We build retail mobile apps that load in under two seconds on 3G, accept mobile money natively, and turn first-time browsers into repeat buyers.
African mobile commerce is a different game: bundle-driven data plans, mid-range Android dominance, and customers who abandon if a checkout takes more than three taps. We build retail apps in Flutter and React Native that ship under 12 MB, work offline for browse-and-wishlist, integrate natively with MoMo, Telebirr, and card rails, and keep their crash-free rate above 99.7% on a fleet that ranges from Tecno Spark to iPhone 15. Loyalty, push, and personalization come stitched in — not bolted on after launch.
What changes when mobile apps meets retail & e-commerce — and how we engineer around it.
Hitting target add-to-cart and checkout completion rates on 2 GB RAM Tecno and Infinix handsets with 6.0+ Android.
Reducing the MoMo/M-Pesa checkout from 9 screens and 2 USSD prompts to a single-tap inline flow with verified callbacks.
Keeping APK size, image weight, and update cadence within the daily data budgets African shoppers actually buy.
Driving repeat purchase via push and in-app messaging on devices with aggressive battery-killing OEM ROMs.
