Stop Running Your Business
By Hand.
DuabaForge automates the manual work inside small and mid-sized businesses, builds the custom software that doesn't exist yet, and deploys DuabaOS — our operating system for companies — to enterprises that want every department running on it.
The Problem
The Real Cost Is the Work Nobody Automated
Most businesses aren't short of software. They're short of joins between the software they already have — so people become the glue, and the whole operation runs at the speed of whoever is copying and pasting.
Your team is the integration layer
Someone spends their morning copying numbers from WhatsApp into a spreadsheet, then into the accounting package. Every single day.
Nobody knows the numbers until month-end
Reporting is one person's weekend job, so decisions get made on figures that are three weeks stale.
Software that fits nobody
Off-the-shelf tools force your business into someone else's workflow — or you run on a spreadsheet only one employee understands.
AI pilots that never leave the pilot
The demo impressed the board. Nothing got automated, because no one owned the plumbing, the permissions, or the uptime afterwards.
We automate the process, not the demo
We start with one workflow you actually hate, put it live in weeks, and measure it in hours returned to your team.
The business reports to you daily
DuabaOS pulls real facts from your systems every day and hands you one brief each morning — not a dashboard you have to remember to open.
Built around how you actually work
Where the fit matters, we build it: the internal tool, the mobile app, the API. Designed for your process, not a template's.
Permission written in code
Every automated action passes a gate you control, and lands in an audit log that cannot be edited — by an agent, by an admin, or by us.
What We Offer
Four Ways We Take Work Off Your Team
Most clients start with one automation and grow into the platform. You can enter anywhere — and every engagement is designed so the next step is a decision, not a rebuild.
AI Automation
Replace the manual work first.
We audit how your business actually runs, then automate the parts that eat your week — quotes, invoices, onboarding, reporting, follow-ups, document handling, support triage.
- Workflow automation on a hosted n8n runtime
- AI agents for drafting, extraction, and triage
- WhatsApp, email, and phone-based intake
- Integrations with the tools you already pay for
Custom Software
Built for how you work.
When off-the-shelf doesn't fit, we design and ship the system that does — web, mobile, API, or the internal tool that finally kills the spreadsheet.
- Web & mobile applications
- APIs and backend systems
- Internal tools & operational dashboards
DuabaOS Platform
Run the whole business on it.
Our own operating system for companies: AI departments that watch your operations, propose actions, and execute the ones you approve — behind an audit log you control.
- Private instance, your data
- Industry-customised dashboards
- Human approval gate on every action
Hosting & Managed Infrastructure
Someone to own the uptime.
We host what we build — and what you already have. Provisioning, deploys, backups, monitoring, and patching, on infrastructure we operate every day.
- Managed cloud & VM hosting
- Domains, SSL, email, and DNS
- Automated backups & restore drills
- Monitoring, alerting, and incident response
The DuabaForge Marketplace
Every automation we build becomes a template. Every industry we serve becomes a dashboard pack. The marketplace is where those get published — so the next business in your sector installs in an afternoon what took us a month to design. Partners and independent builders will be able to publish there too.
DuabaOS — Automate the Whole Company
Not another dashboard you have to remember to open. DuabaOS is an operating system for a business: nine AI departments that watch your operations every day, form judgments, and take the actions you've authorised — inside a permission model written in code, not in a prompt.
We built it to run DuabaLabs. Now we deploy it for enterprises.
Operations
The AI COO — turns every other report into one brief
Finance
Spend, runway, invoices, and budget drift
Security & Risk
Secrets, exposure, and access review
Engineering
Deploys, uptime, backups, and infra health
Business Development
Pipeline, partners, and opportunity tracking
Sales & Marketing
Leads, campaigns, and channel performance
Customer Success
Tickets, churn signals, and follow-ups
Legal & Compliance
Contracts, filings, and obligation calendar
Research & Innovation
Market, competitor, and technology scanning
Departments, data sources, and dashboards are configured for your industry — a logistics firm and a clinic run the same engine on very different facts.
