Business software and IT services in DR Congo

Software, websites and logistics systems for businesses in eastern DR Congo and beyond, with Swahili support for Goma, Bukavu and Lubumbashi.

How we work with Congolese businesses

Eastern DR Congo trades closely with Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi and Kenya, and Swahili is widely spoken in Goma, Bukavu and Lubumbashi. Businesses that move goods across borders need accurate records of cargo, customs and payments.

Our clearing and forwarding system covers transit through the Northern and Central corridors, and our other systems suit mining supply, retail, hospitality and agriculture businesses. We work remotely from Nairobi and by arrangement on site, and review local payment and tax requirements before agreeing scope.

Data protection in DR Congo is governed by the DRC data protection and digital code. Rules change, so confirm current requirements with the relevant authority or your adviser. We build the technical side and do not give legal or tax advice.
