The problem
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.
Small teams stitch together disconnected tools for websites, customer communication, content, analytics and operations, while generic AI assistants lack safe access to business context and actions.
