Kernel
Use case

Build an optimal working environment for your African teams

Professional workspaces and IT equipment delivered, configured and supported locally, across all of Africa.

The challenge to solve

Full remote work is not always suited to African realities: connectivity varies city by city, power cuts remain frequent in several countries, the home environment is sometimes not conducive to focused work. For most functions, a professional workspace remains a key performance factor.

On the equipment side, the difficulty is even more marked: importing professional hardware, configuring it to your standards, delivering it securely to the employee, managing warranty and support, retrieving devices at end of mission. Without a structured setup, practices remain improvised and IT security suffers.

The challenge is to provide, in every country, a working environment worthy of a large company, without bearing the country-by-country logistical and contractual complexity.
