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.
Customer and operations dashboards with backend services for parcel lifecycles, tracking events and notifications, built for high-throughput transactional workflows.
Direct ordering and order management: menus, orders, payments and fulfilment, with automated order intake and status updates that cut merchants' operational overhead.
