Mission
To build technology made for how African businesses actually work.
Helping businesses
run properly
Software, systems, and support for businesses that want important work to run on reliable systems instead of brain-work, chasing, and one indispensable person. We started with business operations, but the work is bigger than one product.
The need is bigger than business software.
Wherever people coordinate work, keep records, serve others, and hold standards, the same need appears: important work that should not depend on one person's memory.

From the founder
“The goal was to build something specifically for businesses here that meets our reality.”
Serious work needs proper systems.
Across Africa, businesses do important work every day. Too much of it still runs on chats, notebooks, and whoever remembers. When that person is away, the work waits. 390 exists to close that gap: proper records, clear owners, and a system that carries the work.
- Records kept properly, once
- Numbers a business can rely on
- Visibility without chasing anyone
- Systems that outlast staff changes
The 390 story
From one gap to a growing ecosystem.
We kept seeing the same gap
Serious businesses running on chats, notebooks and memory. Systems too weak for the work they carry.
So we started with the business problem
390 Work became our first major product: one simple system for sales, stock, staff, money, and daily work.
The value showed up fast
On day one, a customer used 390 to catch two pieces of missing chicken. That is the point: things stop hiding.
Then we opened the customer side
390 HUB gives businesses a page customers can order, book and pay from, connected straight to their records.
And we build what’s missing
390 Labs builds custom systems where packaged software cannot fit. The mission is bigger than one product.
Built for how work actually
happens here.
390 is built from Africa, for the realities of African businesses and organisations. The understanding is local. The standard is global.
Vision
A continent where every organisation runs on technology built for it, not borrowed from elsewhere.
Mantra
Build what’s missing.
Technology across the work of businesses.
390 Work
390 Work helps businesses manage sales, stock, staff, customers, money, approvals, reports, production, records, and daily operations. Everything connects in one system, so the business runs on records rather than recall.

Custom engineering for businesses with workflows, internal tools, integrations, dashboards, portals, or systems that packaged software cannot solve properly.
Work with 390 LabsWe start with the work.
Before we design screens or write code, we understand the work itself: who is involved, what needs recording, where decisions happen, and what the organisation needs to control. Then we set up the least structure that makes the work clear, repeatable, and visible, and nothing more.
