Why we're building Proveam
Most bookkeeping apps were designed for one person: the business owner. They assume the record belongs to the seller, while the customer gets a slip of paper, a screenshot or a PDF.
Nobody asked: what if the real problem isn't bookkeeping, but trust and proof?
What that means
Bookkeeping solves the inside of a business. It tells the owner their stock, expenses and profit. It leaves the customer out completely.
The real pain is memory nobody can check. Most disputes don't happen because someone can't do the maths. They happen because the business and the customer remember a price, a credit or a payment differently, or lose track of part-payments over time.
Proof has to belong to both sides. A record only ends an argument if both sides have the same numbers at the same moment. If only one side holds the record, or can change it, it isn't proof. It's one person's word.
So Proveam starts from a different idea: a record of a sale or payment should be shared, current, and impossible for either side to change quietly.
One record, two copies
Proveam keeps a business and its customer on the same record, so "he said, she said" never starts.
- One record both sides keep. Every sale, part-payment and balance lives on Proveam, and both sides see it. Nobody can change or erase a past entry. A mistake is cancelled with a new entry, and both sides see that too.
- Receipts on WhatsApp. Customers get every receipt, invoice and payment update on WhatsApp, under their phone number. No app, no password, no sign-up.
- Every receipt in one place. Every receipt a customer gets, from every business on Proveam, is kept together under their number.
- One number for buying and selling. A business that sells to customers also buys from suppliers. When those suppliers use Proveam, what they buy shows up next to what they sell, under the same number: what they owe and what they're owed, in one place.
- "Not correct" in one tap. If a customer thinks an entry is wrong, they say so straight away. The fix is a new entry, never a quiet edit.
- Payments that prove themselves. When a customer pays through Proveam, the payment is recorded by itself and marked Verified: proof from the money, not just the seller's word.
Who it's for
Businesses that sell on credit or let customers pay small small. Schools collecting fees over a term. Landlords collecting rent and deposits. And every customer, parent and tenant who wants proof of what they've paid, free.
