How we can help

Automate a task, build software, or hand us the day-to-day IT.

AI Automation

We set up one repetitive task — replies, reminders, or follow-ups — on the tools you already use. Start with a free 20-minute audit.

WhatsApp, SMS, email, web chat, voice, CRM or Google Sheets, and M-Pesa.

See how it works

Custom Software

We design and build software for your business. The price is quoted after a free call.

Websites, internal tools, and new products. We agree the work before we start.

Managed IT

Outsourced IT for the systems you already run. Quoted after a free assessment.

  • Backup & Disaster Recovery

    Copies of your files, and a plan to get them back if a laptop, server, or account fails.

  • Antivirus & Endpoint Protection

    Protection on the computers and phones your team uses, plus help when something looks wrong.

  • Firewall & Network Security

    A firewall and basic network checks so the office connection is harder to misuse.

  • Microsoft 365

    Setup, moving mail and files, licensing, and day-to-day support for Microsoft 365.

Illustrative examples

Example results

These are not client results and not testimonials. They show the shape of a workflow. We publish a quote only after a real client agrees.

  • Illustrative · Clinic

    Appointment reminders

    The front desk calls patients the afternoon before.

    A reminder goes out 24 hours before and again 1 hour before. The desk handles replies.

    Example shape: about 5 hours a week back on the desk.

  • Illustrative · SACCO

    Repayment reminders

    A officer exports the due list and sends WhatsApp notes by hand.

    Members with a due date get a reminder and a pay link. Paid balances stop.

    Example shape: the due list is chased without a Friday export.

  • Illustrative · School

    Fee notices

    The office prints a fee list and calls parents who have not paid.

    Parents get the amount, the date, and a pay link. A notice can ride with the reminder.

    Example shape: one list, instead of a round of calls.

AI Automation

What those hours cost

Enter hours you could take off repetitive work, and what an hour of that work costs. The figure uses your numbers. It is not a quote.

Enquiries, missed calls, lead capture, reminders, and routine admin — without replacing the personal service clients expect.

Add both numbers to see the wage cost of those hours.

How we work

Three steps

The same path for automation and custom software.

01

Talk

Tell us what you need. A short call is enough to start.

02

Build

We do the work and show you progress.

03

Hand over

You get the finished work, or we keep it running.

Pricing

Simple starting prices

A build is a one-off. A care plan keeps it running. Smaller teams can start with a template. Custom software is quoted after a free call. Outsourced IT is quoted after a free assessment.

AI Automation

One workflow first. The audit is free and takes about 20 minutes. Prices below are in KES and USD.

Ready-made — monthly

Tick the automations you need. Each one is KES 2,500–6,500 a month (about $19–$50). A bundle discount applies at 3 or more (10%), 5 or more (15%), and 8 or more (22%). Paying for the year takes a further 15% off the monthly total. Setup fees are included in the total on every automation that has one.

Custom build

Pilot is a one-off build of one workflow from $1,350, usually in 2–3 weeks. Multi-workflow is from $4,500 and is quoted after discovery. A retainer from $450 a month covers monitoring, fixes, and improvements after a custom build is live.
