How key sectors in Côte d'Ivoire use cloud & DevOps services
Cloud & DevOps Services for Mobile money

For them, our cloud & DevOps services typically starts with containers & kubernetes (docker images, EKS/AKS/GKE clusters and autoscaling) and adds monitoring & alerting as the platform grows. Progress is tracked on authorisation rate and cost per transaction.
Cloud & DevOps Services for Cocoa
Cocoa businesses in Côte d'Ivoire usually need farm-to-buyer traceability, co-operative management and mobile tools that work offline. For them, our cloud & DevOps services typically starts with backup & disaster recovery (automated, tested backups with defined RPO/RTO) and adds cost optimisation as the platform grows. Progress is tracked on traceable volume and farmer payment time.
Cloud & DevOps Services for Logistics
Logistics businesses in Côte d'Ivoire usually need live shipment visibility, warehouse accuracy, carrier integrations and digital proof of delivery. For them, our cloud & DevOps services typically starts with monitoring & alerting (uptime, logs and APM with alerts to Slack, Teams, email or WhatsApp) and adds cloud migration as the platform grows. Progress is tracked on on-time delivery rate and cost per drop.
Example: cloud & DevOps services for a cocoa business in Abidjan
Consider a cocoa company in Abidjan (fintech, banks and port logistics). A typical cloud & DevOps services engagement would start with containers & kubernetes, then backup & disaster recovery, and finish the first release with monitoring & alerting — usually within 1–2 weeks.
Payments would run through Orange Money, data would be handled under Law No. 2013-450 on personal data, and success would be measured on traceable volume, farmer payment time and post-harvest loss.
Example: cloud & DevOps services for a mobile money business in Yamoussoukro
Consider a mobile money company in Yamoussoukro (government and education). A typical cloud & DevOps services engagement would start with cost optimisation, then cloud migration, and finish the first release with ci/cd pipelines — usually within 3–8 weeks.
Payments would run through MTN MoMo, data would be handled under Law No. 2013-450 on personal data, and success would be measured on authorisation rate, cost per transaction and payout time.
