Custom Software Development Services

We design and build tailored web applications, mobile apps, and digital products that help businesses in Africa grow.

Saharasoft Solutions LTD is a software development company focused on turning business ideas into reliable, scalable digital products. From early-stage startups to established enterprises, we partner with teams across Africa to deliver software that fits real workflows.

What We Build

Custom Web Application Development

We build responsive web applications using modern backend and frontend technologies. Whether you need an internal operations tool, a customer portal, or a SaaS platform, our team designs architecture that can grow with your user base.

Typical builds include admin back offices with role-based access, customer dashboards with reporting and exports, booking and scheduling systems, and multi-tenant SaaS products. Every web application ships with a deployment pipeline, monitoring, and documentation — so it keeps working after we hand it over. See the Baylink logistics platform for a representative build.

Mobile App Development

Our Flutter and native mobile development teams create iOS and Android apps that work smoothly across devices. We focus on performance, offline usability, and clean user experiences for field teams, customers, and internal staff.

Because much of our work serves field operations, we design for African network conditions from day one: offline data capture with background sync, low-bandwidth image handling, and graceful degradation when connectivity drops. We handle app store publishing and updates for both Google Play and the App Store. The TallyDue water utility case study shows this in practice — field agents reading meters on phones that sync when signal returns.

Product Design and UX

Great software starts with clear design. We run user research, wireframing, and prototyping sessions to make sure the final product is intuitive and aligned with business goals.

Design happens before engineering for a reason: a clickable prototype tested with real users kills the wrong features while they are still cheap to remove. That is the cheapest cost control available on a software project, and it is why every engagement of ours starts with discovery rather than a blank cheque.

System Integration and APIs

We connect disparate systems — payment gateways, accounting tools, CRMs, SMS services, and more — through secure APIs and automated workflows.

In practice across our portfolio this means mobile money collections and disbursements (M-Pesa paybill and till, Airtel Money, MTN MoMo), bulk SMS notifications for reminders and alerts, accounting and ERP data exchange, and mapping and location services for field logistics. We also design and document internal APIs so your own systems and partners can build on top of them safely.

Industries We Serve

Our domain experience comes from products we operate ourselves, not slideware. We have delivered and run software for water utilities (TallyDue), logistics and transport (Baylink), construction and field operations (Inbuildr), conferences and events (Arbec), and real estate. That operating experience means we arrive already fluent in your regulatory, operational, and customer-facing requirements — and we know what breaks when these systems meet the real world.

Our Development Process

  1. Discovery — We learn your business, users, and constraints, then return requirements, wireframes, and a fixed build quote. See what projects typically cost in Kenya for planning figures.
  2. Design — We create wireframes and high-fidelity prototypes, tested with real users before engineering starts.
  3. Development — We build in iterative sprints with regular demos, so you see working software every few weeks, not a big reveal at the end.
  4. Testing — We test for functionality, security, and performance, including offline behaviour and low-bandwidth conditions.
  5. Deployment & support — We ship to production and stay on for monitoring, maintenance, and iterative improvements after launch.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you work with clients outside Kenya?

Yes. We are based in Nairobi and work with clients across Africa and worldwide. Day-to-day collaboration runs on WhatsApp, video calls, and shared project boards, so time zone overlap is rarely a problem for our markets.

Can you take over an existing codebase?

Yes. We start with a short technical audit — code quality, infrastructure, deployment pipeline, and known risks — then agree on a stabilization plan before adding new features.

How do you price a project?

Every project starts with a paid discovery sprint that produces requirements, wireframes, and a fixed build quote. Fixed-price for well-scoped work; dedicated teams for evolving products. See pricing and engagement models for the details.

What happens after launch?

We stay on for hosting, monitoring, support, and iterative improvements. As a planning figure, ongoing support and evolution typically runs 10–20% of the original build cost per year, sized to how fast your product is changing.
