Conversational and Social Commerce
The transaction layer under your conversations
WhatsApp-first commerce has reached scale in Africa. Tracent is the routing layer that turns customer intent into a settled transaction, sitting under your platform rather than competing with it.
The bottleneck
WhatsApp-first conversational commerce has reached real scale in Africa. Sukhiba serves more than 35,000 SMEs across eight markets; Chpter operates in fourteen African countries. But every conversational platform now needs to route customer intent into an actual transaction across fragmented rails.
Building that routing layer per-rail, per-platform, is slow and security-sensitive. It is also not where a conversational commerce platform's differentiation lives; the differentiation is in the conversation, not the plumbing underneath it.
How Tracent helps
- Backend API routing that translates natural-language intent into secure NIBSS transfers or M-Pesa API executions.
- Per-message WhatsApp Business pricing optimisation, maximising free-service-window usage to keep billing down.
- NDPA-compliant PII handling for customer transaction data, with redaction before any LLM call.
- Usage-based pricing aligned with how conversational commerce platforms price their own customers.
We are infrastructure, not a competitor
Sukhiba and Chpter are the kind of platform Tracent serves, not the kind it competes with. Tracent sits underneath a conversational commerce platform as the transaction-routing and compliance layer; the customer relationship, the conversation, and the brand stay with the platform.
