About Lightswitch
A Nairobi software house since 2015
We build the business systems, web and mobile apps that Kenyan companies run on, and we stay to support them.
Our story
Lightswitch started in Nairobi in 2015 with a simple idea: business software should fit the business, not the other way round. Since then we have built point of sale, factory, school, inventory, traceability, booking and fleet systems for businesses in Kenya and beyond.
Today our team of 11 permanent staff designs, builds, launches and supports systems from first conversation to years after go-live. Many of us came from the industries we now build for, so we understand the processes before we write the first line of code.
