Our story
Why Oqtekal exists.
Oqtekal began with a simple observation: most organisations do not need more software — they need software that fits how they work, connects to the tools they already use, and keeps working long after launch.
So we built a company around engineering properly. We ask more questions before we write code, we ship in small, visible steps, and we stay to support what we build. Our products — from Tolkyn to our ERP, school and property systems — grew out of real client problems, and every one of them integrates with M-Pesa from day one.
Today we offer everything software-related under one roof: custom development, mobile apps, business systems, payments and integrations, data and automation, hosting and support. One team, accountable end to end.
Values
How we work, in four lines.
- 01
Clarity over cleverness
Plain language, clear scope and code the next engineer can understand.
- 02
Craft in the details
Fast pages, careful copy, tested edge cases. Quality is a hundred small decisions.
- 03
Long-term partnership
We measure success years after launch, not on the day we hand over.
- 04
Honest advice
If the simplest option is the right one — or someone else’s product fits better — we say so.
The team
