Software Development & Technology Services in Somalia We build the system. Then we make it used.
Astaan Media is also a software development company in Mogadishu, Somalia. A permanent Somali engineering team designs, develops, hosts and supports websites, web applications and mobile apps in-house — the technology arm of a media house, which is exactly why our systems get adopted.
01
Software & web development
Custom software, websites, e-commerce and web applications designed, built, deployed and supported in-house from Mogadishu — Laravel and Next.js systems engineered for low-bandwidth Somalia.
02
Mobile app development
Android and iOS apps and OTT streaming platforms built in Flutter from one codebase — Android-first for the Somali market, offline-tolerant by design.
03
Mobile money integration
EVC Plus, ZAAD and Sahal mobile money and payment API integration running live in production on the Somtaana platform — not proposed, running.
04
ERP systems & Odoo implementation
Odoo ERP deployed across the Astaan Group companies and hotel management for hospitality operations, with PostGIS geographic data for district-level reporting.
05
Cloud 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.
