The problem
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.
Integrated the installer management system into Multichoice's payment process so installers are paid accurately and on time.
Centralised the customer journey and operational data, reduced manual hand-offs and set up a documented AWS foundation.
