An example system on sample data. It is interactive: open the tabs, rows and filters.

The problem we solve.

When customers, partners or citizens can do it themselves, online, at any hour, your organisation grows without growing the queue. We build platforms that are easy for first-time users, secure enough for sensitive data, and fast on an ordinary phone.

Before

  • Queues at the counter, paper forms, and customers calling to ask where their request is.

After

  • Customers and partners doing it themselves online, at any hour, with every request tracked to a decision.

What we build.

For banks and insurers, utilities, public bodies, associations, universities and companies with many customers or members.

Ask a question
Can the platform handle many users at once?

Yes. We build on infrastructure that scales automatically, test under load, and serve pages from a global network with a data centre in Addis Ababa.

How do you protect sensitive personal data?

Encryption in transit and at rest, strict roles, audit logs, and personal data collected only where it is needed, in line with Ethiopia’s Personal Data Protection Proclamation.
