Gift card trading in Nigeria has grown rapidly over the past few years. Many people now prefer to exchange unused gift cards for cash. It gives them the freedom to spend the money however they want.

Teams are overworked, users get frustrated, and opportunities are missed. It’s the digital version of trying to run a Formula 1 car with bicycle parts.
Enter data orchestration. This isn’t just another IT buzzword—it’s the silent engine that’s powering...
