In today’s fast‑paced economy, the ability to make informed decisions can make or break a business. As a young woman straddling both the fashion and technology worlds, I’ve learnt that data isn’t just for analysts in boardrooms; it’s for every entrepreneur, every team, and every dreamer determined to grow strategically.
While fashion will always be part of me, I chose not to limit myself and joined Mugonat Systems as a Business Development Officer. Transitioning into software felt like stepping into another universe, yet I soon realised that both fashion and tech thrive on the same core principle: understanding people—and that is precisely what data helps us do.
At Mugonat Systems, we empower organisations to unlock insight through data analytics. Take a boutique store in Borrowdale. The owner might assume sales spike only during holidays, but with the right data she sees which products sell, when, and to whom. Armed with that knowledge, she can optimise inventory, refine marketing campaigns, and ultimately increase profit.
Consider a small private school in Greendale. By analysing attendance patterns and performance metrics, the school can introduce tailored interventions, adjust its calendar, and improve engagement strategies leading to better outcomes for learners and educators alike.
These are not high‑tech corporations; they are everyday businesses operating within our communities—businesses that flourish when they look beyond the surface.
From suburbs in Harare, I see potential all around me. Hair salons could track peak booking hours, pharmacies could monitor which medicines move fastest, and local bakeries could manage stock more efficiently by watching customer demand. The beauty of modern software is that it is accessible, intuitive, and tailored to local needs.
My path into this world wasn’t traditional. I never had an IT background. What I did and still have is a mindset that refuses to be boxed in. Working at Mugonat Systems has shown me the power of merging creativity with strategy, and how data, used correctly, is a genuine growth tool,not just a buzzword.
To every young woman out there who is passionate about something, remember this: you don’t have to choose only one path. You can design clothes and design business solutions. You can love style and master software. Most importantly, you can break every limit that ever tried to define you
