The problem
A hairdresser, osteopath or guesthouse in Tahiti manages their business with a notebook for appointments, WhatsApp for reservations, Excel for invoicing. When they look for software, they find French or American tools that don't know XPF, Polynesian TGC tax, the Tahiti number or the trade license — and charge for features they don't need.
The approach
Software built around three angles: locally adapted (XPF, TGC, Tahiti number, trade license, tabs), modular (a restaurant doesn't need appointments, an osteopath doesn't need a register), accessible (the base account is free, no credit card required). Each merchant only sees what they need, and only pays for what they use.
Key decisions
Target an ignored market, not a saturated one
Small Polynesian merchants don't have software that looks like them. No need to convince anyone the problem exists: just be there, with the right tool.
Freemium by necessity, not by trend
In a market where most merchants have never used management software, asking for a credit card upfront is a fatal barrier. Free isn't a concession, it's the condition for adoption.
Modular to fit real use cases
A restaurant owner doesn't have the same needs as an osteopath or a guesthouse. Forcing everyone into the same tool is what generalists do. Feenua does the opposite.

What I learned
Tools that truly change people's lives aren't necessarily the most complex. An invoice sent in 30 seconds, a client balance visible at a glance: that's what makes a difference for a merchant in Papeete. The real value isn't in the technology, it's in the precision of the context it addresses.
