Prometheus ERP
Promatics' own ERP on open-source ERPNext: industry editions, Nigerian configuration, delivered and supported by Promatics.
Industries
ERP, eCommerce and IT for Nigerian distributors and retailers
Commerce is customer-centric, digital-first and demands new capabilities faster than ever. We help distributors and retailers simplify both ends: the customer experience and the systems behind it.
Challenges we see
More channels and tighter margins, for distributors, wholesalers and retailers of every size.
Untrusted inventory
Warehouse, stores and online shop disagree: overselling, or stock sitting unused.
Unconnected channels
POS, eCommerce, marketplaces, EDI and accounting apart; orders and adjustments re-keyed.
Hidden import costs
Freight, duty, clearing charges and exchange-rate swings on dollar-priced goods not allocated.
Batches and returns
Lot and expiry tracking for regulated or perishable goods; returns pile up.
Guesswork reordering
Someone notices low stock, instead of rules and sales history.
Store tech and power
Terminals, Wi-Fi and PCs secured, supported and kept running through grid outages.

Nigerian regulatory and operating context
| Area | What applies |
|---|---|
| Taxes | VAT (7.5 %) correct by product and customer, withholding tax, and records the Nigeria Revenue Service and state revenue services can audit. |
| Importing | Nigeria Customs Service duties and clearance: landed costs, tariff classifications and clearing-agent data should flow into the ERP. AfCFTA and ECOWAS trade adds its own documentation. |
| Currency | Dollar-priced stock and imports put exchange-rate changes straight into cost and margin; record the rate on each transaction. |
| Traceability | Food, drugs, cosmetics and other regulated goods may need lot tracking and recall readiness under NAFDAC rules, built on accurate batch and expiry records. |
| Cards and privacy | PCI DSS for card payments; the NDPA 2023 for customer data; NDPA consent rules and NCC rules on unsolicited messages for promotions. |
