Built by a Business Owner, for Business Owners

NegoTinda started because Aldrin couldn't find software that fit his grocery store. So he built it himself. Today it helps thousands of Filipino SMBs.

The Problem Was Real

Aldrin Vacal ran a grocery store in the Philippines. He juggled paper receipts, multiple spreadsheets, and a POS system that cost more than his rent.

Existing tools were either too expensive, too complex, or built for Western markets. Nothing worked for a sari-sari store, a carinderia, or a small salon.

So he built NegoTinda — free, mobile-first, and powered by Google Sheets (something every Filipino business already uses).