Collect
Deterministic collectors gather real facts from your systems — no model involved, no tokens spent.
Judge
One model call per department reads those facts and forms a judgment with a recommended action.
Gate
Code — not a prompt — decides whether the action may run: autonomy level, budget, kill switch.
Approve
Anything sensitive waits for a named human in the dashboard. Identity comes from the session.
Execute
The approved action runs exactly once — locked and idempotent, never twice on a retry.
Audit
Every step is appended to a log that cannot be edited or deleted, by anyone, including us.
The cost surprises people. Because the expensive part is deterministic and the model is only asked to judge, a full daily cycle across all nine departments runs for cents — not the thousands per month an equivalent seat count would cost.
It proposes. You decide.
The model chooses what to suggest; it never decides whether it's allowed. Payments, payroll, production-destructive changes, and public statements never fire automatically at any autonomy level.
History can't be rewritten.
Reports and events are append-only at the database level. A red security report cannot quietly become green — not by an agent, not by an admin.
Tuned autonomy, per department.
Six levels, set individually. Start with everything asking permission, then loosen only the departments that have earned it. An agent can never widen its own authority.
Your instance, your data.
Deployed into its own namespace with its own database. On our infrastructure, your cloud account, or on-premise — your call.
Automation Capabilities
What We Actually Automate
These are the six shapes almost every engagement takes. Each one is something we run in production today — for our own company first, then for clients.
Workflow Automation
The repetitive steps between your systems, running without anyone touching them.
Built on a hosted n8n runtime we operate and monitor — scheduled jobs, webhook triggers, approval steps, and retries that don't silently fail.
AI Agents & Copilots
Drafting, classifying, summarising, and deciding — at the point the work happens.
Quote drafts, email triage, support replies, meeting notes, internal Q&A over your own documents. Routine work goes to a cheap fast model; judgment goes to a strong one.
Document & Data Processing
Invoices, receipts, waybills, and contracts turned into structured records.
Extraction from PDFs, scans, and photos, validated against your rules, then written straight into your accounting or ERP system — no re-typing.
Conversational & Voice Interfaces
Customers and staff interacting with your systems the way they already communicate.
WhatsApp and email intake, chat assistants on your site, voice-driven briefings and text-to-speech reports for people who'd rather listen than read.
Systems Integration
Your existing tools finally talking to each other.
Odoo and ERP, accounting packages, CRMs, mobile money and card gateways, Google Workspace, spreadsheets, and older in-house databases nobody wants to replace yet.
Monitoring & Market Intelligence
Being told what changed, instead of finding out later.
Competitor and news monitoring, price and stock alerts, scheduled research briefs — and, where clients need it, fully algorithmic trading and signal systems.
Industry Dashboards
One Engine, Configured For Your Sector
DuabaOS ships with dashboards and departments tuned to how your industry actually operates — so the first login already shows numbers that mean something, not empty widgets waiting to be configured.
Logistics & Transport
Dispatch, waybills, fleet costs, and delivery confirmation — off paper and out of WhatsApp.
Dashboards · Live load board · driver utilisation · cost per trip · delivery exceptions
Import, Export & Trade
Supplier follow-up, customs paperwork, and landed cost worked out before the container lands.
Dashboards · Shipment tracker · landed cost per SKU · duty & clearance status
Retail & Wholesale
Stock that reorders itself, prices that stay in sync, and daily sales across every branch in one place.
Dashboards · Stock & reorder alerts · branch performance · margin by product
Construction & Real Estate
Site progress, subcontractor certification, and spend against budget without a monthly reconciliation marathon.
Dashboards · Project progress · budget vs actual · subcontractor payments
Financial Services & Fintech
Reconciliation, onboarding checks, and transaction monitoring handled continuously rather than in batches.
Dashboards · Reconciliation breaks · KYC queue · exposure & flagged transactions
Healthcare & Clinics
Appointments, reminders, claims submission, and consumables stock kept current automatically.
