Technology Services in Somalia We build the system. Then we make it used.
A permanent Somali software engineering team in Mogadishu that designs, develops, hosts and supports production systems in-house — the technology arm of a media house, which is exactly why our systems get adopted.
01
Custom software & web applications
Software and web development designed, built, deployed and supported in-house from Mogadishu — Laravel and Next.js systems engineered for low-bandwidth Somalia.
02
Mobile applications
Mobile app development in Flutter, one codebase for Android and iOS — Android-first for the Somali market, offline-tolerant by design.
03
Mobile money integration
EVC Plus, ZAAD and Sahal payment integration running live in production on the Somtaana platform — not proposed, running.
04
ERP & systems integration
Enterprise resource planning deployed for the Astaan Group and hospitality operations, with PostGIS geographic data for district-level reporting.
05
Hosting, training & support
Google Cloud hosting with staging and production environments, administrator and user training with manuals in English and Somali.
06
Systems people actually use
The Astaan difference: we build the platform, then produce the video, radio and community engagement that drives its adoption — one contract, one team.
