Baked with love and building communities from scratch – Bake Well is for bakers!

Introduction

Meet Amina, a 39-year-old baker who hails from a family of bakers. Her knowledge and love for baking is evident as she uses heirloom recipes to date. But her passion alone was not enough to sustain her family. Amina needed help to make her passion profitable. Like Amina, close to 16,000 passionate and hardworking bakers in Nigeria, Ghana, Senegal, and Cameroon needed to learn how to stay profitable.

 

Bake Well is a solution created in collaboration with MINDSPRINT and Olam Agri. The mobile app empowers entrepreneurs like Amina and the 16,000 bakers across the West African region. Bake Well provides a transparent service channel, a profitable and viable business, and an innovative daily engagement platform that gives her baking tips.

 

Bake Well stands as an exceptional digital solution tailored for bakers like Amina, providing an encompassing resource hub that covers all aspects of baking. This dynamic productivity tool empowers bakers with plentiful resources and knowledge, elevating their skills and profitability. Operating as a seamless, contactless support system, it streamlines the process of complaint management for bakers. When prompted to encapsulate Bake Well in a solitary word, bakers invariably opt for "Transparent" – a resounding tribute to its inherent authenticity. 

 

Building a baker-friendly world

Bake Well was created keeping in mind the following challenges faced by bakers:

 

  • Lack of access to modern equipment and technology, which hindered the productivity and profitability of the baking community in West Africa.
  • The need to streamline the process of addressing and resolving complaints for product-related challenges.
  • A need for real-time and on-time information with zero hindrance to daily baking operations.

 

 

Three Main Takeaways

3. Bake Well’s user interface and consumer-grade user experience have transformed sales operations by streamlining processes, capturing orders, facilitating test baking creations, and providing easy access to reports and analytics.
