A Corporate Technology Business Built for Real-World Transformation.
Headquartered in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, Makoso Technologies Company Limited is an institutional technology corporation and software engineering firm. We build proprietary digital products—such as our Wakala Nami float exchange platform—and engineer custom enterprise software, mobile applications, and business automation systems for commercial organizations across Tanzania and East Africa.
Why We Exist
Across Africa, thousands of high-potential enterprises remain constrained by obsolete operational practices. Critical business data resides in paper-based registers, untracked spreadsheets, fragmented messaging threads, and verbal agreements.
This creates severe operational vulnerabilities: delayed financial reconciliation, lack of executive oversight, administrative overhead, and leakage of organizational capital.
Makoso Technologies was founded to bridge this exact divide. We engineer practical, dependable, and scalable digital solutions that transform complex manual workflows into clean, automated, and auditable digital systems.
“We don’t start with code. We start with the business. We first master how your operation actually functions, identify the structural friction, and engineer technology that fits your exact commercial reality.”

Wakala Nami — Intelligent Float Exchange Platform.
Developed and published by Makoso Technologies, Wakala Nami is an enterprise float exchange platform and mobile money agent management solution in Tanzania, engineered to orchestrate liquidity between Super Agents and Retail Agents across M-Pesa, Tigo Pesa, Airtel Money, and Halopesa.
Modernizing Mobile Money Float Liquidity in East Africa
In Africa’s multi-billion dollar mobile money ecosystem, Super Agents distribute float liquidity across networks to thousands of daily retail kiosks. Historically managed via handwritten books and chaotic phone calls, this vital flow suffered from delayed settlements, cash theft, and balance discrepancies.
Wakala Nami digitizes this entire float value chain. It provides super agents and retail operators with real-time balance tracking, multi-network exchange requests, instant automated reconciliation, and tamper-proof digital audit ledgers.
Retail agents initiate float requests and receive verified allocations in seconds.
Every single Tanzanian Shilling (TZS) is tracked across a double-entry ledger with instant end-of-day reconciliation.
Super agents gain real-time visibility into branch cash holdings, pending exchanges, and total network liquidity.
| AGENT ID | LOCATION | NETWORK | AMOUNT (TZS) | STATUS |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| WK-8821 | Kariakoo Market | M-Pesa → Cash | 2,500,000 | SETTLED |
| WK-4109 | Posta CBD | Tigo Pesa | 1,800,000 | SETTLED |
| WK-9233 | Mlimani City | Airtel Money | 750,000 | ALLOCATING |
