This impressive figure in a tough business environment was confirmed by founder, Johannes Natangwe Ngwena, a qualified Information Technology (IT) technician with six years of experience in the IT industry. Ngwena said since the company commenced operations it has become one of the fast growing SME service providers in Namibia.

He added the business also supplied computer hardware services and stationery part of its administration solutions mandate. 

“Most of the beneficiaries of Tangwe’s Trading inventory management and administration solutions are SMEs, which proved to be one of the developmental goals. This has brought order and sustainability to start-ups, as they can have total control over their inventory,” Ngwena explained. 

He noted that the most significant part of Tangwe’s core business has been technological education as SMEs are trained how the POS systems work including all aspects from hardware to the graphic user interface.
