Web applications · Tanzania
We build portals, dashboards and workflow systems for Tanzanian organisations on WordPress, so you get custom software without starting from a blank page. Projects start from $5,000.
Many organisations in Tanzania run critical processes through spreadsheets, paper forms and WhatsApp groups. It works until the volume grows, a key person leaves or someone needs a report by tomorrow.
A web application gives that process a home: structured forms, clear stages, permissions for each role and a dashboard that shows where everything stands. Building it on WordPress means a proven base for users, security and administration, with our custom code on top.
Typical projects include recruitment portals where applicants apply and HR staff shortlist, member portals with renewals and directories, booking systems for events or facilities, grant and application workflows for NGOs, and supplier or agent portals. Each has its own roles, statuses and notifications. We built a recruitment portal with an HR dashboard for ASEP Logistics and a registration platform for a Federal Ministry of Education boot camp in Nigeria.
When a step involves money, such as an application fee, a membership renewal or a booking deposit, the application needs Tanzanian payment options. We connect aggregators like Pesapal, AzamPay or Flutterwave for mobile money and Selcom for cards, and tie each confirmed payment to the right record so the workflow moves forward automatically. Failed or pending payments are visible to staff, who can follow up without searching through messages.
Custom systems often hold more personal data than anything else an organisation runs. We design around the Personal Data Protection Act, 2022: each role sees only what it needs, sensitive fields are restricted, every change is logged, and records can be exported or deleted on request. Data collected abroad or stored on servers outside Tanzania is documented, since transfers need safeguards and the Commission's authorisation.
Field staff, applicants and members will often use the application on a handset. We design forms that save progress, accept photos of documents from a phone camera and work on slower connections. Dashboards for managers are built for larger screens but stay readable on mobile. Notifications go by email or SMS, depending on how your users prefer to hear from you.
We prefer to launch the core workflow first and add features once real users have tried it. Each phase has a written scope and price. Work is shown on a staging site during calls in the overlap between East Africa Time and our day in Lagos, two hours behind. Feedback from each phase shapes the next, so money goes into features people actually use.

Three builds show our application work: the ASEP Logistics recruitment portal and HR dashboard, the Federal Ministry of Education boot camp registration system, and the Technext ticketing platform with QR check-in.
WordPress already handles users, security, administration and updates well. Building on it means we spend your budget on the parts unique to your process rather than reinventing logins and admin screens. You also avoid being locked into one developer. WordPress is also widely understood, so finding support for it in Tanzania or elsewhere is straightforward.
Usually, if those systems offer an API or import and export files. We regularly connect accounting tools, SMS gateways, payment aggregators and spreadsheets. We confirm what is possible during scoping. Where a system has no API, scheduled imports can still keep records in step.
Yes, with the right hosting and code. The Technext platform handled more than 10,000 ticket sales and QR scans. We plan hosting and caching around your expected peaks. We also run load tests before major launches, so problems show up on staging rather than on the day.
You do. The code, data and hosting accounts are yours, and we document the system so another developer could support it. There is no licence fee to us for continuing to use what we built. We write that documentation as we go rather than at the end.
With a call to walk through your current process. We then map it, propose a first phase and send a written scope with price and timeline. Development projects start from $5,000. The first phase is usually the smallest useful version of the system, which gets it into users' hands sooner.
