<200msAPI response
0Security incidents

The Challenge

The client was processing payments through a third-party app with high fees, no audit trail, and no ability to reconcile transactions with their core banking system.

What We Built

A custom payment gateway with MTN Mobile Money and Vodafone Cash integration, real-time transaction reconciliation, fraud detection rules engine, and a merchant dashboard with exportable reports.

Security Measures

  • End-to-end TLS 1.3 encryption on all API calls
  • Tokenised card data — no raw PAN stored
  • IP allowlisting and rate limiting on merchant APIs
  • Full audit log with tamper-evident hashing

The Challenge

Operations ran on a patchwork of Excel sheets, WhatsApp messages, and a decade-old accounting package. Stock discrepancies were discovered weeks after the fact.

What We Built

A unified web-based ERP with real-time inventory sync across branches, payroll management, supplier purchase orders, and automated financial dashboards exportable to PDF and Excel.

Security Measures

  • Role-based access — cashiers, managers, admins, finance all see different data

The Challenge

Following an industry-wide wave of account takeovers in West Africa, the client needed an independent security assessment before a regulatory audit.

Field Agent Tracking App

Cross-platform mobile app for a microfinance institution to manage 150+ field loan officers — GPS check-ins, offline-first data capture, and real-time dashboard for supervisors.

150+Field agents
OfflineFirst architecture
40%Faster loan processing

The Challenge

Field agents operated in areas with no reliable internet. Paper-based data capture led to errors, delays, and fraud. Management had no real-time visibility into agent activity.

What We Built

A Flutter app that syncs data when connectivity is available and stores everything locally when it isn't. Includes GPS-stamped visit records, photo capture, e-signature for loan agreements, and a web dashboard for supervisors.
