We didn't build a mobile version of Bujeti. We built what you need.

Here's why we left out half the features, and why that's the whole point.

Let me start by telling you what we didn't do. We didn't shrink the web dashboard down to fit your phone screen. We didn't try to cram every button, every feature, every report into a mobile app just because we could.

Businesses use the Bujeti web for everything from expense control and budgeting to invoicing, policy setup, approvals, payments, and reconciliation. And they love it. But over the past year, we kept hearing the same frustration from teams across Nigeria:

"We use Bujeti for everything on the web, but when our sales reps are on the ground, they have to use a different app to make payments. Then we spend hours reconciling everything back into Bujeti."

"I'm travelling, and my team needs approval to pay a supplier. But I can't get to my laptop for another three hours."

And then, the worst part, they'd spend hours at the end of the month reconciling all those scattered mobile payments back into Bujeti. We could've solved this the obvious way: Build a mobile app with everything the web has.

We didn't.

Instead, we asked a different question: What if the mobile app only did the things you actually need to do when you're not at your desk?

Your business doesn't stop when you leave your desk.

Here's what we learned: Business operations don't stop when people close their laptops.

  • Your logistics manager is on-site with a vendor who needs payment now.

  • Your operations lead is travelling between cities but has requests waiting for approval.

  • Your sales team is closing deals in the field and needs to capture receipts immediately.

  • They can't wait until they get back to the office. And they shouldn't have to.

So we built the Bujeti mobile app around a core idea: Control that follows you everywhere.


The Bujeti mobile app does five things. And it does them fast.
  1. Request: Need funds from a budget? Request them in 30 seconds.

  2. Approve: Fund requests, payments, and expenses. Instant. No laptop required.

  3. Pay: Send money to vendors. Receive from customers. Right from your phone.

  4. Capture: Snap a receipt. It's attached to the transaction immediately.

  5. Track: See every transaction in real-time. Know exactly where money is going.

That's it.

There’s no budget creation, no detailed reports, no team management, and no approval workflows. Why? Because you don't need those things when you're on the move. You need them when you're sitting down, thinking strategically, planning.

Essentially, the Bujeti mobile app is for quick action, and the web is for strategic control.

And every action syncs instantly with the web. You never have to think about which platform to use. You just act.


What actually changes

Your field rep pays a vendor at 2:47 PM using the Bujeti app. Your finance manager sees it on the web dashboard at 2:47 PM. You get the notification at 2:47 PM.

The receipt is already attached. The budget is already updated. The transaction is already categorised.

You can stop using multiple apps.

No more switching between Bujeti on the web and some other banking app when your team is on the ground. Everything happens in Bujeti, whether web or mobile, it doesn't matter, as it all syncs instantly.

You stop worrying about being away from your laptop.

  • Your team needs approval for an urgent payment. You're in a meeting. Or traveling. Or just away from your desk.

  • You get a push notification. You open the app. You review the request. You approve it. 30 seconds. Done.

  • Your team keeps moving. You stay in control. No delays. No bottlenecks.


Why we didn't build "everything"

You might be wondering: Why not just put all the web features on mobile? Because that's not actually helpful.

When you're setting up budgets, building approval workflows, or generating detailed financial reports, you need time. You need space; you need to think.

That's web dashboard work. And we built the best web dashboard for that.

But when you're on the move, when you need to act quickly, you don't need ~30 features. You need the right five. Request. Approve. Pay. Capture. Track.

The mobile app and web platform work together. They're not competing. They're complementary. And because they sync in real-time, you never have to choose. You just use whichever one makes sense in the moment.


The Bujeti mobile app is for you:
  • If your business operates beyond the office, your team is out there closing deals, managing logistics, visiting job sites, and making vendor payments.

  • You're the finance manager, tired of reconciling mobile payments from three different apps back into one system.

  • You're the operations lead handling operations across multiple locations, stuck using a separate banking app because your finance platform only works on desktop.

  • You're the COO who needs to approve urgent requests while travelling.

  • You're anyone who's ever thought, "I wish I could just do this from my phone without switching apps."

Now you can.

My final personal note to you
  • You don't need another app.

  • You don't need to switch between platforms.

  • You don't need to reconcile mobile payments manually.

  • You don't need to worry about opening your laptop when you're on the go.
