About us
Software built in Nairobi, used across Africa
Saharasoft Solutions is a Kenyan software development company that designs, builds, and supports custom web and mobile applications for businesses solving real problems in Africa.
Our story
Twelve years of building what businesses actually need
We started in Nairobi to give local companies access to software that works the way they work, not the way a foreign template assumes they should.
Founded in Nairobi over a decade ago, Saharasoft Solutions began as a small team of developers and designers who believed African businesses deserved software built for their context. Since then, we have shipped products for water utilities, real-estate firms, logistics operators, conference organisers, and healthcare providers across Africa and beyond.
We do not resell off-the-shelf platforms. We listen, prototype, build, and stay with our clients after launch. That approach has produced tools like Arbec for event management, TallyDue for utility billing, Inbuildr for construction productivity, Baylink for logistics, and GarageOS for fleet operations.
Our team is based in Nairobi, Kenya, and we work with clients across Africa and beyond.
Mission
Make useful software feel inevitable
We help businesses turn messy workflows into clear, fast, reliable software. Our mission is to close the gap between what a team needs and what technology can do, without adding unnecessary complexity.
What we value
- Useful first. Every feature must solve a real problem for real users.
- Local context. We design for mobile-first users, intermittent connectivity, and African business realities.
- Long-term partnerships. We ship, then we support, improve, and scale.
- Honest craft. Clean code, clear interfaces, and no hidden lock-in.
How we work
A process that keeps projects moving
From first conversation to live deployment, we keep the loop tight and the decisions visible.
-
1
Discovery
We map the business problem, the users, the constraints, and the existing workflow before writing any code.
-
2
Design
Wireframes and prototypes become a shared reference so stakeholders can react early and developers build once.
-
3
Development
We build in short cycles with regular demos, using modern stacks suited to each product's needs.
-
4
Testing
Manual QA, automated checks, and real-world user testing catch issues before they reach production.
-
5
Deployment
We launch, monitor, and hand over a system that your team can run, supported by documentation and training.

By the numbers
Real stats, built over time
Numbers only matter when they reflect real work. Here is what we have done so far.
