What Beacon Creek builds in Nairobi

We're a small software studio in Nairobi. Most days that means building our own products, and building custom software for Kenyan and African businesses. When a team wants a hand with the systems it already runs, we also take on AI automation and managed IT.

You won't find a wall of client logos or results here, because we're not going to make any up. This is just who we are and what's already live.

If you want to talk, write to hello@beaconcreek.co.ke, ring 0706 397 373, or book a free 20-minute audit from the website. We get back to people within one to two business days. And we don't take a deposit until we've agreed the work and what success looks like.

So what do you actually do?

On the company homepage we split it into three lines of work, plus a custom build for when none of our products is the right fit.

The first is AI automation. We take one repetitive job, maybe replies, reminders or follow-ups, and set it up on tools you already use. That could be WhatsApp, SMS, email, web chat, voice, a CRM or Google Sheets, and M-Pesa. We don't start by rolling out new software on day one. We start with a free 20-minute audit. There's a whole post on deciding what's worth automating, When to automate WhatsApp, SMS and reminders — and when not to.

We don't start by rolling out new software on day one. We start with a free 20-minute audit.

The second is our products, tools a Kenyan team can pick up and start on by themselves.

The one closest to home is the Communications & Payments Hub, which puts SMS, WhatsApp and Paystack collections into one workflow, if that's the job you need done. ConfiRent handles property and rent operations in Kenya, with a promise of 0% commission on rent, though live payments and paid-plan checkout are paused until launch. Lenders, SACCOs, MFIs, agencies and BPOs use CadenceApp as a workspace for calling, collections, messages and the operations around them.

For families and learners there's ConfiLearn, a learning marketplace with verified tutors, live classes in the browser and CBC to KCSE practice, in English or Kiswahili. LookFinesse is a Kenya-first marketplace for fashion, beauty and fitness, with a booking desk for salons, barbers and gyms (its own .co.ke domain isn't live yet). And Convoria is our language app, with twelve languages including Kiswahili, an AI tutor you can talk to, and offline packs.

Each product is getting its own blog, written for the people who'd buy it. This blog is for the studio and agency side of things, with a "From our products" strip pointing across to the others.

The third line is managed IT, meaning backups, endpoints and the day-to-day support for teams that want help running what they already have. We'll write that one up properly later.

Every one of the commercial apps with a sign-up is free for 30 days, and you don't need a card.

Why no case studies?

Because we'd rather show you where to start than invent proof. The site has industry pages for real estate, schools, clinics, SACCOs, retail and restaurants. The homepage also shows example workflows, things like appointment reminders, SACCO repayment reminders and school fee notices, and every one of them is labelled illustrative. They aren't client testimonials and they aren't measured results. When a real client agrees to be quoted, that's when we'll publish a quote.

If you've spotted an "hours saved" figure somewhere on the site, check the label beside it. Where it says the figure is an example, we're not going to pass it off as proof here.

Got one workflow you'd like a second pair of eyes on? Book a free 20-minute audit or write to hello@beaconcreek.co.ke. No deposit until we agree.

How does working with us usually start?

Mostly with that audit, or an email. On the call we look at one workflow, not your whole company, and tell you honestly whether a product, an automation, a custom build or managed IT fits it better.

If we decide to go ahead, we agree the success criteria before any deposit. That's the "no deposit until we agree" line you'll see on the site, and we mean it.

Sometimes one of our products is all you need, say setting up a building in ConfiRent or starting a CadenceApp trial. Then you can just start that trial yourself, still without a card, and we'll get out of your way.

In the meantime, How automations work is already on the site.

Kenyan privacy rules

We wrote the privacy materials for the company and all the products with the Data Protection Act, 2019 in mind. The Office of the Data Protection Commissioner is the public authority that registers data handlers and takes complaints. If you send SMS or run a short code, the Communications Authority of Kenya is the public regulator for telecommunications and related consumer issues. Tax registration and filing sit with the Kenya Revenue Authority. Later on we'll do a plain-language walk through the Act for SMEs, though it won't be legal advice.

If you're comparing "software companies in Nairobi" or "AI automation companies in Kenya", the questions worth asking are pretty ordinary. Is the company registered? What's live already? Can you start without paying a deposit? Are prices quoted in the open? We've tried to set the studio up so we can answer all of them.
