About Dewlon Systems
Nairobi’s most trusted, locally rooted, and technically elite software development company, delivering custom digital solutions for businesses, NGOs, and government agencies across Kenya and East Africa.
Who Is Dewlon Systems, and Why Do We Exist?
Dewlon Systems is a premier software development company headquartered in Imara Daima, Nairobi, with a satellite office in Kisii, Western Kenya. Founded in 2019 by a Kenyan engineer who witnessed firsthand the struggles of local businesses trying to work with offshore developers who didn’t understand M-Pesa integrations, county government workflows, or the realities of low-bandwidth rural connectivity, we set out to build something different: a homegrown, world-class tech studio that combines global engineering standards with deep local insight.
Our mission is simple yet profound: to empower Kenyan and East African organizations with secure, scalable, and intuitive digital solutions that solve real business problems, drive efficiency, and create measurable impact. We believe technology should serve people, not complicate their lives. Whether you’re a startup launching your first mobile app, a cooperative modernizing farmer payments, or a county government digitizing citizen services, we are your dedicated partner in digital transformation.
Today, Dewlon Systems is a team of over 25 full-time professionals, including senior full-stack developers, UI/UX designers, cloud architects, DevOps engineers, QA specialists, and project managers, all based in Kenya, fluent in local business contexts, and committed to delivering excellence without compromise.
What Digital Services Does Dewlon Systems Provide?
As a full-service software development company in Nairobi, we offer end-to-end digital product creation and support across nine core disciplines. We don’t just build websites, we architect complete digital ecosystems tailored to your unique operational needs.
Additionally, we provide critical post-launch services including software maintenance and support, technical training and knowledge transfer, and SEO & digital marketing support,ensuring your digital investment continues to deliver value long after launch. From M-Pesa and Sendy integrations to ERP modernization and cloud migration, we handle everything under one roof, with full transparency and ownership.
Why Should I Choose a Local Software Company in Nairobi Over Offshore Developers?
Choosing a local Kenyan software development partner like Dewlon Systems isn’t just about patriotism, it’s about practicality, efficiency, and risk reduction. When you work with offshore teams in distant time zones, you face communication delays, cultural misunderstandings, and a lack of contextual awareness about Kenyan business practices, regulatory requirements, and user behavior.
With Dewlon, you get:
- Same-time-zone collaboration: Daily standups, quick feedback loops, and real-time problem-solving.
- Local compliance knowledge: Understanding of data privacy expectations, public-sector procurement rules, and financial regulations in Kenya.
- Context-aware design: Apps and websites optimized for Safaricom/Airtel networks, popular devices (Tecno, Infinix), and “near me” search behavior.
- Physical presence: Meet face-to-face at our Imara Daima office or Kisii branch when needed.
- No vendor lock-in: Full code ownership, comprehensive documentation, and training so you can manage your system independently.
We’ve seen too many Kenyan organizations waste time and money on generic offshore solutions that fail during real-world use. That’s why we built Dewlon, to be the reliable, competent, and caring alternative.

Where Is Dewlon Systems Located, and Do We Serve Clients Outside Nairobi?

What Truly Sets Dewlon Systems Apart From Other Software Companies in Kenya?
Many companies claim to offer “custom software”, but few deliver true partnership. At Dewlon, our difference lies in five core pillars:
1. Deep Discovery, Not Assumption
We spend significant time understanding your actual workflows—not idealized versions, through interviews, shadowing, and process mapping. This ensures the software solves real problems, not imagined ones.
2. Human-Centered Design
Every interface is tested with real users, especially non-technical staff. We prioritize clarity, simplicity, and mobile-first experiences that work on low-end devices.
3. Transparent & Agile Delivery
We work in 2-week sprints with weekly demos, so you see progress, give feedback, and stay in control. No black boxes. No surprises.
4. Knowledge Transfer Built-In
From day one, we prepare your team to own the system. Training, documentation, and admin guides are included, not add-ons.
5. Long-Term Partnership Mindset
We measure success by your long-term satisfaction, not just project completion. Over 85% of our clients return for additional work or refer us to peers.
Our Impact Across Kenya
Custom software projects delivered since 2019
Client retention & referral rate
Average system uptime across all clients
Organizations empowered, from startups to county governments
We don’t count success in lines of code, but in faster service delivery for citizens, reduced operational costs for cooperatives, increased online sales for retailers, and digital confidence for leaders who once feared technology.
