Computer vision development in Nigeria

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.

Nigerian companies most often hire us for fintech, e-commerce and AI products.

What matters to Nigeria teams

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.

01

Works on any connection

Lightweight apps and sites that stay fast on slow networks and older phones.

02

Mobile money and local payments

M-Pesa, Flutterwave, Paystack and card payments integrated.

03

Overlapping hours

Two and a half to four and a half hours from India, so most of the day overlaps.

04

Cost-effective delivery

Senior engineers at offshore rates with full code ownership.

What we do

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.

In depth

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.

Working with us from Nigeria

Built for Nigerian teams

Time-zone overlap

Nigeria is four and a half hours behind India, so our working days overlap for most of your morning and early afternoon.

The Nigeria Data Protection Act 2023 (NDPA)

We design to the NDPA: lawful basis, consent, security controls and data-subject rights, and we sign NDAs before work starts.

Billing

Invoices in Nigerian naira (NGN) or US dollars. Typical senior rates are $25 to $49 (USD) per hour, or a fixed price for a defined scope.

Sectors · Nigeria

Where we help Nigeria businesses most

Nigerian fintech, e-commerce and services companies work with us on platforms, payment integrations and AI products, designed to the NDPA.

Fintech and payments

Lagos fintechs build payments for a fast-growing digital market. We start with one costly process and automate it end to end.

Oil and gas

Energy firms digitise field operations and compliance. We build AI agents, assistants and automation around these workflows.

Entertainment (Nollywood, Afrobeats)

Creators and studios monetise global audiences online. AI here usually means faster reporting, fewer manual steps and better customer replies.

Telecoms

Mobile operators drive data, payments and USSD services. We start with one costly process and automate it end to end.

Process

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.
