Products
Alongside client work, we build our own products for businesses that run vehicles, rental property, payments and field teams. Each one says plainly where it stands today.

WhatsApp & M-Pesa Rent Collection
In BuildNyumbishaby Astralyn
The Problem
Tenants already message their landlord on WhatsApp and already pay by M-Pesa. Neither one keeps the books. Rent arrives in bits, from phone numbers that do not say which unit they pay for. Reminders go out by hand, and finding out who still owes means checking M-Pesa messages against a notebook.
The Solution
Nyumbisha runs rent in the chat tenants already use. Bills and reminders go out on WhatsApp, with SMS as backup. The tenant pays from an M-Pesa prompt on their own phone, and the money lands in the landlord's M-Pesa or bank without passing through us. Every payment is matched to its tenant and unit, part payments included, and the receipt goes back on WhatsApp. Tenants install nothing.

Fleet & Transport Operations
LiveRelayby Astralyn
The Problem
A fleet owner learns what a vehicle made when the day is already over, from a notebook, a phone call, or nothing at all. Insurance lapses, inspections expire, and the first anyone knows is a roadblock and an impounded vehicle.
The Solution
Relay records the day as it happens (driver, vehicle, route, collection, expense) and closes each vehicle's books nightly. Every compliance date the vehicle carries is tracked to the day it expires, and warns long before it does. The owner opens one screen and knows.

Collections & Reconciliation
ConceptLedgerby Astralyn
The Problem
Mobile money moves instantly and reconciles never. A business takes payment across a paybill, a till, a bank and cash, then spends the first week of every month working out who paid what. The books are always a fortnight behind the bank.
The Solution
Ledger sits between the rails and the business. Every inbound payment is matched to a customer, an invoice and an account on arrival; anything unmatched surfaces as an exception rather than disappearing into a suspense line. Payouts, float and settlement run from the same ledger.

Conversational Service Agent
ConceptConciergeby Astralyn
The Problem
Customers ask the same eleven questions (balance, booking, hours, status, receipt), and a person answers each one by hand, badly, between other work. Nobody installs an app to ask a question they could have sent as a message.
The Solution
Concierge answers on the channel the customer already uses. It is wired into the business's own data through Core, so it answers with facts rather than pleasantries, completes the transaction where it can, and hands to a human the moment it should, with the whole thread attached.

Field Workforce Operations
ConceptRosterby Astralyn
The Problem
Shifts are planned on paper, attendance is taken on trust, and the argument at the end of the month is about hours nobody recorded. Supervisors spend their day on the phone finding out where people are.
The Solution
Roster plans the shift, verifies the clock-in against the place it was meant to happen, dispatches the day's tasks to the phone in the worker's hand, and produces the timesheet that payroll actually needs, without anyone retyping it.

Astralyn Core
Every product above needs the same six things underneath it: sign-in, payments, messaging, billing, documents and a record of who did what. Astralyn Core provides them once, so a new product starts with them in place. Nyumbisha runs on Core today; Relay runs on its own stack for now and will move across.
Identity & Access
One OIDC provider for every product. A customer signs in once and that sign-in works across every product built on it.
Payments
M-Pesa, cards and bank rails behind one interface, with idempotent webhooks and a normalised transaction shape every product already understands.
Messaging
SMS, WhatsApp, email and push through one send. Templates, throttling, delivery receipts and quiet hours are handled once, for every product.
Billing & Entitlements
Plans, seats, usage and limits. A product asks whether a tenant may do a thing; it does not implement subscriptions.
Documents
Storage, generation and signature for leases, logbooks, statements and notices. The retention rules travel with the document, not the app.
Audit & Events
An append-only record of who did what, and the event bus the products talk to each other over. Compliance and integration from the same log.
