Software, consulting and power — built by people who've run all three.
GenieApps started from a simple observation: the same African enterprises buying facilities software were also fighting diesel costs, and the same operations teams asking for a system of record were also asking who could actually build it for them. Instead of picking one problem, we built the team to handle all three — software, the consulting to scope it properly, and the solar power to keep it running.
Products in active use across the continent
MW of solar capacity designed and deployed
Consulting engagements from strategy to production
Years combined leadership experience
Three principles that show up in the actual product.
Ship things that get used
A feature that looks good on a roadmap slide and a feature a technician actually opens on-site are different achievements. We measure the second one.
Say the honest thing
In consulting, in sales, in support tickets — if our product isn't the right fit, we say so. It's why clients come back for the next problem.
Built here, proud everywhere
African-made enterprise software and infrastructure, built to a standard we expect to compete globally, not just regionally.
From a facilities spreadsheet to four products.
The first version of what became Facilit8 was a shared spreadsheet built to track maintenance requests across a handful of retail sites, because the client's WhatsApp group had stopped being workable at scale. It worked well enough that the next client asked for the same thing.
AssetPro followed the same path from the finance side — a fixed asset register that needed to survive contact with an actual annual audit. Genie came later, once it was clear that the real bottleneck for most operations teams wasn't missing software, it was the manual work of moving information between the software they already had.
The solar division exists because enough clients asked the same question during a systems conversation: “can you also do something about our diesel bill?” Eventually, the answer became yes.
A team that stayed technical.
GenieApps is led by engineers and operators who still review architecture decisions and sit in on client discovery calls — not a leadership team that graduated out of the technical work. That's a deliberate choice: the fastest way to lose an enterprise client's trust is to let the strategy and the delivery drift apart.
It shows up in small ways — a consulting engagement that's still staffed by the same architect six months in, a product roadmap that gets vetoed by an actual support ticket volume, a solar proposal that gets rejected internally because the load data didn't justify the system size being pitched.
