Most software built for the Kenyan market is either imported off-the-shelf software that ignores local realities, or custom software built by teams with no experience of what regulated, national-scale systems actually require. Baseline44 sits in the middle: a Nairobi-based engineering team that builds custom software and AI the way banks and government programs require it built, applied to businesses of every size.

Built for this market

What building software in Kenya actually requires.

Mobile money is not optional

M-Pesa and other mobile money rails are how most Kenyan businesses actually get paid. We integrate them as a first-class part of the system, not an afterthought bolted on later.

Connectivity varies

Not every user has a stable connection. We design for intermittent connectivity — offline-tolerant flows, lightweight payloads, and graceful degradation — so the software works where your customers actually are.

Data protection is enforced here too

Kenya's Data Protection Act, 2019 sets real obligations around how personal data is collected, stored, and processed. We build with that in mind from the first schema decision, not as a retrofit before an audit.

Regulated sectors set the bar

Our team has contributed to banking, insurance, and government-scale engagements in this region. That's the standard of reliability, audit trail, and security we bring to every Kenyan business we work with — regardless of size.
