We build it. We operate it. We keep it running smoothly.
Your business runs on this software. We build it to keep your operations smooth for years after launch.
We operate the products we build—nunuza and ChamaMa. When one hiccups, we’re the ones who feel it first. That responsibility changes how you write every line of code.
What we build
Payments systems. Money movement that never loses a transaction. Full audit trail. Real-time settlement. Built so transactions balance, always.
Ledger and accounting. Double-entry systems that close cleanly and reliably, every time. Month-end closes are straightforward.
Marketplaces and order matching. Real-time matching, order management, escrow settlement. Built to handle sudden traffic spikes.
Scheduling and resource optimization. The hard scheduling problems—universities, hospitals, logistics—where the simple solutions don’t work.
High-reliability backends. Systems that don’t fall over when load spikes, because we build them to survive real-world chaos from day one.
These are the patterns we’ve built and operated ourselves. If your system depends on the same things (money, balances, uptime) but doesn’t fit neatly into one of these categories, that’s still exactly the kind of problem we take on.
Why hire us
We operate our own products. nunuza and ChamaMa are live right now with real users depending on them. When something breaks, we’re the ones fixing it at 2 AM. That experience—the weight of production responsibility—shows up in every line of code we write for you.
Proven technology, built to last. We use tools with a long track record instead of chasing frameworks. The code you inherit won’t need a rewrite when the next framework hype cycle hits.
We understand East Africa. We’re building for it, selling to it, operating in it. We know mobile-first, unreliable connectivity, payment systems that matter, and scaling on tight margins.
You see the code. Walk through how we built nunuza, or how ChamaMa handles concurrency at scale. You’ll understand the tradeoffs we made and why.
We live with the consequences. If our products have a bad day, so do we. That alignment—your operations are our operations—creates the right incentives.
How it works
Discovery (2 weeks): We understand your problem, constraints, and success metrics. You understand our approach.
Design: We map the business process before writing code, so the system fits how you work instead of the other way around.
Build (6–16 weeks, typically): We build in 2-week sprints. You see progress every two weeks. We adjust based on reality as the project unfolds.
Operations (ongoing): We hand over clean, documented code. Or we run it for you. Your choice.
Cost: We charge for time and expertise based on what the work requires, typically $50–150K depending on scope. That keeps our incentives aligned with getting the system right.
