Software and systems, made simple.
We build and run the systems East African teams depend on every day - turning scattered spreadsheets, disconnected tools and manual month-ends into one calm operation that simply works.

Our expertise
Six ways we take the complexity off your desk
Pick the one that sounds like your problem. Most engagements end up touching two or three.
Most teams do not need more software - they need one system that matches how they already work. We map the real process first, cut what nobody uses, then build the smallest thing that removes the daily friction. You get an application your staff can learn in an afternoon.
Explore custom softwareAccounting in one place, stock in another, mobile money in a third, and somebody re-typing all of it at month end. We connect what you already own so the numbers move on their own - with reconciliation you can audit and alerts when something does not line up.
Explore systems integrationBuilt for the networks people actually have. Screens that load on a slow 3G connection, forms that keep working when the signal drops and sync the moment it returns, and interfaces that make sense on the phones your customers own.
Explore web & mobile appsStart with the boring part: one trustworthy source of numbers. From there we build the dashboards managers open every morning, forecasts that help you buy the right stock, and automation that takes the repetitive judgement calls off people who have better things to do.
Explore data & aiHosting that stays up, deployments that are boring, and backups somebody has actually restored from. We set up the pipeline, the monitoring and the alerting, then show your team how to run it - no lock-in, no mystery box.
Explore cloud & devopsA full IT function on a predictable monthly fee: a helpdesk your staff can reach, devices that are set up and patched, new joiners ready on day one, and someone whose job it is to notice problems before you do.
Explore managed it & supportWhy teams choose us
Close enough to understand the problem. Rigorous enough to fix it.
We are a Tanzanian company. We know what it costs when the network drops, when the regulator asks for a report, and when the person who understood the spreadsheet leaves.
Systems we have built that are still in use today.
How long you wait for a reply when you write to us.
How often you see the thing working, from the first month.
What the first call and the written recommendation cost.

Contributing to the success
What clients say
“They spent the first week in our warehouse before writing anything. That is why the system fits - it was built around what we already do, not around what a developer imagined we do.”
Operations Director, distribution
“Month-end used to take five days and two arguments. It now takes an afternoon, and the numbers agree with the bank. Worth every shilling.”
Finance Manager, logistics
“What I value most is that they answer. When something breaks at 7am, somebody picks up and it is fixed before the day starts properly.”
Managing Director, professional services

Common questions
Questions about working with us
No. We are registered and based in Tanzania and most of our work is here, but we deliver across East Africa and work remotely with clients further afield. Contracts can be in Tanzanian shillings or US dollars.
A focused internal tool or integration is typically four to eight weeks. A full custom platform is three to six months, delivered in stages so you have something usable early rather than waiting for one big launch.
We always start with a short discovery - usually one to two weeks - so the estimate you get is based on your actual process, not a guess.
You do. Source code, infrastructure accounts and data are yours, handed over in your own repositories and cloud accounts. We do not hold your business hostage, and we will happily brief an in-house team taking over.
Often, yes. We start with a short technical review to see what is there, what it will cost to keep running, and whether supporting it or replacing it is the better use of your money. We will tell you honestly if it is the latter.
Every build comes with a warranty period, then an optional support plan covering monitoring, fixes, updates and a helpdesk your staff can reach. Our pricing page sets out what each tier includes.
Projects are milestone-based: an initial payment to start discovery, then payments tied to delivered stages. Retainers are billed monthly in advance. We invoice in TZS or USD, and we are happy to work with your procurement process.
