Tools shaped by the way work actually happens here.

01 — Aviation

Crew Roster with Predictive Duty Time

A rostering platform for charter and regional operators that doesn't just record duty — it forecasts it. See FDP exceedances before you publish the roster, not after the audit.

  • Predictive flight & duty time engine
  • Forward-looking FDP exceedance alerts
  • Rest & recurrent currency forecasting
  • Roster publishing to crew mobile

02 — Healthcare

Medical Centre Stock System

Pharmacy and consumables inventory built for clinics that can't afford a stock-out — or a slow expiry. Track every batch, every expiry date, every dispense, with a workflow that survives spotty connectivity.

  • Batch & expiry tracking with alerts
  • Reorder thresholds & consumption trends
  • Dispense logging & stock reconciliation
  • Offline-first, multi-store ready

04 — HR

HR & Applicant Tracking

A hiring workflow built for operators who run real interview rounds — not a LinkedIn funnel. Manage candidate registers, sift CVs, score interviews, and produce audit-grade selection records that hold up to a regulator or a board.

  • Candidate register & CV intake
  • Structured interview scoring
  • Stage-based pipeline tracking
  • Defensible selection records & exports

Aviation Accounting & Cost Intelligence

The full-stack financial platform for serious operators — built to handle the actual cost of flying aircraft, not a generic chart of accounts. Track every shilling against every tail, every leg, every crew. Then see what next month looks like before it arrives.

  • Direct & indirect operating cost tracking per tail
  • Predictive cost modelling — fuel, maintenance, crew, lease
  • Cycle & flight-hour driven maintenance reserves
  • Crew payroll, per-diems & positioning costs allocated by leg
  • Hangarage, insurance, navigation & landing fee reconciliation
  • Fleet-wide P&L by aircraft, route, contract or client

We build for the operator on a strip in Lokichoggio, the nurse triaging on a Tuesday morning, the dispatcher quoting at midnight. Not the pitch deck.

— Tipsy Steer / Working Software Nairobi, Kenya
/ Approach

Four principles. Hardly negotiable.

i.

Built where it's used

Our software is shaped on the ground — in dispatch rooms, on apron walks, beside the triage desk. Not in a workshop somewhere abroad.

ii.

Connectivity-realistic

Offline-first by default. Sync when the link is back. Designed for 3G, intermittent power, and the field, not the boardroom.

iii.

Regulator-aware

KCAA, MoH, NHIF — we know the forms, the audits, and the closure language. Compliance isn't a feature; it's the floor.

iv.

Priced for the market

Per-seat SaaS pricing built for Western payrolls doesn't survive here. Ours is sized for operators in EAC and beyond.

v.

Owned by the operator

Your data, your exports, your reports. We don't hold the keys to your business hostage in a foreign cloud.

vi.

Quiet software

No popups, no streaks, no gamification. The software gets out of the way so the work can happen.
