Our Products

Software we build. Software we ship.

Two production platforms built in-house by Kigs Apex, designed around how African operators actually work.

LIVE PRODUCT

CashTrace

Turn invoices into collected cash.

Receivables for African SMEs. Payments arrive on rails that carry no invoice number, and CashTrace resolves them to the right invoice anyway.

LIVE PRODUCT

Rentisha

Automated rent collection for Kenyan property managers.

Rental operations end to end. Rent collects itself on M-Pesa, invoices file to KRA as they are issued, and tenants get answers on WhatsApp.

The rails

How money and compliance actually move here.

Three payment channels, none of which was built to carry an invoice reference, resolving to one ledger that files to KRA and answers the tenant on the channel they read.

  1. 01
    Tenant

    Pays on M-Pesa paybill, by bank transfer, or in cash at the gate.

  2. 02
    Rails

    None of the three was built to carry an invoice reference.

  3. 03
    The ledger

    Resolves the payment to an invoice, or queues it for a person.

  4. 04
    KRA eTIMS

    The invoice is filed at the moment it is issued, not at month end.

  5. 05
    Landlord

    Settled and reported against their own portfolio.

  6. 06
    Tenant

    Receipt back on WhatsApp, the channel they actually read.

The Problem

African businesses are losing revenue to outdated systems.

The rails above exist and work. What is missing is the software layer that treats them as the default rather than the exception.

01

Manual customer communication

Teams spending hours on WhatsApp and email instead of growing the business.

02

Slow customer response

Leads going cold because nobody responded within the first 5 minutes.

03

Poor operational visibility

No real-time view of cash flow, receivables, or customer pipeline.

04

Fragmented technology

Disconnected tools and spreadsheets that don't talk to each other.

Bootstrapped

How we fund the build.

To fund product development without outside capital, we take on a limited amount of AI advisory and engineering work, which also keeps us close to the operational problems our products solve. It pays for the build; it isn't the headline.
