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.
