Astraque Softwares

Web & Software Development

Full-stack solutions built with modern tech

From landing pages to complex SaaS platforms, we build production-grade software using React, Next.js, Node.js, and modern cloud infrastructure. Clean code, fast performance, and scalable architecture — every time.

Custom software development in Kenya

Off-the-shelf software works until your business stops fitting its boxes. Custom web software is built around your processes instead, whether that is a client portal, a vending or billing platform, or an internal tool that replaces a pile of spreadsheets.

We have built the STS token vending system that runs sales and reconciliation for Smart Flow Metering, a farm management system for Njenga Farm, and our own client portal. Each runs in the browser, so staff and customers can use it from any device.

What we build

Typical web software projects include:

  • Client and customer portals with accounts, documents and payments.
  • Billing, vending and subscription platforms.
  • Internal tools that replace spreadsheets and paper forms.
  • Dashboards that pull data from several systems into one view.
  • APIs and integrations with M-Pesa, banks, accounting and government systems.
  • SaaS products, from first version to scale.

How we keep projects on track

Software projects fail when the scope is vague and progress is invisible. We start with a written scope and a clickable prototype, build in short cycles with a working version you can try every week or two, and hand over documentation and source code at the end.

After launch we offer support and maintenance, so the system keeps up with your business rather than being frozen on the day it went live.

Questions

What technologies do you use?

Our primary stack is React/Next.js with TypeScript on the frontend and Node.js with PostgreSQL on the backend. We adapt based on project needs.

Do you work with existing codebases?

Yes. We can pick up existing projects, refactor legacy code, or add new features to your current platform.

How do you handle project management?

We use agile methodologies with weekly sprints, standups, and transparent progress tracking via tools like Linear or Jira.

How much does custom software cost in Kenya?

It depends on the number of features, users and integrations. After a discovery session we give a fixed quote for a clear scope, and we can split a large system into phases so you get value early.

Do we get the source code?

Ownership of the code is agreed in the contract before work begins. For custom projects we hand over the source code and documentation at the end.

Can you take over software another developer built?

Yes. We start with a code review to understand what exists and what needs fixing, then agree a plan to stabilise and improve it.
