Products of our own
Software we design, host and support ourselves, licensed by subscription. The roadmap is ours, so the thing keeps improving after you buy it.
What Forge does
Four kinds of work
Most engagements are one of these. Several are all four, in that order.
Applications built to order
Systems shaped around how an organisation actually works, rather than asking everyone to change how they work to suit the software.
Integration
Getting the systems already in place to talk to each other, so a figure is entered once and appears everywhere it is needed.
Run after launch
Hosting, monitoring, backups, patching and support. We operate what we build, which is why we build it to be operated.
Built on Forge
Software in service
Products running in Nigerian organisations today.
Records and archiving
Digital Archive
Captures an organisation's documents, indexes them so they can be found by anyone entitled to see them, holds them under retention and legal hold, and publishes a curated layer to the public where that is part of the mandate.
Legal practice
LexBridge
Practice management for African law firms. Matters, documents, deadlines and billing in one place, built for how firms on this continent actually run rather than adapted from somewhere else.
We would rather build one thing properly than ten things quickly.
Forge exists because the software a Nigerian organisation needs is rarely the software it can buy. The licence is priced for somewhere else, the workflow assumes a different market, and the support is a timezone away.
So we build it here. The people who designed it are the people who run it, and they are reachable in Lagos on a working day.
