Work & Case Studies

What we've built, and how.

We document our work the same way we do everything else — honestly. Here are the problems we saw, the choices we made, and what shipped.

The problem

Nigerian laundry businesses were running entirely on WhatsApp, paper receipts, and verbal agreements. Operators had no visibility into pending orders, unpaid invoices, or inventory. Customers had no way to track their clothes.

Our approach

We ran discovery with 6 laundromat owners across Port Harcourt and Lagos. The insight: operators needed a dead-simple interface they could hand to shop assistants with minimal training. We built for low-literacy usage, offline-tolerant flows, and local payment rails (Paystack). First sketch to public beta in 11 months.

What shipped

First paying business live April 2024. Multi-branch chains now use Qliina for booking, billing, and operations. Ongoing active development.

Fintech · Gifting Infrastructure

The problem

Gift-giving in Africa is a deeply social activity — but digital gifting was either tied to specific retailers or relied on trust-based informal systems (send money via WhatsApp, hope they buy the right thing). There was no verified gifting layer that paid out directly to a bank account.

Our approach

We designed Quiika as infrastructure: an API-first gifting rail that any business or individual could plug into. Recipients claim their gift and receive an instant bank payout via Paystack. We built verification, fraud protection, and webhook notifications from day one — because trust is the whole product.

What shipped

Live at quiika.com. OpenAPI spec published. Paystack bank payouts live across Nigeria. Developer-friendly endpoints for business integrations.
