Cash Transfer
System of non-cash money transfers for the countries of the African continent
Client Background
Our client is a software product development company that develops and implements new information technologies in Africa. The company has a small own software development center, so for the implementation of this project, they turned to LineUp for consulting. This project was the key product being developed by the company for the next few years and was created to meet the growing demand for a simple and convenient solution for non-cash money transfers between Africans.
Business challenge
Due to the development of the economy and the quality of life of the population in Africa, there has occurred an urgent need for information technologies that would simplify financial relations between people. Should also be mentioned that many people in other countries of the world felt the need for a simple and convenient solution for the money transfer to their relatives in Africa. All existing money transfer systems offered a high commission for their services and inconvenient procedures for sending and receiving money. Therefore, our client decided to develop his own software product, a money transfer system, with a low commission, convenient mechanism for input-output of money and the absence of the need for physical presence in a bank or other financial institution.

Client review
To implement this complex innovation project, we turned to the LineUp team because of their successful experience working with many clients from the African continent. A significant factor in favor of LineUp when choosing as a partner was also the presence in their staff of professional managers, native French speakers. These features have allowed us to effectively build the communication process and accelerate the development of our product. Besides, I want to note the professionalism of the design team, which managed to exceed our expectations from the UI/UX of the product. The development team also worked at a high level and delivered a solution at the right time that fully met our requirements. At the moment we are continuing our cooperation in the development of this product and are considering options for expanding interaction in many areas.
