The problem

An Android app that drives picking and packing for warehouse and fulfilment operations.
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.
South African legal information is scattered across portals with limited keyword search, while international e-discovery platforms are often priced beyond the local market.
