About Roote
A phone in use on a street in Tanzania

  • Built and supported in Tanzania

    Design, engineering and support by our own team in Dar es Salaam, in the same time zone and the same language as your staff.

  • Made for how business is done here

    M-Pesa, Airtel Money and the other mobile wallets, WhatsApp, SMS, Kiswahili and English, and screens that work on any phone.

  • Secure by design

    Roles and permissions for every user, encrypted connections, daily backups and an audit trail of who did what.

  • You see it before it is built

    Every project starts with a design you approve and a written scope, and is delivered in stages you can open and try.

  • One accountable team

    The people who build your system are the people who answer when you call. No middlemen, no passing the blame.

  • We stay after launch

    Subscribe and we run it for you indefinitely; buy and we cover it for six months, then stay one call away.

Products of our own

Alongside client work, Roote builds its own products. Each one is explained on its own page.

Roove

Campaign and market intelligence

Roote Track

GPS tracking and fuel-theft detection
Responsibility

What we hold ourselves to

We handle other people's data and other people's words. These are the commitments that come with that, written down so they can be held against us.

All commitments

Consent and compensation

Nobody answers our questions by accident, and nobody answers them for free.

Data and privacy

Personal answers stay personal. Clients buy the finding, never the person who gave it.

Evidence over assertion

Every number we publish can be traced back to the evidence that produced it.
