Real results from real deployments across Kenya.
RiftNet Wireless ISP · Nakuru, Rift Valley
The Challenge
RiftNet was managing 2,800+ subscribers across 4 coverage zones using spreadsheets and manual M-Pesa reconciliation. Payment confirmation took 2–6 hours, leading to 18% monthly churn from frustrated customers. Reseller commissions were calculated manually, causing disputes and delays.
Technical Root Cause
The existing workflow required staff to cross-reference M-Pesa SMS notifications with subscriber records, manually activate accounts, and track reseller performance in Google Sheets. Peak-hour reconciliation errors averaged KSh 45,000/month in unaccounted revenue.
M-Pesa reconciliation means matching every payment received via M-Pesa to the correct subscriber account. When done manually, payments get missed or assigned to the wrong person — meaning customers pay but don't get service, or you lose revenue.
Hugo Engineering Solution
Deployed HugoWiFi with M-Pesa STK Push integration across all 4 zones. Subscribers now pay and get instant activation — no manual step. Reseller portal tracks sales and commissions in real-time. Automated SMS notifications confirm every transaction.
“We went from chasing payments to watching them appear in real-time. Our subscribers are happier and our revenue is finally accurate.”
— James Kariuki, Founder & CEO

Full Deployment
From kickoff to live across all 4 coverage zones
Karibu Mart · Westlands, Nairobi
The Challenge
Karibu Mart operates 3 supermarket branches in Nairobi. Inventory was tracked separately at each location using different systems. Stock transfers between branches required manual updates that often lagged by 24–48 hours. End-of-day reconciliation took 3 hours per branch.
Technical Root Cause
Branch managers had no real-time visibility into cross-branch stock levels. Popular items were frequently out of stock at one branch while overstocked at another. The KRA eTIMS invoicing was done manually after each day's close, creating compliance risk during audits.
eTIMS is Kenya's Electronic Tax Invoice Management System. Businesses must send invoices to KRA in real-time. Doing this manually means invoices are often late, incomplete, or incorrect — which can trigger penalties during tax audits.
Hugo Engineering Solution
Deployed Hugo POS across all 3 branches with real-time cloud sync. Barcode scanning, automatic stock level updates, and cross-branch transfer tracking. eTIMS integration sends invoices to KRA automatically at the point of sale.
“The first time we transferred stock between branches and saw it update everywhere instantly — I knew this was different.”
— Amina Hassan, Operations Director

Zenith Logistics · Mombasa, Coastal Region
The Challenge
Zenith Logistics manages a fleet of 45 delivery vehicles across the Coast region. Dispatch was handled via WhatsApp groups and phone calls. Drivers reported deliveries manually, fuel consumption was estimated, and customer delivery confirmations were inconsistent.
Technical Root Cause
No centralized dispatch system meant duplicate assignments, missed deliveries, and no way to verify driver routes. Fuel logs were paper-based, making it impossible to detect waste or theft. Customer complaints about late deliveries had no backing data.
Dispatch automation means replacing phone-based driver coordination with a system that assigns routes, tracks progress, and confirms delivery — all digitally. This creates a complete record of every delivery without driver input.
Hugo Engineering Solution
Built a custom dispatch application with route optimization, real-time GPS tracking, digital delivery confirmation with photo proof, and automated fuel logging integrated with M-Pesa fuel card reconciliation.
“We finally know where every truck is, how much fuel it's using, and whether the delivery actually happened. No more guessing.”
— Omar Mwangi, Fleet Manager

Route optimization and fuel leak detection saved KSh 180,000/month
