We build the software that gets it out of their head, off the notebook, and somewhere the whole business can see it. Nothing off the shelf. Built for how you already work.
You cannot say today, without checking, how much money customers owe you.
The records are in a notebook, and the notebook is in somebody’s bag.
The same figures get typed into three different places by three different people.
When one person travels, that part of the business stops.
Customers message on WhatsApp and some of them never get a reply.
You build the same report by hand every month.
You find out something went wrong when the customer complains.
Most businesses we meet run on WhatsApp, a notebook, and one person who remembers everything. That is normal. It is not a failure, and it is not something to tidy up before we arrive.
Our job is to work with how you already do things, not to hand you a system nobody uses and walk away. If you had time to organise it yourself, you would not need us.
Two short visits. We sit with the people doing the job and watch what actually happens, then write you a plain-English report: where the money and time are going, what is worth fixing, what is not, and what each fix would cost. Yours to keep, whether or not you use us.

Formally: the Systems & Operations Review
Tell us and we will price it properly, in writing, with the scope written down so it cannot grow quietly. If we think it is the wrong thing to build, we will say so before you spend anything.
We will build you one. We will also ask what happens now when somebody does contact you, because most businesses that want more enquiries are already losing the ones they get. Fixed scope, fixed price, live in three weeks, from ₦600,000.
Systems for keeping records, taking bookings, tracking jobs, managing stock, handling clients and cases, and knowing who owes you what. Built around how you work rather than forcing you into somebody else’s idea of how a business should run.
Pulling figures out of invoices and scanned documents so nobody re-types them. Drafting the replies you send twenty times a week. Sorting enquiries so the urgent ones surface. Searching your own files properly. A person still checks everything before it goes out, always.
Your accounting package, your payment provider, your spreadsheets and your inbox, made to talk to each other. Plus the monthly report you currently build by hand, produced on its own.
Hosting, monitoring, fixes and small improvements each month, with a response time written down. We also run half-day sessions for teams and associations on choosing software without being sold to.
If the notebook is doing its job, we will tell you to keep it. Changing something that works is how businesses lose money.
Code, data, accounts and documentation are yours once you have paid in full. Any competent developer can carry on from where we stop. We would rather you stayed because it works.
One thing, working, in front of the people who have to use it, before you commit to anything bigger. Your staff have to want it or it will not be used.
Written data terms on every job, under the Nigeria Data Protection Act. Your records are never shared and never used to train anything.
There are no case studies on this page yet, because we are not going to invent them. The first two businesses that let us in get the full review free, in exchange for permission to write up honestly what we found and an introduction to one person they rate.
You approve every word before anything is published, and there is no obligation to hire us for the work it recommends.
Abubakar Ibrahim
Software engineer, Abuja. I have spent my career building systems for organisations that could not buy what they needed off the shelf. You deal with me directly, and I will tell you plainly when software is not the answer to your problem.
One conversation, no cost. If we are not the right people we will say so and point you somewhere better.