Dashboards · Appointment load · claims status · consumables & expiry alerts
Education & Training
Enrolment, fee collection, attendance, and parent communication running without an admin bottleneck.
Dashboards · Enrolment funnel · fees outstanding · attendance & progress
Professional Services & NGOs
Billable time, invoicing, grant reporting, and donor communication with the compliance trail already written.
Dashboards · Utilisation & billing · grant burn rate · reporting deadlines
Sector not listed? The department registry is configuration, not code — we build the pack for your industry during onboarding, and it becomes available to everyone who follows you.
Value Proposition
Why Businesses Pick DuabaForge
There are cheaper freelancers and bigger consultancies. What neither offers is an automation platform we operate ourselves, sold at a price you can start with, with the infrastructure underneath it included.
We run on it before you do
DuabaOS runs DuabaLabs — our own finance, security, and engineering departments report through it every morning. We don't sell you a pilot we haven't lived with.
One partner for the whole stack
The automation, the software under it, the platform around it, and the servers beneath all of it — one contract and one number to call. No triangulating between three vendors when something breaks.
Priced to start on one process
Your first automation shouldn't need board approval. Start with the process that hurts most, see the hours come back, then decide how far to take it.
Governance inside the engine
Autonomy levels, a human approval gate, and an append-only audit log — enforced in code and in database permissions, not promised in a prompt. This is the part that gets you a yes from risk and compliance.
We stay after launch
We host it, monitor it, back it up, restore-test it, and patch it. Most of our revenue comes from clients we shipped to years ago — which is the only incentive alignment that matters.
Built for how business works here
Mobile money, WhatsApp-first customers, patchy connectivity, cedi invoicing, diaspora owners in a different time zone. Assumptions built in from the start rather than retrofitted from a template designed elsewhere.
Target Market
Who We Build For
We serve small and mid-sized businesses across Ghana, West Africa, and the diaspora — and increasingly the corporates and enterprises that want the same automation with formal governance around it.
SMEs & Growing Businesses
Ten to two hundred staff, profitable, and held back by admin. You don't need a transformation programme — you need four specific processes to stop consuming people's days.
Corporates & Enterprise
Multiple departments, multiple branches, and a mandate to do something serious with AI. We deploy DuabaOS across the organisation with the governance your risk committee will ask about.
NGOs & Impact Organisations
Reporting obligations that grow faster than headcount. We automate the grant paperwork and give programme teams dashboards funders actually accept.
Startups & Founders
A validated idea and no time. We build the product and wire the operational automation in from the start, so you aren't hiring people to do what software should.
You're exactly who we do our best work for if…
Five signals. Three or more and the first call will be worth your time.
We'll tell you if it's too early
We'd rather lose the invoice than build something you won't use.

How It Works
From One Process to a Running Platform
The same five phases whether we're automating a single workflow or deploying DuabaOS across an organisation. Every phase ends with something you can see.
Process Audit
We sit with the people actually doing the work and follow one process end to end. Where do the hours go, where does data get re-typed, what breaks when someone is on leave?
Design & Integration Plan
We design the automation and the joins into your existing systems — what triggers it, what data it touches, who has to approve what, and what happens when a step fails.
Build in Sprints
Two-week sprints with a working demo at the end of each. You watch the automation run on your own data long before anyone signs anything off.
Review & Handover
Security review, permission audit, and training for the people who'll live with it. Documentation written for your team, not for us.
Run & Expand
We host it, monitor it, and back it up. Each quarter we review what's working and widen what runs automatically — one process at a time.
Technical Foundation
What It All Runs On
We choose tools on reliability and long-term support, not hype. Most of this stack runs our own company first — including the platform we sell.
Automation & AI
Platform & Applications
Data & Business Systems
Hosting & Operations
Stack selection is always project-specific — including running models locally when your data can't leave the building. We'll recommend the right tools during the design phase.
