Computer vision development in Kenya
Mobile-first, low-bandwidth products with mobile money built in, from a senior team on overlapping hours.
Clarigo Infotech builds computer vision systems that turn cameras and images into decisions: spotting defects on a production line, reading documents, monitoring safety, counting and tracking objects, and analysing video. We deploy in the cloud or at the edge, close to your cameras, and our Clarigo Factory OS product brings vision inspection to the factory floor.
Kenyan companies most often hire us for fintech and mobile-money apps, healthcare and AI.

Mobile-first and built for real conditions
African businesses need products that work on any phone and any connection, with mobile money and local payments built in.
Works on any connection
Lightweight apps and sites that stay fast on slow networks and older phones.
Mobile money and local payments
M-Pesa, Flutterwave, Paystack and card payments integrated.
Overlapping hours
Two and a half to four and a half hours from India, so most of the day overlaps.
Cost-effective delivery
Senior engineers at offshore rates with full code ownership.
What we build with computer vision
Quality and defect inspection
Check parts and products on the line in real time and flag defects before they ship.
OCR and document AI
Read invoices, IDs, forms and labels and turn them into structured data.
Safety monitoring
Detect missing PPE, restricted-zone entry and unsafe conditions, and alert supervisors.
Object detection and counting
Count, classify and track items, vehicles or people in images and video.
Video analytics
Turn camera feeds into events, dashboards and alerts.
Edge deployment
Run models on-site so they keep working offline and images never leave your premises.
How we approach Computer vision
Start with the decision, not the model
We begin by agreeing what the system must decide (pass or fail, which category, how many) and how accurate it needs to be, then collect and label the right images to train and test against.
Data and labelling
Good vision AI depends on representative images: different lighting, angles and edge cases. We set up labelling, augment where needed and keep a held-out test set to measure real accuracy.
Cloud or edge
Some use cases suit cloud processing; production lines and sensitive sites usually need edge devices next to the cameras. We design for the latency, connectivity and privacy your site requires.
People stay in control
Uncertain predictions go to a person to confirm, and every decision is logged with the image behind it, so the system improves over time and can be audited.
How we work with Kenya clients
Time-zone overlap
Kenya is two and a half hours behind India, so our working days overlap for most of the day.
Kenya's Data Protection Act 2019
We design to Kenya's Data Protection Act: lawful processing, consent, security controls and data-subject rights, and we sign NDAs before work starts.
Billing
Invoices in Kenyan shillings (KES) or US dollars. Typical senior rates are $25 to $49 (USD) per hour, or a fixed price for a defined scope.
Built for Kenya's key sectors
Kenyan startups and businesses use us for fintech and mobile-money integrations, healthcare software and AI, designed to the Data Protection Act.
Mobile money and fintech
M-Pesa made mobile payments the default for most customers. AI here usually means faster reporting, fewer manual steps and better customer replies.
Agriculture
Tea, coffee and flower exporters adopt agtech and traceability. We start with one costly process and automate it end to end.
Logistics
Mombasa port serves East Africa through tracking platforms. We build AI agents, assistants and automation around these workflows.
Tourism
Safari operators sell to international travellers online. AI here usually means faster reporting, fewer manual steps and better customer replies.

Data hosting
Nearest: AWS Africa (Cape Town) or Europe (Frankfurt), in your own cloud account, so data stays where your rules require.
How it works
Week 1: discovery and design
We agree the use case, success measures and data, and show you a clickable design.
Weeks 2-3: build and integrate
We build, connect it to your systems and data, and demo working software every week.
Week 4: test and launch
We test with real cases, add monitoring and guardrails, then go live.
After launch: improve and scale
The same engineers keep tuning quality, cost and features as usage grows.

Does it work with our existing cameras?+
Often, yes. We check resolution, angle and lighting first and recommend changes only where accuracy needs them.
How long does a computer vision project take?+
A focused pilot on one use case typically takes 4 to 8 weeks depending on data collection, then it is rolled out more widely.
