A lot of Information Technology (IT) firms in this area have their existing customers most of them have been focusing on governmental project, other are servicing the informal sector however you look at it, we got a lot of client appreciating us for rendering exceptional services and giving them value for their business in a simple and effective way. We strongly believe that the IT ecosystem is robust and there is no need heading to Lagos for IT solutions. “

Our self-Tracer apps is so special to us, we develop this apps basically for parental control but as time evolve, we saw the need of extending the services to corporate organisation and government agency. Talking of effectiveness the apps is so effective, the sole purpose is to monitor the movement of yourself and family especially in this current security situation, there is need for self-tracing and when there is an emergency with a click on the apps notify your family member or anyone you add on hotspot on your current location And if for any reason your phone turn off and SIM card is changed, Once the phone is turn on the apps notify the admin through the cloud based system.”
