About

An African technology company, grounded in the field.

Kaada Group (KDG) is a technology company based in Abidjan. Our ambition: to accelerate digital transformation in Africa. We support businesses, institutions and organisations from defining their digital strategy through to the design, development, integration and rollout of solutions tailored to their needs.

Who we are

Technology expertise informed by international practice, applied to African realities.

We work in digital transformation consulting, software and web and mobile application development, information systems, cloud, artificial intelligence, process automation and making the most of data.

Agriculture holds a strategic place in our approach. For our clients, we design solutions that improve operations management, traceability, the use of data and decision-making in agricultural value chains. It is our speciality, not our limit.

Our strength lies in bringing three things together: technology, knowledge of agricultural issues and an understanding of African economic and operational realities, from intermittent connectivity to mobile money payments. Our ambition is to make digital technology a practical lever for performance, competitiveness and progress in Africa.

Producers and cooperatives, traceability, regulatory compliance, mapping, geospatial data and decision support: we know agricultural value chains and what they require.

Connectivity, infrastructure, user skills, budgets and local practices: we design for real-world conditions of use. The right technology, an understanding of the business and the realities of the field.

Our way of working

How we work in Africa.

Our advantage is not a particular technology. It is knowing the conditions in which your tools will be used.

The cooperative as the client

We design tools that the cooperative uses itself, not just data collection tools for the buyer’s benefit.

The network as it really is

Offline first, synchronisation as soon as the network is back, lightweight data.

Local payments

Mobile money integration to pay producers, collectors and agents.

The value chain calendar

Rollouts planned before the season opens, and training outside peak buying periods.

Building on what exists

Cleaning and merging registries and maps scattered across several providers.

Your data belongs to you

Exports in open formats and no vendor lock-in.
