Mission, vision and values
Built for a purpose
Telos is Greek for the end a thing is made for. It is how we choose what to build, and how we work.
Build software that does what it was made for.
Every growing business in Africa, running on software made for it.
Our core values
- 01
Purpose before features
We ask what the software is for before we build it, and cut anything that does not serve that goal.
- 02
Customer focus
We start from the people who will use it, test with them, and judge success by how their work changes.
- 03
Quality that lasts
Reviewed, tested and documented. We run our own products, so we build for the second year, not just launch day.
- 04
Honest and plain
Clear estimates, clear risks and no jargon. If something goes wrong, we say so early.
- 05
Better together
We work as one team with our clients and show working software every two weeks.
- 06
Always improving
We learn from every release and keep making the product, and ourselves, better.
How we work
Five steps from idea to running software
- 01
Discover
We start by listening. In the first week we talk to the people who will use the software, map how the work happens today and agree what success looks like. You get a short written brief with the goals, the users, the risks and a fixed plan, so everyone knows what is being built and why before any design begins.
A written brief and a fixed plan
- 02
Design
We turn the brief into flows and screens, then into a clickable prototype you can try yourself. We test it with real users, in Amharic and English where it matters, and change it until the main journeys feel obvious. Nothing is built until you have seen it working.
A tested, clickable prototype
- 03
Build
We build in two-week sprints and finish each one with a working demo. You see real progress on a real product, can change priorities between sprints, and always know what is done, what is next and where the plan stands. Every change is reviewed and tested before it ships.
A working demo every two weeks
- 04
Launch
Before launch we run full testing and fix what we find. We move your existing data across, handle store releases for mobile apps, set up monitoring and train the people who will use the product, so launch day is calm instead of a scramble.
Release, data migration and training
- 05
Support
After launch we stay on. Each month we watch performance and uptime, fix issues and ship improvements based on how people actually use the product. You get a short report and a say in what we build next.

Questions
Before you write to us
The answers to what people ask most. If yours is not here, ask us.
Ask a questionHow much does a project cost?
It depends on the scope. Tell us what you are building and we reply within one business day with next steps and a rough estimate. After a one-week discovery we give you a fixed plan.
How long does a project take?
Each service page shows a typical duration. We work in two-week sprints and show a working demo after each one, so you see real progress from the first sprint.
What do you need from us to start?
A first conversation, one person who can make decisions, and time with the people who will use the software. We handle discovery in the first week.
Do you work in Amharic and English?
Yes. Interfaces, content and support are designed for both languages from the start, not added at the end.
Which payment systems can you integrate?
telebirr, Chapa, CBE Birr and M-Pesa for local payments, and Stripe and PayPal for international customers.
What happens after launch?
Support is part of how we work: monitoring, fixes and new features each month, under a support plan we agree with you.
Who owns the code and the data?
This is agreed in writing before work starts. Your data stays yours, and code ownership is set out in the project contract.
Can we use your products instead of a custom build?
Yes. Warka for HR, RePay for recurring payments and Zuret for travel booking are ready to use. Ask for a demo from the product page.
