Digital engineering — Senegal
Software that holds up in the field.
We design, build and deploy business platforms, artificial intelligence systems and decision-support tools for public administrations, local authorities and companies across West Africa.
A working application, not a code drop
Installed, configured and put into service by us. Your teams receive a tool that runs, not a repository to deploy themselves.
You own everything you pay for
Full source code, data schemas and documentation are handed over. You can change supplier without losing anything.
A dedicated engineering team
Architecture, development, data, security and training: the skills a project needs, assembled around it.
What we believe
Software is only worth what someone actually does with it.
A platform nobody opens, a dashboard nobody reads, a form filled in twice because the first version was never explained — West Africa is full of digital projects that were delivered and never used. They failed for the same reason: the tool was designed before the work it was meant to support was understood.
So we start with the organisation, not the technology. We sit with the people who do the job, follow a file from one end of the circuit to the other, and find out what is actually blocking. Only then do we decide what to build — and sometimes the answer is that software is not the answer.
How we workWhat we do
Eight areas, one engineering standard
We work where technology has to produce a measurable effect: a service delivered faster, a decision better informed, a team made self-sufficient.
Digital public services
Turning administrative procedures into working online services, and making the relationship between institutions and citizens flow.
Remote sensing and geo-intelligence
Processing satellite imagery and field data, combining them with machine learning, and producing geographic information a decision-maker can act on.
AI and computer vision
Building models that are useful, measurable and deployable under real operating conditions.
Digital health
Equipping care facilities and public health programmes with reliable applications that work in poorly connected areas and respect medical confidentiality.
Environment and AI
Having computer vision automatically recognise what must be counted, sorted, monitored or reported in the environment.
Traceability and quality
Making what actually happens in the field visible and verifiable: what was done, by whom, when, where and to which standard.
Mobility and public safety
Equipping authorities to understand, prevent and handle events in the field.
Advisory and training
Supporting organisations in their technology choices and making their teams self-sufficient.
Who we work with
Organisations that answer to someone
Administrations, local authorities, companies and development programmes — structures whose decisions commit territories and populations.
- 01
Local authorities and administrations
Municipalities, decentralised services and public bodies digitalising their services to citizens.
- 02
Ministries and national agencies
Sector programmes that need information systems, territorial data and steering tools.
- 03
Health and social services
Care facilities and public health programmes needing reliable data and tools that work in the field.
- 04
Companies and industry
Private organisations automating business processes and making use of their own data.
- 05
Environment and urban services
Waste, water and public space operators who want to measure before they arbitrate.
- 06
International organisations and NGOs
Development programmes needing impact measurement, field monitoring and dependable data.
Our approach
Understanding the organisation before proposing the tool
Five stages, from the first interview to the moment your teams no longer need us.
- 01
Framing
Understanding the organisation before the tool: interviews with case officers and users, review of what already exists, regulatory and material constraints.
- 02
Design
User journeys, wireframes and technical architecture. The structural choices are made and approved before the first line of code is written.
- 03
Iterative build
Versions delivered regularly and tested by end users. Every increment is functional, documented and covered by automated tests.
- 04
Go-live
Deployment on infrastructure you control, on-premises or in a sovereign cloud. The application is installed, configured and opened to users.
- 05
Handover and support
Team training, delivery of the complete source code and documentation, support during adoption. The objective is your independence.
National framework
Aligned with Senegal's Technological New Deal
2025 – 2034
Senegal's national digital transformation programme sets four directions: sovereignty, digitalisation of public services, digital economy and regional reach. Our areas of work sit directly within them.
Digital sovereignty
Infrastructure under national control, cybersecurity, protection of national data.
Digitalised public services
Administration available continuously, digital identity, paperless procedures.
Digital economy
Startup ecosystem, artificial intelligence, extended connectivity.
Regional reach
Exporting digital services across West Africa.
Our data publications are in French
We publish sourced readings of public statistical series on West African connectivity — figures, provenance, method and limits. Those pages are written in French; the underlying data is the ITU series, which is published in English.
