What Beacon Creek does

Beacon Creek is a software studio in Nairobi, Kenya. We do two kinds of work: we build and run our own products, and we build software and automations for other businesses. This post explains both, and how working with us starts.

Our own products

Each product has its own site, and soon its own blog for the people who use it.

• ConfiRent is for property in Kenya: verified rentals, homes for sale, short stays and new developments. Landlords request rent by M-Pesa with 0% commission, and chats are checked for common rental-scam patterns.
• CadenceApp is one workspace for customer teams: calling, collections, messages and AI replies, in place of a separate dialer, spreadsheet, WhatsApp, email and CRM.
• ConfiLearn is a Kenyan learning marketplace with verified tutors, live classes in the browser, and CBC to KCSE exam prep in English or Kiswahili.
• LookFinesse is a Kenya-first marketplace for fashion, beauty and fitness. Clients book salons and shop nearby; vendors get bookings, staff shifts, client profiles and a till in one dashboard.
• Convoria is a language app with 12 languages, an AI tutor you can talk to, and lessons that work offline, on Android and the web.

The products share one hub for email, SMS, WhatsApp, voice and payments, so improvements in one place reach all of them. You can see how it works on the hub page.

Work we do for other businesses

AI automation

We start with one repetitive task, such as replying to new enquiries, sending reminders or following up on quotes, and set it up on the tools you already use. It begins with a free 20-minute audit. You can browse ready-made automations to see the kind of work we mean.

Custom software

When an off-the-shelf tool does not fit how your business works, we design and build software for it. Every project starts with a free call, and you get a written quote before we build anything. You keep the software.

Managed IT

For teams that need their computers and accounts looked after, we offer backup and disaster recovery, antivirus and endpoint protection, firewall and network security, and Microsoft 365 setup and support. Each is quoted after a free assessment.

How working with us starts

1. Book a free call and tell us what takes up your team's time.
2. We look at how the work is done today and say plainly whether software or an automation would help.
3. If it would, you get a written quote. Nothing is built until you agree to it.

After something is live, we can keep it running and improving on a monthly retainer.

What this blog will cover

We will write about how we build, what we learn from running our own products, and practical notes on automation and software for businesses. Product-specific news goes on each product's own blog.
