ConsumatechTechnology for the Africa most technology skips.
Consumatech is an African technology company that uses AI to build simple, affordable solutions for the people, communities and small businesses that most technology leaves out.
Digitizing Africa's local contexts.
Where others see no value
- The gap
Technology hasn't reached most Africans. Most products are designed for people who can already pay, and whole markets are written off as "no value".
- Our starting point
We go where others see no value, and start from the local context. The solution follows from how people actually live and trade.
AI lowered the cost of building. We lower the cost of using.
Our solutions are designed with no barrier to entry: affordable, easy to get, and built for people where they are. We find the value in the value chain, not in the user's pocket.
A system that brings value closer to where it starts.
Kiungo builds and strengthens the links within communities and between them, and turns their combined demand into buying power. Live in South Africa and the DRC.
- Shops
The fixed points. Every kasiPOS counter is a place to buy, pay, collect and order.
- People
The mobile points. Community marketers, each linked to a local shop for payment and collection.
- Devices
The digital points. Phones where demand comes in and products and services go out.
- Businesses and partners
Small businesses, brands, suppliers, telcos and retailers that sell through the system and serve it.
What we build
The trade operating system for Africa's general trade. Every shop counter, connected to its value chain. Live in South Africa and the DRC.
