Spotlight: How Akua Stopped Waiting in the Dark for Her Order
Akua used to wait in silence, unsure when her dress would be ready. Boafuo now sends real-time updates from her tailor, giving her honest progress, clear delivery dates, and peace of mind throughout every order.

2025
“I used to worry every time I dropped off fabric. Not because I didn’t trust my tailor, but because I never knew what was happening after that.”
For Akua, the waiting was the hardest part.
She’d hand over her fabric, pay her deposit, and leave feeling hopeful, only for the silence to stretch for days. Calling too often made her feel pushy; staying quiet made her anxious.
“One time, I needed a dress for my cousin’s wedding,” she said. “I dropped everything off early and waited two weeks before calling. The response was, ‘I’m still working on it.’ Nothing more. No timeline. No clarity.”
The sewing was never the problem. The uncertainty was.
Meet Akua
Akua is a young professional living in Accra. Between work and family commitments, she values communication that’s clear and reliable.
“I trusted my tailor’s skill,” she said, “but I needed to trust her timing too.”
When She Found Boafuo
That’s when Akua found Boafuo, a WhatsApp-native assistant that gives real updates automatically.
Now, when her tailor moves her dress from one stage to another, Akua receives a message in chat.
Fabric cut. Sewing started. Ready for fitting.
If she ever feels unsure, she just types “Where is my order?”
Boafuo instantly replies with the latest progress.
No awkward follow-ups. No uncertainty. Just clarity.
Inside the Feature
Here’s how Boafuo makes it happen:
The tailor logs or updates the order inside the Boafuo chat.
Boafuo timestamps the update and syncs it with the client.
Clients get automatic WhatsApp notifications whenever progress changes.
If they ask for status, Boafuo replies instantly with the latest stage.
The result: no manual messaging, no miscommunication; just shared awareness.
What Changed for Her
“It’s not that I expect perfection,” Akua said. “I just want to know what’s happening. Now I don’t have to ask twice. I feel respected, informed, and relaxed.”
Boafuo didn’t change how her tailor sews; it changed how Akua feels while waiting.
How Boafuo Keeps Evolving
Boafuo started with one mission: to remove the guesswork from tailoring.
Now it’s evolving into a complete workspace for modern tailors.
