Core operating systems

The system your organisation actually runs on.

Most Rwandan institutions run on spreadsheets, WhatsApp groups, paper files and one person who remembers how it all works. Foreign off-the-shelf software assumes another country's rules, another country's currency, another country's regulator — and costs more to bend than to replace.

HOW YOU KNOW

You have this problem if…

If none of these sound like your organisation, this is probably not the domain you need — and we will say so rather than sell you into it.

  • !Two people spend most of the week reconciling spreadsheets that disagree
  • !Nobody can answer "how much stock / cash / open cases do we have right now" without making phone calls
  • !Your report to the regulator or the donor is assembled by hand every quarter
  • !The system you bought abroad is being worked around, not used
WHAT WE BUILD

Systems we have built in this domain.

WHO ARRIVES WITH THIS

Banks, SACCOs and microfinance. Insurers. Hospitals and clinics. Distributors and manufacturers. Government agencies and large NGOs.

  • Loan, member and savings management for SACCOs, MFIs and lenders
  • Policy administration and claims processing for insurers
  • Patient records, scheduling and billing for clinics and hospitals
  • Inventory, warehousing and multi-branch distribution
  • Dispatch, fleet and field-operations control
  • Case management for public agencies and development programmes
  • Role-based access, approval chains and audit trails that satisfy an auditor
TYPICAL STACK

The stack is a consequence of the problem, not a preference. Where you already run something else, we work in what you have rather than forcing a rewrite you did not ask for.

HOW IT RUNS

Scoped before it is priced. Written down before it is built.

Every engagement in this domain starts the same way: a paid technical discovery that ends in an architecture, a fixed scope and a fixed price. You own that document either way.

01

Technical discovery

1–3 weeks · Fixed fee

Every engagement that involves building something new. This is where we start.

02

Fixed-scope build

Scoped in discovery · Milestone-based

A defined system with a clear boundary: a core platform, a payments engine, a mobile product.

03

Embedded engineering

Monthly, rolling · Per engineer, per month

Organisations with a technical team that needs depth, speed or a skill they do not have in-house.

04

Run & evolve

Ongoing · Monthly, under an SLA

Any system the organisation now depends on, whether we built it or inherited it.
