PAYG SOLUTIONSWhat We Do
PAYG Solutions is a UK technology company developing and implementing m-solutions in emerging markets across the globe.• What is an m-solution?
– It is a technology application that brings economic and social benefits to the underserved and the disadvantaged in developing countries.
– It uses the mobile phone to change the dynamics of interaction both for individuals and businesses: our solutions encompass the MFI, m-Agriculture, m-Remittance, m-Logistics, and m-Health sectors.
• How are we distinctive?– We want our m-solutions to help meet as many different types of need as possible, and
not be constrained by limited horizons or traditional thinking.– We focus therefore not simply on mobile technology but on providing the central core
system that controls and binds together the transaction process as a whole.– Our product platform – kopesha – is thus not one application but many: it can be easily
adapted to fit virtually any requirement where people are transacting – money, goods, information.

PAYG SOLUTIONSWho We Are
PAYG Solutions has the experience and expertise to make a difference:
• We are strong in the right areas:– We have vast experience – both technical and managerial – gained in the IT industry.– Many of our team had front-line involvement in the development and implementation
of M-PESA, the world’s most successful m-solution to date.• We understand the market:
– We build collaborative partnerships and relationships with diverse organisations in many different countries.
– We are an influential voice – our CEO Liz Galpin is a respected thought leader in the m-solutions community; read her blogs on our website paygsolutions.com.
• We are innovative:– We continually adapt our thinking – and hence our products – to meet the needs of a
rapidly evolving international environment.– In less than a year we have developed six distinct versions of kopesha; these range from
mobile money transaction management to dairy farmer deliveries & payments to the capture of orphaned child data.

PAYG SOLUTIONSWhat We Offer
We deliver high quality mobile commerce & mobile money solutions based on our proven kopesha platform.• Powerful
– It is both a core management application and a distributed mobile handset application.– It functions not only at the transaction level but – crucially – provides a control hierarchy above this,
meaning that whole business processes can be brought on board.• Configurable
– It has been designed to be customisable to meet many different solution requirements, but to retain the same easy-to-use appearance and features.
– It can reflect different conditions on the ground – for example by handling both real-time and batch transactions.
– Its industry standard architecture means that interfaces to other applications, such as mobile money and PoS devices, are easily constructed and installed.
• Secure– The core application is cloud-based, offering proven levels of security and robustness including site
certification, encryption, and automatic fail-over.– It provides built-in levels of management control via log-in permissions, identity details, and PIN
numbers.

PAYG SOLUTIONSSome of our Stories
We have several implementations running in Kenya, including pilot schemes to allow farmers to borrow against their milk and coffee produce, and buy goods from Agro-merchants using their produce as collateral.
We have engaged in a collaborative project with a US-based organisation to provide a goods consignment solution for Guatemala; this will support the development of micro entrepreneurs. In the longer term this project also aims to develop an innovative educational platform that can be deployed internationally.
As a pro bono project for Each Inc – a child welfare organisation currently working in Africa – we have designed a mobile, web-based, system for the secure recording and tracking of the critical identity and family history information that defines “each child’s story”.
We are currently working with a major international company to design and implement a system in Ghana to eliminate cash from an agricultural produce supply chain and enhance the core business processes for the benefit of all parties.

Each Inc
We're working with Each, Inc to provide them with a solution which allows information to be recorded out in the field on handsets and tablets about orphans and vulnerable children. This very simple configuration
allows children and parent trees to be built up in order to build up ‘each child’s story’.
