Software & Custom Development
Purpose-built applications for data capture, field reporting, and asset management — engineered to perform in low-bandwidth, offline-first African environments.
Off-the-shelf software is built for the Global North stable connectivity, reliable power, and desktop-first workflows. African operations demand something different. Dali Geotech Ltd designs and builds custom software from the ground up, shaped around the realities of the field: intermittent internet, mobile-first teams, multilingual users, and data that must be trusted even when it was collected offline three days ago.
From lightweight Android apps used by community health workers in rural Tanzania to enterprise web platforms managing thousands of infrastructure assets across multiple countries, we have the depth to tackle any scope and the discipline to deliver on time, on budget, and built to last.
Every application we build is engineered offline-first by default. Data is captured and stored locally on the device, synced automatically when connectivity is restored, and conflict-resolved intelligently so nothing is ever lost. Our apps are tested on 2G and 3G networks, optimised for low-end Android hardware, and localised in Swahili, French, Arabic, and other African languages as required. When the network drops and it will your teams keep working.
A full-stack development team delivering web platforms, mobile applications, and system integrations tailored to complex African operational contexts.
Custom Android and iOS applications for field surveys, inspections, and monitoring with offline storage, GPS tagging, photo capture, and configurable form logic that adapts to your data model.
Responsive web applications for programme management, beneficiary registration, permit tracking, asset registers, and workflow automation — accessible from any browser on any device.
Bespoke relational and spatial databases designed around your exact data structures with role-based access control, audit trails, versioning, and multi-tenant architecture where required.
We connect disparate systems ERP, CRM, GIS, IoT platforms, government registries through robust APIs and middleware, eliminating manual data transfers and creating a unified information flow across your organisation.
Applications with embedded spatial functionality interactive maps, route planning, territory management, proximity alerts, and field force tracking — powered by open-source and cloud geospatial engines.
We assess, redesign, and migrate ageing desktop or server-based systems to modern, cloud-ready architectures preserving historical data, retraining staff, and eliminating fragile single points of failure.
An agile, Africa-tested delivery methodology that keeps you involved at every stage and ensures the final product works the way your teams actually work.
We spend time in the field with your end users — understanding workflows, pain points, connectivity conditions, and device constraints before writing a single specification.
We build low- and high-fidelity prototypes, validated with real users, before development begins. UI decisions are tested against literacy levels, screen sizes, and local language requirements.
Agile two-week sprints with regular demos and feedback loops. We deploy to a staging environment continuously so you can test real functionality not just mockups throughout the build.
We manage production deployment, conduct in-person user training, and provide post-launch support with defined SLAs ensuring adoption, not just delivery.
We have delivered custom software across a wide range of sectors and contexts here are some of the problems we solve.
Mobile apps for CHWs to register households, record visits, flag referrals, and sync data to district health offices working reliably in areas with no data connectivity.
Web platforms for utilities and road agencies to log, inspect, and maintain assets with condition scoring, maintenance scheduling, work-order workflows, and GIS map views.
End-to-end systems for NGOs and social protection programmes to enrol, verify, track, and report on beneficiaries — with deduplication, biometric-readiness, and donor-aligned reporting.
Custom permit issuance, fee collection, and compliance tracking systems for local government authorities — replacing manual paper registers with auditable digital workflows.
Apps for extension officers to conduct farmer surveys, distribute advisories, log input distribution, and track crop progress across large smallholder networks in rural areas.
Custom platforms that ingest sensor data, field observations, and satellite imagery into a unified monitoring system with automated alerts when thresholds are breached.
We are technology-pragmatic choosing the right tool for each context rather than forcing every project into a single stack. Below are the core technologies we work with.
