ABOUT
Software Built for the African Market
Zerne Technologies is a product engineering company based in Lagos, Nigeria. We build SaaS products, fintech platforms, and bespoke digital infrastructure for businesses across the continent.
Who We Are
Zerne Technologies was founded with a simple belief: African businesses deserve software that works as hard as they do. Not imported solutions retrofitted for local conditions. Not MVPs that never scale. Real products, built by people who understand the market.
We are a team of engineers, designers, and product thinkers based in Lagos. We have built digital banking platforms used by thousands, AI systems that run entirely on-premises for financial compliance, and SaaS products licensed to businesses across Nigeria.
Our work spans the full stack — from mobile apps and web dashboards to core banking integrations, payment infrastructure, and machine learning pipelines. We have shipped on the Google Play Store, the Apple App Store, and into enterprise data centres.
What We Do
We operate across three modes:
Licensed SaaS Products
Drissle (AI marketing automation) and Phylar (workflow & approvals) are our flagship products, licensed to businesses that need ready-made solutions.
Fintech & Banking Builds
We design, build, and deploy digital banking platforms, payment gateways, and financial infrastructure — end to end, compliant by design.
Bespoke Software Studio
For companies that need something unique, we act as an embedded engineering partner: strategy, design, build, launch, and ongoing support.
VALUES
How We Work
These principles guide every product decision, engineering trade-off, and client conversation.
Product-First
We ship products people actually use. Every line of code serves a real user need, not a presentation deck.
Compliance-Ready
We build with Nigerian financial regulations in mind from day one. CBN, NIBSS, PCI-DSS — we know the landscape.
Africa-Native
We understand the local context: payment rails, user behaviour, infrastructure constraints, and opportunity.
Team-Owned
Small teams, high ownership. Engineers who build features also support them in production. No handoffs.
AI-Native
Artificial intelligence is not a bolt-on feature. It is woven into our product design process from the first sketch.
Group-Backed
Backed by Zerne Group — patient capital that lets us think in decades, not funding rounds.
