📢 #EventRecap: 𝐁𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 & 𝐃𝐚𝐭𝐚 𝐀𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐲𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐬 𝐌𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐜𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐬

Last week, we held a Business Intelligence & Data Analytics Masterclass. The session brought together fintech executives and technical professionals for a hands-on experience focused on turning data into better decisions, improved performance, and sustainable growth.

The masterclass was facilitated by three practitioners drawn from Uganda’s fintech and digital finance ecosystem, blending strategy, analytics, and real-world application. The conversation emphasized the importance of getting the fundamentals right, especially clean and structured data collection, because everything else depends on it.

Participants were also challenged to rethink their approach to AI, not as a future concept but as a present necessity, with the reminder that while AI is powerful, it still requires human understanding and validation to be effective.

As Zerubabel Kwebiiha noted, “Data is supposed to tell us what we don’t know. There is so much data that is not utilized. As a fintech, make sure your data collection is smooth and clean. If you do not use AI, you miss out. Everyone you are competing against is using it. It is you who loses out.”

The session also highlighted several critical ideas for executives. Data must be treated as a core business asset rather than a cost. Organizations need a single source of truth to guide decision making. Maturity in data use means moving beyond reporting to prescriptive insights. Just as important is building data literacy across teams, because tools alone do not create value, and fostering a culture where evidence based decisions are prioritized, even when they challenge assumptions.

At the heart of the discussions was a simple but important question. Is your organization effective in how it uses data, and efficient in how easily that data can be used?

Through interactive sessions, participants explored what truly prevents organizations from becoming data driven, how to structure a data ready fintech, and which decisions must always be backed by data. The masterclass also walked through the evolution of the analyst toolkit, from spreadsheets to business intelligence platforms, SQL, and AI assisted tools, and introduced a practical five question framework that can be applied to any data problem.

As @FitspaUG, we appreciate the facilitators, Zerubabel Junior Kwebiiha, Brian Paul Katimbo, and Joseph Bwete, and all participants who contributed to the rich discussions and insights.

Through our five pillars, @FitspaUG aims to support Uganda’s bid to become a fintech hub by building a community that innovates and develops solutions to spur growth in the digital financial sector, increase access to affordable and inclusive financial services, and enhance the industry's capacity to deliver innovative solutions that meet customer needs.

@PatonsOcira @pay_uga Who are your primary customers? It looks like a system for service based businesses not product based businesses.

[Patons Ocira @PatonsOcira]

@patienceanks @pay_uga Both are served: product based businesses can use the POS, Inventory, Purchase, Assets modules etc that service based businesses can also utilize.

There are more modules available like full double entry accounting, HR etc

[Patience Ankunda @patienceanks]

@PatonsOcira @pay_uga Okay, Can it connect to my bank account to collect transactional data or I have to upload the bank statements for the accounting bit?

You’ll spend 6 months waiting for a POS machine from our banks. And then after you just give up and use Kenyan merchants.
