Production software for African businesses
We're an engineering-led studio shipping real systems — multi-tenant fintech, offline-first POS, accounting SaaS, ERP platforms — to SMEs, SACCOs, and ISPs across East Africa. Not prototypes. Live products with real users.
What we build
Six categories. One studio. Every line of code in-house.
ERP & management systems
Multi-tenant platforms for finance, HR, inventory, and operations. Custom workflows your off-the-shelf tool can't model.
Mobile apps (iOS + Android)
React Native + Expo for fast cross-platform delivery, or native Swift/Kotlin where the use case demands it.
POS & inventory desktop
Offline-first desktop apps with Electron + Go. Built for retailers where the till never waits for the internet.
Fintech & loan platforms
KYC, repayments, partner reporting, mobile-money rails. Strict tenant isolation when SACCOs share the same system.
Internal tooling & dashboards
Admin panels, reporting suites, ops dashboards. Replaces the spreadsheet that runs your business.
API platforms & integrations
Payment gateways, SMS rails, third-party stitch-ups. Production APIs that other teams build on top of.

How we work
Five steps from kickoff to handover
- 01
Discovery & scope
We sit with the founder or operations lead, walk the current workflow, and write down what the system has to do. You get a written scope document, not a Gantt chart.
- 02
Architecture & estimate
We pick the stack, model the data, and break the build into milestones with prices in UGX. You approve before code is written.
- 03
Build in weekly cycles
Production-grade code from day one — typed everywhere, tested at the integration layer, reviewed by a senior engineer before merge.
- 04
Ship + train
We deploy to your infrastructure (or ours), train your team on the admin panel, and hand over written documentation.
- 05
6–12 months support
Bug fixes and small adjustments are included. After the support window we move to a small monthly retainer or hand off cleanly to your team.
Modern stack, boring choices
We pick technology you can hire for in 5 years

FAQ
Custom software in Uganda — answered
How do you price custom software in Uganda?
We price per milestone in UGX, not per hour. Starter projects begin around UGX 1.5M, mid-range systems around UGX 4M, and enterprise multi-tenant builds start at UGX 10M. Every quote ships with a written scope so you know exactly what's included.
Who owns the code?
You do. We hand over the full source code, the database, the deployment account, and the documentation. There's no lock-in and no licensing fee on top.
Can you integrate mobile money?
Yes — we built DGateway, the unified MTN MoMo + Airtel Money API used by 250+ apps. Your custom system can plug into it directly or integrate with whatever PSP you already use.
Do you maintain the system after launch?
6–12 months of bug-fix support is included with every tier. After that we move to a small monthly retainer (typically UGX 300K–800K) or hand off cleanly to your internal team.
How long does a typical project take?
Starter projects 4–6 weeks, professional 8–12 weeks, enterprise 12–20 weeks. We share weekly demos so you see progress every Friday — there are no 6-month black-box builds here.
