As the group also grows, the paperwork grows into mountains of records. Digitizing your chama makes it easy to access the required information in matter of seconds keeping track of all the member contributions, loans and fines, as well as h overall chama financial standing. Digichama has a simple dashboard panel that allows for easy navigation to the specified section required.
