About LightMarket

LightMarket is a South African lighting, electrical, and solar retailer and wholesaler serving both retail and trade customers nationwide. They supply LED lighting, electrical components, solar systems, and smart home products for homes, businesses, and trade projects, alongside their own brands like Bing Light and AfriSolar built for quality and value. As a family run business with decades of experience, LightMarket has grown through trust, technical expertise, and long term customer relationships, with a strong focus on innovation and scalable systems as they expand across South Africa.

The Challenge

With multiple branches and a wide product range, keeping stock accurate, tracking performance, and aligning systems across locations became harder. They needed a solution that could support growth without adding complexity.

How Hike Helps

It gives LightMarket one connected view of the business, making it easier to manage branches, track performance, and stay organised as they grow.

These are the features LightMarket values the most:

  • Branch wide visibility Every location is connected, making it easy to oversee performance across the network.
  • Live stock control Inventory updates instantly, helping teams manage fast moving and technical products with confidence.
  • Performance tracking Clear reports show sales, margins, and growth without complicated data.
  • Seamless integrations Connects with tools like Shopify and Xero so sales, stock, and accounts stay in sync.
  • Anywhere access Being cloud based means managers can check in on the business anytime, from anywhere.

The Result

LightMarket now runs with structure and confidence. Teams work more smoothly, leaders make faster decisions, and customers get reliable service every time. With the right systems in place, LightMarket is set to keep expanding and shaping the future of lighting and energy solutions in South Africa.

About Mondo

Mondo Clothing is one of Nigeria’s most respected fashion brands, known for premium menswear and modern style. With multiple stores across major cities, Mondo serves customers who value quality, confidence, and consistency. Founded as a single store focused on quality and service, the brand has grown into a multi location business trusted by thousands every month. As Mondo expanded, more products, more staff, and more customers meant operations had to become smarter and more connected.

The Challenge

Managing stock across stores, tracking sales accurately, and keeping checkout fast became harder as Mondo expanded. Each location felt disconnected, and getting clear reports took time.

How Hike Helps

It brings all of Mondo’s stores into one system, fixing disconnected operations, slow reporting, and long checkout times. Everything updates in real time, giving the team control, clarity, and speed across every location.

These are the features Mondo values the most:

  • Multi store control in real time All locations run on one system. Sales, stock, and staff activity update instantly, giving managers a clear view of every store at once.
  • Live inventory tracking Stock is always accurate. Mondo sees what’s selling fast, moves items between stores easily, and avoids running out or overstocking.
  • Faster checkout Billing is quick and smooth, even at peak hours. Shorter lines mean better customer experience and more sales.
  • Simple for staff Easy to learn and easy to use, helping staff work faster with fewer mistakes.
  • Clear useful reports Real time insights on sales, products, and staff help Mondo plan better and grow smarter.

The Result

Today, Mondo operates as one strong, connected brand. Customers enjoy faster service, staff work with confidence, and managers make decisions using live data. With the right system behind them, Mondo is set to keep growing, serving more customers, and leading the fashion retail space in Nigeria.
