Our work

Recent work, live today.

Platforms built around how each business operates, from checkout and payments to the teams that print, pack, build, investigate and deliver.

Our approach

Built around how your business already works.

Every operation has its own way of doing things. We start by learning yours: who does what, where payments and data move, and which steps slow your team down. Then we build software that fits that workflow.

That means fewer spreadsheets and re-keyed records, payments that reconcile, screens each role recognises, and a team that keeps supporting the system after launch.

Services

Engineering for every part of your operation.

From the customer-facing app to the back-office system behind it, designed, built and supported by one team.

Something else?

Not sure which service fits? Describe the problem and we'll help you work out what to build.

A few lines about the process is enough. We'll come back with questions, options and a sensible first step.

Let's Talk

Featured products

Products and platforms built by CodeWave.

Selected systems we have designed, built and continue to support.

Why CodeWave

Built by engineers. Designed for real businesses.

What you get is a working system, not a slide deck — engineered by people who have integrated M-Pesa, reconciled ledgers and kept production systems running.

  1. 01

    Business-first engineering

    Requirements come from how your operation actually runs — approvals, stock, cash, customers — not from a feature checklist.

  2. 02

    Scalable architecture

    Data models and service boundaries designed so the system can take on more branches, users and modules without a rewrite.

  3. 03

    Payment & integration expertise

    M-Pesa, card and bank rails, SMS, accounting and third-party APIs connected with reconciliation and failure handling built in.

  4. 04

    Modern technology

    Laravel, ASP.NET Core, Vue, Blazor and SQL platforms that are mature, well-documented and straightforward to host and staff for in Kenya.

  5. 05

    Security-conscious development

    Role-based access, audit trails, encrypted secrets, hardened servers and dependency updates treated as part of the work, not an add-on.

  6. 06

    Long-term technical support

    A named team that knows your system, monitors it in production and keeps improving it under a clear support agreement.

Technology

Process

From understanding to support.

Seven stages with clear outputs, so you always know what has been done, what comes next and what it costs.

  1. 01

    Understand

    We sit with the people who run the process, map how work actually flows today, and agree on what the system must do — and what it must not.

  2. 02

    Architect

    Data model, system boundaries, integrations and hosting are decided and documented before production code is written.

  3. 03

    Design

    Screens and workflows are designed around the roles that will use them, reviewed with your team, and refined before build.

  4. 04

    Build

    Engineered in short, reviewable increments with automated tests and regular demos, so progress is visible and nothing is a surprise.

  5. 05

    Integrate

    M-Pesa, banking, SMS, accounting and existing systems are connected, reconciled and tested end to end.

  6. 06

    Deploy

    Production environments are provisioned, secured and monitored; data is migrated and users are trained before go-live.

  7. 07

    Support

    Maintenance, updates and improvements continue under a clear support agreement for as long as you run the system.
