Our Ambition
Africa is not just a source of raw materials and a market for finished goods. It is a continent of 1.4 billion people with boundless potential, unique challenges, and an interconnected future that demands purpose-built solutions.
We believe businesses in Africa deserve enterprise software built by people who understand realities in Africa—not adapted from solutions designed for different markets with different assumptions. Predictiv exists to provide exactly that: world-class ERP capabilities delivered through an Africa-first lens.
Our ambition is to enable forward-thinking businesses in Africa to grow their markets, serve their customers better, and in doing so, transform the continent for the better.
The Digital Divide Is Real—And Growing
The AI revolution promises extraordinary productivity gains, but without intentional action, it risks widening the gap between Africa and the developed world. When AI training data, development priorities, and product roadmaps are determined entirely in Silicon Valley, Frankfurt, or Singapore, businesses in Africa become an afterthought.
We are building AI capabilities that understand business contexts in Africa—document formats, regulatory requirements, market dynamics, and operational realities that global vendors simply don't prioritise.
Mobile-First Is Not Optional
Africa didn't follow the desktop-to-mobile evolution of the developed world. The continent leapfrogged directly to mobile, and for many users, a smartphone is their only computing device.
Predictiv is built mobile-first because that's the reality of business in Africa. Our field sales teams, warehouse workers, delivery drivers, and managers operate primarily from mobile devices—often in areas with unreliable connectivity. We've designed for this reality from the ground up, not as an afterthought.
Connectivity Is Changing Everything
The combination of expanding cellular infrastructure and new LEO satellite providers like Starlink is transforming what's possible across the continent. Areas that were digitally isolated are coming online. Businesses that couldn't participate in the digital economy now can.
We're building for this connected future—but also for the present reality of intermittent connectivity. Our offline-first architecture ensures businesses can operate continuously, syncing when connectivity allows rather than failing when it doesn't.
Standing on the Shoulders of Giants
We don't believe in reinventing the wheel. The developed world has invested billions in enterprise software concepts, patterns, and practices. We leverage this investment, building on the open-source Openbravo platform and incorporating proven approaches from decades of ERP evolution.
But we compose and extend these foundations for contexts in Africa. Multi-currency handling designed for volatile exchange rates. Tax compliance for ZIMRA, SARS, and regional authorities. Mobile money integration because that's how payments work here. WhatsApp and USSD interfaces because that's how people communicate.
Local Knowledge, Global Standards
The global ERP vendors—SAP, Oracle, Microsoft—build products for their largest markets. Africa is an afterthought, served through partners who localise as best they can but lack the mandate to truly adapt the product.
We are different. We are based in Africa. We understand business in Africa because we live it. Our team has decades of experience implementing and supporting enterprise systems across the continent. This isn't theoretical knowledge—it's earned understanding from working with businesses through currency crises, infrastructure challenges, and market transformations.
