The company

Who we are

The manager taking notes at his desk

VD TECHNOLOGIES is a limited liability company (SARL) under Beninese law, registered with the Trade and Personal Property Credit Register of Cotonou under number RB/COT/26 B 43895, with its registered office in Cotonou.

We founded it as two: one a specialist in purchasing and international trade, the other a software engineer. Our conviction is simple: the digital tools that African businesses need will not come from elsewhere. They must be built here, by people who know the real conditions on the ground — the power cuts, the slow connections, Mobile Money payments, customers who write on WhatsApp.

We started by building our own platforms before offering any to others. That is our way of proving what we claim.

A technical management in Europe, operations in Cotonou

Our partners work in Europe, where they train in the standards they apply here. Our operations take place in Cotonou, where we have an address, a team and a contact reachable during Beninese office hours.

In practice: you deal with one person on site, you call us at Beninese hours, and you benefit from working methods proven elsewhere. It is the combination we have chosen, and we stand by it.
