ANED Development Center
ANED Development Center is the engineering subsidiary of The ANED Group — and the force behind every product in the ANED Suite. We are a pan-African collective of software engineers, architects, designers, and researchers bound by a single conviction: that Africa's most transformative technology will be built by African engineers who understand African problems at their roots.
We built ANED Suite — 18+ interconnected products spanning enterprise ERP, humanitarian management, productivity, security, AI, developer tools, and analytics. Every product shares the same identity layer, data layer, AI layer, and notification backbone. That is the ecosystem. Our engineering centers across East and West Africa are the engine behind it.
"The most impactful software for Africa will be built by African engineers who understand Africa. That is the foundation on which ANED stands."

Africa-First by Design
Every product is built for African infrastructure — offline-first, low-bandwidth, mobile money, 50+ currencies, and 40+ African languages built in.
One Ecosystem, Not 18 Tools
All 18 products share the same identity layer, data layer, file storage, notifications, and AI — so every product works better together.
Modular — Start Small, Grow Big
Subscribe to what you need. Add modules as you grow. Every product is independently useful but exponentially more powerful when combined.
Multi-Country, Multi-Language
English, French, Arabic, Swahili, Hausa, Yoruba, Amharic, Zulu and 30+ more African languages. All 54 African country tax and payroll engines included.
The Ecosystem Architecture
Every product in ANED Suite shares five foundational layers. This is what makes the ecosystem compound in value — the more products you use, the more powerful each one becomes.
ANED Auth — Identity Layer
Single sign-on across all 18+ products. One login, one identity, one permission system. Every product authenticates through ANED Auth.
ANED DB — Data Layer
Managed PostgreSQL with row-level security, real-time subscriptions, and a REST API. Every product stores data through ANED DB with full tenant isolation.
Soro — Notifications Layer
Real-time chat and the notification backbone for the entire ecosystem. Invoice paid? ERP alerts via Soro. Build failed? Orisun notifies via Soro. Every event flows through one channel.
Tola — File Storage Layer
Every file across every product — ERP invoices, CRM attachments, field photos, chat uploads, meeting recordings — all stored and managed through Tola.
ANED AI — Intelligence Layer
Cash flow forecasting, anomaly detection, demand forecasting, carbon estimation, and African language NLP. One AI platform powering intelligence across every product.

How We Build ANED Suite
Continuous delivery across 18+ products, every week
ANED Suite is never done — it compounds. Our engineering teams across Africa ship improvements to every product in the ecosystem on a weekly cadence, driven by real usage data from Palo analytics and direct feedback from organisations running on ANED Suite.
Meet the engineering teamWeekly Release Cycles
Every product ships weekly through Orisun CI/CD. Trunk-based development, automated testing, zero big-bang releases. New capabilities reach every tenant simultaneously.
Africa-First Quality Gates
Every feature must pass the Africa Standard before merge: tested on 2G/3G, offline-first validated, mobile money integrated, WCAG 2.1 accessible, localised across 40+ African languages.
Community-Driven Roadmap
Organisations using ANED Suite vote on what gets built next. Palo tracks real usage patterns. The roadmap is shaped by data and community — not internal assumptions about what Africa needs.
Security from Commit One
Every PR goes through Canedo security scanning. Multi-tenant PostgreSQL RLS enforced at the database level. OWASP Top 10 automated in CI/CD. No exceptions, no shortcuts.
