillings.The KPI dashboard your team reviews every month — against a baseline you signed.
Who it's for
Built for import-heavy distributors and manufacturers.
Electrical, industrial, auto parts, building materials — businesses in Kenya that live and die by what's on the shelf. If you import most of your range, long lead times punish every ordering mistake twice.
The fit is simple: typically 300+ items, imported stock, and the feeling that both problems are true at once.
The founder
Elias Mohammed
Started on the workshop floor of the electrical industry — building power supply units and control cabinets from the very components many of our clients stock today. So the conversation starts in your language, not consulting language. From there: an Automation & Industrial Engineering education in Switzerland, then twelve-plus years running supply chain planning inside multinationals. Now based in Nairobi.
Before any data is shared, we sign an NDA. We are not auditors — we analyse item movement only; nothing is reconciled to declared figures. Your data is stored securely, kept separate, and deleted when we finish, confirmed in writing. Prefer not to share values? We can work in units only — we do the analysis on quantities, and your own team applies your prices at the final step, so every shilling figure is calculated inside your walls.
Common questions
Asked before every first meeting.
Is this consulting?
Only the way an audit is consulting. You're not buying a report — you're buying stock that behaves: best sellers that stay in stock, and cash that stops hiding on the shelf. Everything is measured against a baseline you sign.
Is this software?
No. You almost certainly have enough system already. We make your existing data make decisions. And because we don't sell software, we have no reason to push it.
Do you place the orders?
No. Your team places every order and makes every decision. We build the rules and keep the discipline honest.
What does it cost?
Fixed fees, quoted after a short conversation. The assessment fee is credited against the installation if you commission it within 30 days — so the first step is never wasted money.
What data do you need?
A stock list and 12 months of sales by item, straight out of your system. Units only is fine: we analyse the quantities, and your team applies your own prices at the final step — so the shilling figures are computed inside your business, and your values never leave it.
