  • Natural conversation transaction capture
  • Automatic cash logging — no manual entry
  • MoMo payment prompt triggers
  • Real-time dashboard for owners and managers
  • Attendant and station performance tracking
In Development

Built for Africa.
By Africans.

Sub-Saharan Africa's informal economy is vast, resilient, and almost entirely undigitised. Hundreds of millions of traders and workers power their communities every day with no infrastructure supporting them — not because they lack ambition, but because the tools were never built for them.

Marketvoice Technologies is changing that. We are building the commerce layer for Africa's informal economy — starting with voice, starting with Ghana, and scaling across the continent.

Back the commerce
infrastructure of Africa.

We are raising a Friends & Family round to fund the Makola AI pilot — deploying field agents, onboarding 100 vendors in Ghana, and proving the model before we scale across Sub-Saharan Africa.

This is an early opportunity to be part of something being built from the ground up, for a market that is ready and waiting.
