Every business has a door.

ZaphLabs is a software studio in Kigali. We build the door your customers walk through, and everything behind it.

Most are still held together by WhatsApp, a notebook and memory.

Your business already has a system. It's just scattered.

One system

Four parts, working as one.

Every system we build has the same four parts, shaped around your business. Scroll to see them connect.

The front door.

The website and app your customers use to book, order and pay. Fast on any phone, in your brand, in their language.

2 of 4

The back office.

The console your staff open every day. Bookings, orders, stock and people, in one calm screen.

3 of 4

The money.

MoMo deposits, payments and payouts, matched to every booking automatically. No more "who paid?"

4 of 4

The messages.

WhatsApp and SMS confirmations, reminders and receipts, sent for you. Even to phones without internet.
