Custom software and ERP systems, developed, deployed and supported across Africa. Explore website development, ICT consulting and business advisory alongside the systems core.
Business management systems are at the core of this practice, led by Kraal Code as the flagship ERP offer. Peter leads its product engineering, regional implementation, deployment, and ongoing operation for Chwezi Core Systems. The wider practice also delivers selected third-party ERP implementations, multi-tenant SaaS platforms, custom internal systems, and Android applications — all built around a specific operational problem and carried through the same lifecycle: develop, deploy, manage, and maintain.
Flagship platform: Kraal Code connects finance, inventory, procurement, HR, payroll, sales, CRM, assets, approvals, reporting, and field operations in one configurable, multi-tenant ERP. Maduuka and Aqar provide additional proof that the develop-deploy-manage-maintain lifecycle is operated in practice, not merely described.

Develop, deploy, manage, maintain — operated as one continuous discipline, not handed over and forgotten.
Requirements engineering, systems analysis, architecture, and build. Full-stack web applications in PHP, Python, and JavaScript; Android apps in Kotlin with Jetpack Compose and offline-first design; multi-tenant SaaS platforms on clean API foundations. Every build is preceded by a thorough understanding of the business processes it must support.
Environment setup, secure infrastructure provisioning, data migration from legacy systems and spreadsheets, user training, and phased rollout. Deployment is treated as its own discipline, not an afterthought, because most system failures originate at the handover.
Ongoing administration, user support, performance monitoring, access governance, and security oversight. Once a system is live, the practice can operate it on the client's behalf or work alongside an in-house team — whichever fits the organisation.
Updates, feature evolution as the business changes, infrastructure care, and lifecycle planning. Maintenance retainers are SLA-backed and scoped to the criticality of the system, with clear response commitments rather than best-effort promises.
Strategy-led websites that carry reputation and convert serious enquiries — for organisations whose digital presence has commercial weight.
Website development remains a meaningful part of the practice, positioned as a complement to the systems work. Every site begins with a diagnosis of positioning, audience, and the commercial role it must play. Delivery uses a performance-first Astro and Tailwind stack, with JavaScript reserved for functional interactions and route-level budgets verified before release. English and French capability, structured SEO, schema markup, and analytics are built in from the outset. The work suits consultancies, institutions, technical firms, and funded ventures that treat a website as operational infrastructure.

Many organisations invest in technology without a clear strategy — purchasing systems that do not integrate, building infrastructure that does not scale, or adopting tools that staff cannot use effectively. The practice's ICT consulting addresses this gap. Drawing on experience managing ICT operations across multiple countries and organisations — from multinational health-product distributors operating across eight African countries to national research institutions — it provides strategic guidance grounded in operational reality. Whether the brief is to assess current infrastructure, plan a digital transformation, or select the right vendors, the perspective is that of someone who has built and operated these systems in challenging environments.

The practice helps organisations and entrepreneurs develop the plans, strategies, and documentation they need to grow, secure funding, and operate with clarity. Drawing on 15 years of experience across diverse industries in Africa and internationally, it offers practical strategic support that goes beyond frameworks — grounded in real business realities, with the analytical rigour and practical insight needed to turn business ideas into fundable, executable plans.

We develop complete, bankable business plans — from market analysis and financial modelling to a professional pitch deck and presentation coaching. A full-service offering that takes you from idea to funded.
Across African markets, social channels now do work that brochures and trade shows used to do — but most organisations post inconsistently and have no way of knowing whether their digital marketing is working. The practice designs comprehensive digital marketing and social media strategies built around full-funnel thinking (POEM), the platforms that matter in African markets (WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok, YouTube, X), and a measurement framework tied to real business results — not vanity metrics.
