Maple City

We build it, ship it, and stay to run it.

We build the platforms, products and integrations that Nigerian institutions and businesses run on, and we stay to operate them afterwards. Most of what we are called in to replace was delivered by a firm that never had to run it.

The problem

The hard part was never building it. It was still working two years later.

A system is delivered, signed off, and then left. The firm that built it has moved on, the person who understood it has changed jobs, and what remains is something nobody will touch and nobody can extend. We build it, take it to production, and stay to operate it.

The path

Scope it honestly. Build it. Then run it.

We do not hand you a slide deck. We survey what you actually have before we quote anything, because the gap between the system on the diagram and the one in the building is where these projects die. Then we build to production and stay to operate it. Each stage is a milestone you can see, and for public bodies, a certificate you can sign.

What we do

Start where the risk is. Climb as it proves out.

The first two are alternative ways in, not a queue. Which one applies depends on whether the risk sits in your records or in your data. Everything from Build & Ship down is common to both.

Durations, fee structures and what each one delivers →

01

Records Readiness ReviewFor government

One records estate, surveyed properly. What exists, in what medium, in whose custody, and what condition it is in.

02

AI Readiness SprintFor business

A costed, prioritised plan, and proof on your real data.

03

Build & Ship

The highest-value use case, taken to production. Secure, monitored, integrated.

04

Run It For You

We operate it: monitoring, evaluation, support. And exit is designed in from day one.

05

Compliant by Design

In-country hosting, a router that fails closed, and an audit log you can query yourself.

Who we work with

Two kinds of client, one engineering standard.

Government

Ministries, agencies and parastatals. Records estates surveyed, extracted, and made answerable, with every answer citing the file behind it and the data never leaving Nigeria.

Business

We build the software, then wire AI into it so it does something. Platforms, apps, integrations, and AI in production. Deepest in banking and fintech.

Work

What the work looks like.

A Lagos State ministryIllustrative

A consent backlog that nobody could size, quantified in six weeks, with the file behind every number.

A records readiness review first: inventory the estate, then test extraction on a real sample rather than assuming. Then capture, deskew, OCR, and structure, preserving file reference, folio and date on every chunk. Retrieval on top, in-region, where every answer links to the source image and says "no record found" when there is none.

KYC onboarding cut from three days to under ten minutes.

A two-week readiness sprint, then a document-processing and identity-verification pipeline, hosted in-country, with a full DPIA and audit trail so the risk team signed off before launch.

Why Maple City

Most firms stop before production.

Strategy firms advise but do not build. Staff-augmentation firms rent you engineers but do not own the outcome. Dev shops ship an app and disappear at handover. Foreign integrators cannot host your data in Nigeria.

We build it, take it to production, and stay to run it. That means the unglamorous middle nobody wants: the integration with the system you already have, the migration off the one you are stuck with, the monitoring, and the support call two years from now.
