Software built for the conditions it runs in.

Zimcrest Technologies partners with startups and enterprises across Africa to design, build and ship software that holds up under real networks, real regulation and real users.

What we do

Six practices, one team

We work as one compact pod of senior people. These are the capabilities that pod draws on, not six departments to be handed between.

How we work

What you get, and roughly when

Each stage ends with something you own and can act on, whether or not we build the next one.

  1. 1

    Strategy

    2–4 weeks

    We start from the problem and the commercial constraint, not a handed-down spec, and leave you with a plan you own whether or not we build it.

    • Problem definition
    • Success metrics
    • Scoped roadmap
    • Risk register
    • Cost envelope
  2. 2

    Design

    3–6 weeks

    Flows and prototypes tested against the conditions the product will actually run in, with accessibility set as a baseline rather than a later audit.

    • User flows
    • Tested prototype
    • Component library
    • Accessibility baseline
  3. 3

    Build

    8–24 weeks

    Working software every two weeks, in your repository, with tests and CI from the first commit.

    • Fortnightly increments
    • Code in your repo
    • Tests and CI from day one
    • Fortnightly demo
  4. 4

    Launch & Support

    Ongoing

    Deployment, the runbooks to operate it, and a named engineer for an agreed support window.

    • Runbooks
    • Monitoring
    • Handover
    • Support window

FAQ

Questions worth answering before you ask

A software company based in Abuja, Nigeria, partnering with startups and enterprises across Africa to design, build and ship software that holds up under real networks, real regulation and real users.

Three: a dedicated team embedded in your product long-term, a fixed-scope project priced and scoped before we start, or a discovery sprint that turns an idea into a costed plan you own — whether or not you build it with us.

It's priced separately, with a stated change process — never absorbed silently into the original price.

No. Launch includes the runbooks to operate what we built and a named engineer for an agreed support window — handover is a deliverable with a date, not a favour if there's time.
