Sub-Saharan Africa

Built for phones, mobile money and weak signal.

We work with farms and mines, telecoms, fintechs, clinics and nonprofits across the region. Most of your customers reach you on a phone, often on a slow or expensive connection, so what we build is light, works offline and syncs when it can.

// working with us

How it works from here.

01

Hours set around yours

We set our working hours around yours, so you reach us when it suits you.

02

Contracts and language

Our terms, master services agreement and estimator are published in English, French, Spanish, German and Urdu. Calls are held in English on Microsoft Teams, booked from our calendar with the times shown in your own time zone.

03

Money and invoices

Prices are worked out in Canadian dollars from our published rate card, with US dollars beside them as a conversion. Invoices are in Canadian dollars, with no Canadian sales tax for a client billed outside Canada, and you pay by card, wire transfer or USDC, as our terms set out.

04

Where your data lives

Name South Africa in the estimator and we host in Cape Town; elsewhere you choose the nearest region that suits you, often South Africa or Europe.

// questions

What buyers here ask us.

Is there anyone you cannot work with?

Every client is checked against the Canadian, US, UN and EU sanctions lists when they sign. If you are in a country listed on this page, you can start a project with us.

Can we see prices in our own currency?

This page shows US dollars beside the Canadian figure. Our rate card holds no rate for most other currencies, so we do not invent one; your bank or card converts at payment.

Can you connect to mobile money?

Where the provider publishes an API for businesses, yes. We check what your provider allows before we quote and say so if it does not.

// next step

Tell us what you need.

A short description is enough. We reply with questions, a range and a time to talk.
