Work With Flux
We take on a small number of external engagements each year — both bespoke build projects and research commissions. All work is grounded in the same field-first methodology we apply to our own products.
Bespoke Software & Hardware
We design and build custom technology solutions for African institutions — translated for local infrastructure, payment systems, and operational context. Not generic software deployments. Not whitelabelled SaaS. Purpose-built, from the ground up, for the specific institution.
Engagements begin with a scoping phase. We understand the institution's workflows, data landscape, connectivity, and user base before writing a single line of code.
- →Enterprise field operations platform for a Nairobi water utility (AccessWASH)
- →Automated onboarding and workforce optimisation platform for a US staffing company
- →Parliamentary casework and CDF tracking system for Kenya's constituency offices (BungeConnect)
- →Real-time analytics dashboards for water demand forecasting
All commissioned builds include: requirements research · system design · development · testing · deployment · handover documentation · 90-day post-launch support.
Paid Research & Policy Analysis
We conduct rigorous field research, quantitative analysis, and policy work for development finance institutions, governments, NGOs, and foundations working on institutional reform in Africa.
Our research is grounded in primary data — field visits, utility datasets, stakeholder consultations — not secondary literature reviews. We have worked across 45+ water utilities, multiple constituency offices, and the Kenyan SACCO sector.
