About us

A culture of teamwork

Our story

As part of the Dutch-based Yellowtail Group, we have established ourselves as an expert outsource bespoke software development company with an impeccable track record. We develop successful solutions for businesses across Africa and Europe.

We believe that you don’t have to be like everyone else to do what they do – in fact, if you’re a bit different, chances are you will do things better. That’s why we make a point to hire the top developers from across the African continent, creating a diverse team full of people who think differently because of their varied backgrounds. We have a much higher ratio of female technical staff compared to other IT companies, which adds to our dynamic culture and raises the lateral thinking bar in our development teams.

It’s about the process

“At Yellowtail we love developing successful software. We are a close-knit group of people (some would call us nerds) taking immense pride in developing high quality software solutions. Ask any of our clients about our track record of developing high quality software, and delivering it on time. Let us do the same for you.”

The game-changer mentality

We harness the power of creativity and combine it with expertise to bring our clients innovative solutions.    

Our people

Yellowtail employs enthusiastic consultants, developers and designers with a lot of experience and expertise within the financial sector. With our team we offer a balanced mix of skills and knowledge in the areas of UX design, processes and technology. Every day we make our pay-off ‘fresh ideas, proven results’ come true for our customers.

 

Visitors to our office often remark on the apparent contradiction between our drive for the utmost quality and the relaxed environment. We work hard to create a culture that is flexible enough for discussion and creativity, and comfortable enough for a little relaxation and fun, all while making sure that our developers have every imaginable tool for learning and continuous improvement.
