Is Smilelink built for your business?
We'd rather tell you plainly than have you find out in week three. Here is every kind of business we support in Nigeria, what we've built specifically for it, and where we fall short.

Works, with gaps
Usable today, with something specific to your trade that we don't do yet. We list the gap so you can decide.
- Logistics & dispatch
We don't do route optimisation or a rider marketplace. Your own riders, waybills and cash reconciliation work today.
- Pharmacy (retail side)
The retail counter works. Prescriptions, patient records and controlled-drug registers are not ours — that is regulated clinical data and we don't hold it.
- Mechanic & auto repair
No job cards yet, so parts and labour against one repair are tracked as an invoice rather than a work order. Quotes, parts stock and payments work.
- Laundry & dry cleaning
No per-garment tagging or collection tickets yet. Pickups, drop-offs, payments and customer history work.
- Car wash
No bay or queue board yet. Bookings, walk-ins, staff commission and payments work.
- Gym & fitness studio
Recurring memberships and class capacity aren't built. Sessions, trainers, payments and client history work.
- Printing press
No artwork proofing or plate tracking. Quotes, deposits, deadlines and delivery work.
- Signage & furniture maker
Production stages aren't modelled, so a half-finished job shows as an open order. Deposits, deadlines and delivery work.
- Cybercafé & business centre
No per-machine timing or session billing. Services, printing jobs and payments work.

More than one business under one roof?
A hotel with a restaurant. A caterer who also does weekday office lunches. A designer with a ready-to-wear line. Add both — one brand, one wallet, one set of books, both sets of tools.
What we don't take on, and why
- Clinics, dispensing pharmacies, labs and diagnostics
- Patient and prescription data is sensitive-class health information with its own regulatory posture. A pharmacy's retail side is supported; the clinical side is not.
- Schools and colleges, as institutions
- Fee collection is a plausible future play. School management is a crowded category and a different product.
- Financial services, lenders and bureaux de change
- Licensed activities. Onboarding them creates a compliance surface the platform is not built for.
- Betting, gambling and adult services
- Acceptable-use policy.
- Anything requiring a licence we cannot verify
- Our checks cannot underwrite what they cannot check.

Tell us what you do. Every unmatched trade is recorded, and that list is how we decide what to build next — not a planning session.
Why we publish the gaps
A pharmacy can run its retail side on Smilelink and cannot track prescriptions. Saying so loses a signup that would have left in three weeks, and it is the only reason to believe the rest of this page.
