Phase 01
Start with a direct chat
Tell us about your product goals in your own words over WhatsApp. We prefer hearing details directly from you. Once aligned, we jump on a scoping call to formalize what's realistic.
AndishiAndishiAndishiScalable applications, SaaS platforms, AI systems, mobile apps, and enterprise tools. For founders and teams who demand shipped solutions and tangible impact, not just another project plan.
THE REAL SITUATION
You've likely briefed an agency before. You received a proposal with a six-week start date and a 90-day timeline, paid a hefty deposit, and ultimately got a product that barely resembled your original vision.
Or perhaps you hired multiple freelancers. Each owned a different piece of the puzzle, but nobody took responsibility for the entire outcome.
Andishi operates differently. We scope your requirements in a single call. We write the technical brief. We ship in weeks, not quarters. Above all, we measure our success by the tangible impact on your business, not by the sheer length of a deliverables checklist.
Prefer to build in-house? We also embed senior engineering talent into existing teams who need to scale quickly. Both pathways are fully supported.
Product engineering for ambitious founders.
What We Build
Custom-built web apps for businesses that have outgrown spreadsheets and off-the-shelf tools.
From MVP to multi-tenant platform. We design the product architecture, build it, and ship it.
iOS and Android apps built for real usage patterns. Native or cross-platform.
LLM integrations, AI-powered features, and intelligent automation built into production software.
Internal platforms, workflow systems, and business tools that replace spreadsheets at scale.
Smart contracts, on-chain integrations, DeFi tooling, and token-gated product features.
Backend systems, data pipelines, and service integrations that connect your tools.
Scope definition, information architecture, UX design, and technical advisory.
Bespoke Software Systems
We design bespoke architectures, unique database solutions, specialized integrations, and workflow engines built specifically around your business.
HOW A PROJECT GOES
We scope in a single call, deliver in sprints, and ensure you own the outcome entirely.
Tell us about your product goals in your own words over WhatsApp. We prefer hearing details directly from you. Once aligned, we jump on a scoping call to formalize what's realistic.
Our product manager translates our chat and call into a comprehensive project brief: scope, timeline, deliverables, and direct cost. You approve or we adjust. No drawn-out specs documents.
You see working progress every week. Feedback rounds are structured. Scope changes are flagged the moment they appear - never buried in a final review.
When we ship, the product is live, tested, and documented. You own the IP entirely. We stay available for 30 days post-launch.

FOUNDER CONTEXT
Andishi was started because we kept seeing the same problem: founders with real ambition, stuck with digital partners who missed deadlines, padded budgets, or didn't understand what the product was actually for.
We build software for clients across Africa, Europe, and North America because delivery quality doesn't have an address. Our processes are structured, and every project has an owner who answers directly to you.
“The quality of delivery is the only credential that matters.”
01
Scope directly on the first call.
02
Build in transparent weekly sprints.
03
Stand behind delivery outcomes.
CLIENT TESTIMONIALS
“Andishi delivered our custom fleet routing platform in under 6 weeks. The code is modular, type-safe, and performs flawlessly under high operational loads. We bypassed the standard recruiter overhead entirely.”
CTO, Haraka Fleet
“The custom payment ledger Andishi built for us was exactly what we needed to move off manual spreadsheets. Direct communications with their product engineers saved us weeks of scoping cycles.”
Founder, Lipa Commerce
“Their expertise in database scaling was obvious from day one. They re-architected our core student database and speeded up page loading times by over 200%. Highly recommended for complex backend systems.”
Director of Product, MySchool Platform
“We hired Andishi to build our AI document search pipeline. The integration is seamless and cost-controlled. Their engineering capability is on par with top-tier global agencies.”
Co-Founder, Orbit Labs
“Andishi's contract analysis tool cut our paralegal review time by more than half in the first month. The RAG pipeline surfaces exactly the clauses our team needs to flag, and the executive summaries save partners hours before client calls.”
Operations Director, Lex Meridian
“We needed a multi-tenant billing platform that could scale with our contractor base without falling over. Andishi delivered exactly that - clean Stripe Connect integration, solid tenant isolation, and code we've had no trouble extending ourselves since handoff.”

From the talent desk
The strongest hiring briefs describe ownership, context, stack, and risk. Here is the structure Andishi uses before shortlisting engineers.
Common questions
Honest answers before we ever match profiles.
Web applications, SaaS platforms, AI-powered tools, mobile apps (iOS and Android), enterprise internal tools, blockchain and Web3 products, APIs, and data integrations. If the product needs to be built and shipped, it's in scope.
A scoped web app takes 4–10 weeks. A full SaaS product is typically 6–14 weeks from scoping to initial launch. Mobile apps run 6–12 weeks. We give you a specific timeline in the brief after the first call.
Yes. If you'd rather extend your own team than hand off a project, we source and place senior engineers from our vetted network. Average time-to-placement is 8 days. There's a 30-day replacement guarantee.
Founders launching their first product, CTOs extending their engineering capacity, and established businesses replacing manual systems with purpose-built software. We work with clients in Nairobi, across East Africa, and internationally.
We stay available for 30 days post-launch at no additional cost. If the problem is inside the scope we defined, we fix it. If it's a scope change, we scope and price it separately.
