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