Groundwork Tech builds the software Nigerian businesses run on — payments that clear, records that reconcile, and systems that hold up at month-end. Not a moonshot. The foundation under the thing you already do.

Services
We stay narrow on purpose. Every engagement below starts with a paid scoping week, so you know the number before you commit to the build.
Most companies outgrow spreadsheets long before they replace them. This is the system that replaces them — built around how your team already works.
Android-first, because that is what your customers are holding. Built light enough to work on a 3G connection in Kano.
Collections, payouts and reconciliation wired correctly the first time — including the failure cases that only show up in production.
Software needs an owner after launch. If that person is not on your payroll yet, we can be that owner for as long as you need.
How we work
Projects go wrong in the wrong order — screens first, then the data model bends to fit them. We invert it.
A paid discovery week. We sit with your team, map what you actually do, and hand you a written scope with a fixed price — yours to keep, even if you walk.
Data model, accounts, permissions, payments and the deploy pipeline — all standing before a single screen gets designed.
Two-week cycles. At the end of every cycle you get a working link, not a status report. You steer what comes next.
Your code, your hosting, your accounts — in your name from day one, documented. Keep us on retainer or don't. No lock-in.
Pricing
You should not have to sit through a call to find out whether you can afford us. These are starting figures; the scoping week confirms the real number in writing.
Payment in two or three tranches by bank transfer. Invoices carry our RC number and TIN.
Clients outside Nigeria billed in USD on request.
Groundwork Labs — our own products
A marketplace where Nigerian teachers sell their video courses, and students buy permanent access to them. One payment, no subscription.
A teacher records a course, sets a price in naira, and publishes it. A student pays once through Paystack and keeps that course for good. Eighty-five percent of the list price settles to the teacher, and the card fee is itemised at checkout rather than quietly taken out of what they earn.
It is Android-first, because the students it is built for are paying for their own data. Flutter on the phone, Supabase and row-level security behind it, and every payment confirmed server-side before access is granted.
Why it is on this page. It is the shortest way to show you what we do. The things we sell — payments that reconcile, mobile that survives a bad connection, permissions you can actually trust — we run in production on our own money first.
Contact
A message describing the problem in your own words is enough to start — you do not need a spec. We will tell you honestly whether it is something we should build, something you should buy off the shelf, or something you do not need yet.
We are based in Abuja and work remote-first across Nigeria, on WAT hours.
