Bulk SMS

Bulk SMS

The Bulk SMS service enables organizations to send large volumes of text messages to customers, members, students, patients, or staff — for notifications, alerts, reminders, or marketing campaigns. It integrates with mobile network SMS gateways to deliver messages reliably and at scale.

SMS remains the most universally reliable channel across the region, reaching recipients regardless of smartphone ownership or data connectivity, which makes it the backbone communication layer that other Glomex systems rely on for time-sensitive alerts — fee reminders, appointment notifications, order updates, and loan repayment prompts — rather than a standalone marketing tool alone.

How It Works
Recipient lists are uploaded or synced from an existing system, such as a school, hospital, or customer database. Messages are composed, personalized where needed (e.g., inserting a recipient's name or balance), and scheduled or sent immediately. The platform connects to SMS gateway providers to route messages to recipients' mobile numbers. Sender IDs can be configured so recipients recognize messages as coming from the organization. Delivery reports show which messages were sent, delivered, or failed, allowing for follow-up where needed. The service can be triggered automatically by other systems — for example, sending a fee reminder from the School Management System or an order update from the Online Store.

Key Features
Key features include bulk and personalized message sending, scheduled and triggered campaigns, custom sender ID configuration, delivery status reporting, system-to-system automated triggers, and integration with other Glomex solutions.

Value to Organizations
Provides a direct, high-open-rate communication channel that works even without internet access on the recipient's side. Automates routine notifications, reducing manual communication effort. Strengthens customer and stakeholder engagement through timely reminders and updates. Integrates with other Glomex solutions to close the loop between system events and real-world communication. Serves as a dependable communication backbone across the wider Glomex solution portfolio.

AvelAI — Web Generator

AvelAI — Web Generator

AvelAI is Glomex's flagship innovation: a no-code, artificial-intelligence-driven platform that allows anyone — regardless of technical background — to describe an application in plain language and have it generated as a functional web application. It is built to lower the barrier to software creation, enabling entrepreneurs, institutions, and developers to move from concept to prototype in a fraction of the time required by traditional development. AvelAI has been recognized as a certified Digital Public Good, reflecting a deliberate design philosophy centred on openness and accessibility rather than locking users into proprietary, closed workflows. Beyond individual builders, AvelAI is increasingly used...

Groups and Chama Management

Groups and Chama Management

This solution digitizes the operations of informal and semi-formal savings groups — widely known in East Africa as chamas — as well as welfare groups, SACCOs, and cooperative societies. It replaces manual ledgers and cash-handling registers with an accountable digital system for contributions, loans, and group governance. Because these groups often operate on trust among members with limited formal financial infrastructure, the platform places particular emphasis on transparency: every member can see their own contribution and loan history at any time, and group leadership cannot alter historical records without those changes being visible in the system's audit log. This makes it...

TenderAI / Tender Pro

TenderAI / Tender Pro

TenderAI (also offered as Tender Pro) is a specialized platform built to help businesses and consultants find, evaluate, and manage responses to tender and procurement opportunities. Rather than manually scanning multiple sources for opportunities, users get a consolidated, searchable view of relevant tenders, along with tools to manage the bidding process. The platform was built directly from a detailed software requirements specification for Glomex, and it applies AI-assisted matching so that the tenders surfaced to a given business are filtered by relevance — sector, size, and location — rather than requiring users to sift through an undifferentiated national feed of...

Event Management

Event Management

The Event Management solution gives organizers a single platform to plan, promote, and run events — from corporate conferences and workshops to weddings, concerts, and community gatherings. It brings event listing, registration, ticketing, and on-the-day check-in together in one system, replacing the mix of spreadsheets, paper guest lists, and manual door checks organizers typically rely on. The platform is designed to support the full lifecycle of an event rather than just the point of sale: it carries organizers from initial event setup and promotion, through registration and payment collection, to real-time attendance tracking on the event day itself, and finally...

Payment Gateway Integrations

Payment Gateway Integrations

This service integrates secure payment processing capabilities into an organization's website, application, or system. It connects platforms to payment channels widely used in the region — including mobile money services, card networks, and bank payment APIs — so organizations can collect payments digitally and reliably. Because payment integrations sit at the center of an organization's revenue collection, this service places strong emphasis on reliability and reconciliation, not just the initial connection: callback handling, retry logic for delayed confirmations, and reconciliation reporting are all built in, so that finance teams can trust the numbers the system reports and match them confidently...

Point of Sale

Point of Sale

The Point of Sale solution is a transaction management system designed for retail shops, supermarkets, restaurants, and service outlets. It handles the full sales cycle — item lookup, cart management, discounts, payment capture, and receipt generation — while feeding every transaction into a central sales and inventory record. The system is built to remain fast and dependable even in high-traffic environments, and it supports both single-outlet businesses and multi-branch operations that need a consolidated view of performance across locations. It can run on standard desktop computers, tablets, or dedicated POS terminals, and is designed to keep operating with local caching...

The Glomex difference

Technology shouldn't just make an organization look modern — it should make it work better. Every engagement starts with the problem, not the platform.

01

Understand before we build

We map how an organization actually operates before writing a line of code, so the system fits the process instead of forcing a new one.

02

Engineering that evolves

A Laravel + Tailwind CSS core, role-based permissions and modular architecture mean new capabilities plug in without rebuilding the platform.

03

Connected, not siloed

Website, payments, inventory, POS and SMS can share one ecosystem — a payment in one module can update records everywhere else instantly.

04

Built for the region

M-Pesa/Daraja, Africa's Talking SMS, KES pricing and Kenyan procurement rules are native considerations, not afterthoughts.

05

AI where it adds value

From AvelAI's application generation to TenderAI's document analysis, AI is applied to real bottlenecks — not bolted on for its own sake.

06

A long-term partnership

We support implementation, training, maintenance and optimization well after launch — deployment is the start, not the finish line.
