Trident Launches "Sikaflow" to Bring 2 Million Ghanaian MSMEs Into the Digital Economy

 

ACCRA, Ghana — In a major move to modernize Ghana's bustling informal economy, Nasdaq-listed digital infrastructure holding company Trident Digital Tech (NASDAQ: TDTH) has officially announced the launch of Sikaflow. Deployed through a 50/50 joint venture named Trident Aliska Digital Tech Ghana Ltd, the platform is targeted directly at the country's micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs)—a powerhouse sector that accounts for roughly 80% of all national employment.  

For years, millions of successful Ghanaian entrepreneurs and traders have been shut out of traditional banking systems, unable to access secure loans simply because they lack formal paperwork or verifiable transaction histories. Sikaflow is engineered to completely eliminate this barrier by turning basic, day-to-day business actions into structured digital financial records. Every time a user logs a sale, checks inventory, or receives a payment through the platform, the system automatically builds a secure, verifiable business footprint. This verified history can then be used by local business owners to unlock lines of credit, secure stronger terms with suppliers, and prove eligibility for financial services that were previously out of reach.  

Recognizing local operating challenges, Sikaflow has been built with an all-inclusive framework. It packages digital point-of-sale (POS) systems, automated tax reporting compliant with local laws, inventory management, and basic accounting tools into a single ecosystem. Crucially, the system features offline-capable functionalities and is fully accessible via Android, iOS, Web, POS terminals, and USSD channels. By allowing market women and small retailers to manage their entire storefront by dialing a simple shortcode without needing internet data, Sikaflow is bridging the gap between cash-in-hand trading and modern digital finance.
