The problem
Direct ordering and order management: menus, orders, payments and fulfilment, with automated order intake and status updates that cut merchants' operational overhead.
Customer and operations dashboards with backend services for parcel lifecycles, tracking events and notifications, built for high-throughput transactional workflows.
A WhatsApp-based job platform (Altur), Harambee Youth Accelerator's move from a mobisite to WhatsApp, and eButler's WhatsApp ordering with payments through Flash.
