ConsumatechAn African technology company building for the people technology leaves out.
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.
We start with how people actually live, trade and organise, and build the technology around that, not the other way round.
Our story
Consumatech was founded in 2015 by Olatoye Amosun, Founder & CEO.
"I founded Consumatech because technology had already solved many everyday problems, but most Africans couldn't get to it: connectivity was poor or unaffordable, devices were scarce, access cost extra, and solutions didn't speak their language. I wanted to build solutions that bring those barriers down and don't exclude Africans."
- Simple, accessible technology
We built solutions that are simpler, start from the local context, and don't by design shut out large numbers of Africans.
- Low-code and no-code
Low-code and no-code tools were how we built faster for places the market overlooked.
- AI-led building
Today AI removes most of the cost and time of building. So we remove the barriers to using what we build.
What we believe
We build for those technology skipped
We go where the market sees no value.
Context comes first
The solution follows from how people actually live and trade.
AI lets us remove the barriers
A lower cost to build means a lower cost to use.
Open solutions, with no barrier to entry.
Our solutions are affordable, easy to get, and built for people where they are. The value is found in the value chain: partners and sponsors, sometimes premium options, and value captured elsewhere in the chain.
You can see it in kasiPOS: the store app is open source, and the network creates the value.
Where we work
Live in South Africa and the DRC; conversations in Nigeria and East Africa.
