Kenya IT Sector: Sailesh Savani Shares his Vision for Global Systems Integrator CompuLynx

Sailesh Savani, Founder and CEO of CompuLynx, shares his vision for the IT company for the medium term. CompuLynx is a global systems integrator based in Kenya and the market leader in software solutions for retail and digital identity.

“Our two current product lines are retail and digital identity. In both we are continuing to make investments in terms of product development and new idea development. We still have a few products that are not on the SAS model. That development is going on now so that everything will become SAS. In the retail space, we will continue to expand products that are mobile based and internet based in terms of ecommerce, consumer apps, marketplace platforms, etc. Doing so will help retailers to continue to ride the ecommerce wave that has just started in this part of the world. We are continuing to add products that are leveraging the several modalities of digital identity in the banking space where there is a lot of work being done in digital identity, primarily eKYC. We are also investing in other products that are not specific to a certain vertical. For example, we are piloting our visitor management system that is offered on a SAS model. For visitors entering a gated community, office building, or office, their entire journey is digitized in terms of enrolling at the reception, meeting the right person, and being checked out. For example, in residential premises, it will cost $2 per month. It is a ridiculous amount of money, so it really doesn’t matter to people. And they are getting additional security, additional features, and additional convenience, not only for those that are residing in the community, but also for their visitors, contractors coming into the premises for repairs, etc. For office buildings and for commercial premises, we will charge $1 per employee, for example. Our thinking has completely taken a 360 degree turn. It is ridiculous to sell software. It has to be on a subscription model”, says Sailesh Savani.
