Secco is a technology company based in Dar es Salaam. We design and build software for businesses, government institutions and organisations across Tanzania and beyond — from internal systems that quietly run an operation, to products used by thousands of people every day.
From the first conversation about a process, through to the servers it runs on afterwards.
Systems built around how your organisation actually works — not around the constraints of off-the-shelf tooling.
Fast, accessible, well-structured web applications that hold up under real traffic and real users.
Android and cross-platform apps designed for the devices and network conditions people here actually have.
Digital services for public institutions, built to survive audits, handovers and the decade after launch.
Deployment, hardening and monitoring, so what we ship keeps running once we are not looking at it.
Interfaces people can use without training, and the reporting layer that tells you whether any of it is working.
We are not only a consultancy. These are products we own end to end.
swahilio.com
Swahilio teaches Swahili the way people actually acquire a language: by reading a lot of it at a level just past comfortable. Stories are graded from absolute beginner upward, so learners build fluency through volume of comprehensible input rather than grammar drills.
kiswanglish.com
Kiswanglish teaches English to Swahili speakers by reading: graded passages with audio on every line, tap-for-meaning translations and spaced vocabulary review. Free to use, priced in shillings if you want the ads gone.
loccomaps.com
Mapping infrastructure for Tanzania, served from Tanzania. Vector basemaps, routing and a places index, exposed as an API you can build a real product on top of - without every tile request leaving the country first.
app.secco.tz
Secco Vicoba put the running of a savings group on a phone - contributions, loans, repayments and the share-out in one ledger every member can see. The product has been acquired by a partner, and Secco continues to support its development.
We sit with the people who will use the thing. Before any code, we map the current process, the constraints and what success actually means for you.
Prototypes and a written technical plan, so the scope, the cost and the trade-offs are on the table before anyone commits to them.
Short delivery cycles with something working at the end of each one. You see progress continuously rather than at a single reveal.
We ship it, harden it, monitor it, and train your team to run it. Documentation and source belong to you.
The interesting parts of a system should be what it does, not whether it stays up. We ship with monitoring, backups and documentation as part of the work, not as an afterthought someone budgets for later.
Things we built at hackathons, on weekends and while making videos. Free to download.
Tell us about the process you are trying to fix. We will tell you honestly whether we are the right people for it.
