Africa's commerce operating system.
We give every African trader — from the duka on the corner to the wholesaler downtown — the tools to record, understand, and grow their business from their phone.
Our mission
Across Africa, millions of businesses run on paper, memory, and trust. Records get lost, sales get forgotten, and growth stays invisible. AfriSpine changes that.
We believe every African trader deserves the same tools as the world's biggest companies — without the cost, complexity, or paperwork. From recording a sale in seconds to understanding where the money goes, AfriSpine puts smart records, payments, and growth in the palm of your hand.
Every African business owner runs their business from their phone — with the same clarity, confidence, and credibility as a boardroom CEO.
— Our vision
The problem we solve
Paper records disappear. Cash flow is guessed. Stock is estimated. Most small businesses cannot answer the simple question: "How is my business doing?" Without honest records, growth is blind and financing is unreachable.
Paper-based records that get lost or damaged
No financial visibility — no idea what's coming in or going out
No digital tools built for African phones, languages, or trade
What we stand for
Made in Africa, for Africa.
Honest records, no fake data
We never fake data, claim AI we don't have, or label things "verified" when they're not. Cash position is labelled "recorded, not a verified bank balance." We say what we mean.
Mobile-first, Africa-first
Built for 390px screens, Kiswahili voices, and M-Pesa economies. No desktop required. No printer needed. Your phone is your business.
Multilingual by design
English, Kiswahili, and Sheng — spoken the way young African traders actually talk. We meet you in your language.
Privacy is a right, not a feature
Your data stays in your business. No cross-business leakage. No data sold. No tracking. Export, correct, or delete your data any time.
Our story
AfriSpine was born in Nairobi, Kenya — in matatus, dukas, and kibandas where billions of shillings change hands every day without a single clean record.
We started by listening. To the duka owner who couldn't tell if she made a profit this month. To the farmer who lost his records to a flood. To the salon owner whose clients always asked: "Did I pay last time?" Their stories shaped every line of code.
Today, AfriSpine serves businesses across Kenya — from corner shops to wholesalers, from salons to shambas — and we're just getting started.
Built for every kind of African trade
