The leak
Kenyan businesses aren't short of hustle. They're short of hours.
Every unanswered WhatsApp, every hand-typed invoice, every M-Pesa line reconciled by eye — that is revenue leaking out one minute at a time. Here is roughly what it is worth.
Leaking since midnight, on the assumptions below
That is about KSh 4,500 a day — on the order of KSh 1,640,000 a year — walking out of one business, on enquiries that arrived when nobody was there to answer them.
A model, not a measurement. It assumes 30 enquiries a day, 40% of them arriving outside working hours, a 15-point difference in conversion between an enquiry answered in minutes and the same one answered next morning, and an average order of KSh 2,500. Your numbers will be different — that is exactly what the first conversation is for.
The old way
- Enquiries sit unread in WhatsApp until someone opens the phone in the morning
- Invoices, receipts and M-Pesa reconciliation done by hand, line by line
- A website that looks fine and brings in nothing
- Sales, customers and stock scattered across spreadsheets that disagree
- The owner is the only person who can quote, so quoting stops when they travel
The Techmode way
- Every enquiry answered in seconds, at any hour, with the order taken in the chat
- Invoicing, receipting and reconciliation running themselves, with exceptions flagged
- A site built to be found, and to turn the visit into a message you can act on
- One place where the work, the customers and the numbers actually live
- Anyone can quote, from one price list, with approval where it matters
What we do
Eleven services, three jobs.
Automate the busywork. Build the software. Grow the sales. Pick the problem you need solved — we will handle the technology.
01 / 03
Automate
AI agents and connected workflows that take over data entry, paperwork, approvals, and reporting — so your team works on growth, not admin.
02 / 03
Build
Websites, mobile apps, and SaaS products engineered to rank on Google, load fast on Kenyan networks, and convert visitors into customers.
03 / 03
Grow
WhatsApp and marketing automation that captures every lead, follows up instantly, and closes sales where Kenya already chats.
Not sure which service fits?
Three questions. One place to start.
Answer as the owner, not as a technical person. We will point you at the service that usually solves your version of the problem — and show you the runner-up, because three questions cannot be certain.
Nothing is submitted and nothing is stored. The result is worked out in your browser.
Answer the three questions above and a recommendation appears here.
Capability Lab
We are new. So use it, don't trust it.
No client logos, no invented results. Three of the systems we install are running right here on this page — type into them, break them, see what they do.
Demo 1 · WhatsApp Automation & AI Agents
WhatsApp AI agent sandbox
Enquiries come in at midnight and I answer at 8am — by then they have bought somewhere else.
An AI agent on the official WhatsApp Business API that answers, qualifies, quotes and takes the M-Pesa payment in the chat.
- Every enquiry answered in seconds, at any hour, in the language it arrived in
- Orders arrive already qualified — items, area, delivery fee and total agreed
- Payment collected in the same conversation, with the receipt sent automatically
Message a fictional Westlands grocer and watch the agent answer, qualify, quote and raise an M-Pesa prompt.

Demo 2 · Web Development
M-Pesa checkout flow
Sales happen in Instagram DMs. Sizes get confused, payments get chased by hand, and orders get lost in the thread.
A mobile-first storefront with M-Pesa STK-push checkout, automatic WhatsApp receipts and stock that updates itself.
- Checkout finished in under a minute, on the phone the customer already holds
- Receipts and delivery updates sent without anyone typing them
- Stock, orders and payments agreeing with each other in one place
Add to cart, run the STK push, and watch the receipt, the WhatsApp confirmation and the stock count update.
Demo — not a live transaction

Demo 3 · AI Lead Qualification
The response race
We do reply to everyone. Just not always the same day — and I have no idea what that actually costs us.
An agent that answers and scores every enquiry on arrival, then routes the ones worth a human straight to the right person.
- First reply measured in seconds instead of hours, including out of hours
- Sales time spent on enquiries that already qualified, not on sorting them
- A number you can act on for what a slow reply is costing this month
Start two clocks — a manual reply against an agent reply — then set your own enquiry volume and see the gap in leads.

Running something not listed? Most systems with an API can be connected, and where one has none we will tell you what the workaround costs before you commit.

04
Grow
We launch, measure, and optimize — turning the solution into compounding results.

Questions
Answers, up front.
How long does a typical project take?
Most automation projects launch in 2–6 weeks, websites in 3–6 weeks, and MVP apps in 6–12 weeks. Exact timelines depend on scope, and we work in fast iterations so you see progress early.
Do you work with small businesses or only large companies?
Both. We serve solo founders, SMEs, and large organizations across Nairobi, Kenya, and East Africa, scoping each solution to fit your stage and budget.
Can you build an online store with M-Pesa for my retail business?
Yes. We build mobile-first e-commerce stores with M-Pesa STK-push checkout, automatic order confirmations and delivery updates on WhatsApp, and one dashboard for stock, orders, and repeat customers.
Do you work with consultants and professional firms?
Yes. For consultants, law firms, accountants, and advisory practices we build client intake portals, document automation, appointment booking, and billing workflows that give you your billable hours back.
Can you integrate M-Pesa and WhatsApp?
Yes — M-Pesa (Daraja API) and the official WhatsApp Business API are core parts of what we build. Payments, receipts, order updates, and AI chat all work together out of the box.
What does it cost?
Websites typically start from KSh 120,000, automation projects from KSh 80,000, and SaaS or mobile apps from KSh 450,000. Every project is scoped to your needs — book a free consultation for a clear, no-obligation estimate.
Do you offer support after launch?
Always. We stay on as your growth partner — monitoring, maintaining, and improving what we build so it keeps delivering results.
Can you automate our social media and marketing?
Yes. We set up AI-assisted content creation, cross-platform scheduling, auto-reply DM flows, and campaign analytics — so your brand stays visible on Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, LinkedIn, and X without daily manual work.
Do you build automation for legal or finance teams?
We do. For law firms we automate document drafting, client intake, and court-date tracking. For finance teams we automate invoicing, M-Pesa and bank reconciliation, expense approvals, and audit trails.
What is an AI lead qualification system?
It's an AI agent that responds to every enquiry in seconds — on WhatsApp, email, or your website — asks the right qualifying questions, scores each lead, and routes the hot ones straight to your sales team with full context.
