We know many small business owners waited for grants approvals, and developers because they didn't know that FirstSite cost less (even without grant support) and performs better. In 2021, many of them will be be paying for expensive renewals that they can't afford even as the economy recovers.

We need your help to tell a business owner you know that they can just start winnning in 2021 by starting in 2020.

If you have helped at least 5 businesses* from now through the whole of 2021, we would like to offer you a token gift in appreciation for your efforts.

If you are thinking that innovation requires a lot of budget or technical capabilities. It does not. Innovation can be as simple as finding an easy solution to solve a problem.

Hackorgana is one such organisation. Formed in June this year, Hackoragna is a cooperative set up to help small business owners in Madagascar access new markets and opportunities in the new landscape. Over a weekend, we conducted a virtual hackathon using FirstSite to create a new ecommerce platform that levarages FirstSite's omnichannel capabilities.

15 teams participated in the first HacKoragnaDesign organized by Hackoragna in partnership with Orange Telecom and 8 Connect. The Hackers came from Singapore, Morocco, France and Madagascar. Event was done in Malagasy, French and English.

No code barriers, no language barriers, no problem too hard to solve.

During a visit at one of our favorite restaurants, we found that the QR menus stuck on the table loaded a PDF document that was barely readable on the mobile device.

The team set out to fix that problem.

If your favorite restaurant/bar has those annoying QR menus that open up pdf images that are only for the eagle eyed. Perhaps they were trying to save on cost for a QR based menu and ordering system.

Do tell them that there is a free QR menu system. QRonly.com. It allows them to manage menu and orders on a free to use system that is friendly on  mobile devices. It's a more friendly and usable way for us to wine and dine at their establishment.
