We build the systems
Malawian businesses
run on.

Websites, business systems, ERP, AI and the hosting underneath them. Built in Blantyre for the network your customers are actually on — and measured on it before it ships.

What we do

Six things, done properly

Not a list of everything. These are the areas we build in, and each one has a page that says exactly what you get.

Build · Host · Maintain

Websites & Web Applications

Custom Next.js websites and web applications, built to load fast on a Malawian mobile network and to be found on Google.

Stock · Sales · Staff

Business Systems

Inventory, point of sale, school and clinic management. Multi-user systems with roles, built around how your operation actually runs.

See it working

Stock · Invoicing · Payroll

ERP

Stock, invoicing, payroll and reporting in one system, so the numbers reconcile instead of being reconciled.

Answer · Extract · Decide

AI Integration

Chatbots that answer real questions, document processing that reads your paperwork, and decision support built on your own data.

WhatsApp · Airtel · Mpamba

Messaging & Chatbots

WhatsApp Business automation and mobile money integration — Airtel Money and TNM Mpamba — wired into the systems you already run.

Servers · Backups · Uptime

Managed Hosting & IT Support

Servers, backups, monitoring and uptime. We run the infrastructure the sites and systems we build sit on.

Proof, not claims

Everything on this page is checkable

We have four clients. We are not going to pretend otherwise, put up a wall of borrowed logos, or claim a number of projects nobody can verify.

So instead of describing what we can build, we built it into this site. The readout below is live. The assistant in the corner is a real one. The stock table on the business systems page is the real component.

Sites we host, right now

Checked every 60 seconds

These are real HTTP requests from our server to our clients’ production sites, cached for a minute so this page cannot become a load on theirs. If one is down, this will say so.

How we build

The boring parts are the point

Anyone can make a page look finished. What decides whether a system is worth having is what happens when something goes wrong — so that is what we design first.
  1. Visitor

    Fills the form, or asks the assistant

  2. Next.js route

    Validates, rate limits, never trusts the client

  3. API route

    Server-side only. Keys never reach the browser

  4. Webhook

    Delivery confirmed, or the visitor is told

  5. You

    On WhatsApp, within the hour

This is this website’s own architecture, not an illustration. If step 4 fails, step 1 is told to message us on WhatsApp instead — we never show a success screen over a dropped message.

Measured, not assumed

Every page is tested on a throttled connection standing in for a mid-range Android on 4G. A site that is fast in the office and slow in Limbe is a slow site.

Failures are visible

If a form cannot be delivered, the visitor is told and given another way to reach you. We never show a thank-you screen over a message that went nowhere.

You own it

Your code, your domain, your data. Nothing is locked to us, and we will hand the whole lot over if you ever want someone else to run it.

What it costs

Published, because you asked before you called

Monthly, so the cost of software is a running cost you can plan for rather than a lump sum you have to find. Hosting, SSL, backups and support are in the monthly figure — there is no separate hosting bill.
TekXpat plans, monthly price and setup fee
PlanPer monthSetupWho it is for
Starter BlogMWK 30,000approx. US$17FreeA writer, a church, a small association — anyone who needs to publish and be found.
Business SiteMWK 60,000approx. US$35FreeAn established business that needs to be found, understood and contacted.
Online ShopMWK 90,000approx. US$52MWK 250,000Selling products online, taking payment, tracking what has been ordered.
Web ApplicationMWK 250,000approx. US$144MWK 600,000Software built for how your business actually works, not a template bent to fit.
Business SystemMWK 450,000approx. US$259MWK 1,200,000Running the operation: stock, sales, staff, money, across multiple users and sites.

Billed monthly on a 12-month plan. After the first year your site simply continues month-to-month at the same rate — no new contract, cancel any time.

USD figures are indicative only. Bigger systems are quoted after we have understood the work — but the monthly figures above are what we actually charge, not a starting point for a negotiation.
