Kernel
Who is it for

Kernel for services companies

Outsource and structure your operations and administrative management in Africa: back-office, support, in-house HR, accounting, procurement.

Your challenges

Services companies looking to gain competitiveness increasingly look to Africa for their operational and administrative functions. The case is rational: qualified profiles, aligned time zones, common language, economic competitiveness. The challenge is to structure the setup without compromising quality or compliance. Kernel acts as a dedicated African HR partner to build this team: rigorous recruitment via Kernel Recruit, EOR hiring, payroll via Kernel HR & Payroll, workspace via Kernel Office where needed. Your European teams focus on steering and clients.

  • Process standardisation

    Building an African back-office requires documenting and standardising processes for quality.

  • Shared tools

    CRM, ERP, ticketing: African teams must access the same tools with the right permissions.

  • Data security

    Some data processed is sensitive. Compliance must be documented.

  • Service continuity

    Extended hours, different public holidays: continuity must be designed.
