Platform Development

Mission-critical web and backend systems.

We build the long-lived platforms institutions run their operations on, with rigorous engineering practices and durable architecture.

The practice

Mission-critical web and backend systems.

PANEOTECH builds the long-lived platforms that institutions run their operations on. Our platform development practice combines deep engineering experience, domain knowledge of public-sector and institutional workflows, and the operational discipline tuned for systems that need to run for a decade, not a quarter. We engineer for the long horizon.

What we build

Across the platform engineering stack.

Backend architecture

API design, service composition, queueing and event-driven patterns, and the architectural choices that determine whether a platform is still maintainable five years in.

Domain modelling

Careful modelling of the institutional workflows the platform serves, with the audit trails, state machines, and approval flows that public-sector and regulated environments require.

Data integration

Connectors to the legacy systems institutions actually run, payment rails, identity providers, government service buses, and the partner platforms the engagement depends on.

Performance engineering

Capacity planning, caching strategies, database optimisation, and the load testing discipline that keeps platforms responsive at the volumes institutional adoption produces.

Operational hardening

Observability instrumentation, deployment automation, disaster recovery design, and the runbooks operations teams need to keep the platform healthy.

Long-term maintainability

Documentation, dependency management, refactoring discipline, and the engineering culture that keeps a codebase that runs for ten years from accumulating fatal debt.

Where it shows up

In the field.

Our platform development work shows up as the operational backbone of public-sector institutions, the digital infrastructure of multilateral programmes, and the production systems that institutional clients run their core operations on. We work as the technical lead on greenfield builds, the modernisation partner on legacy systems, and the implementation partner of larger programme offices.

Where we apply this expertise.

A selection of PANEOTECH projects that draw on this area of expertise.

Somalia

Integrated Seed Certification and Traceability System for SARIS Somalia

A national digital platform for SARIS, the Somali Agricultural Regulatory and Inspection Service, that digitises seventeen regulated processes spanning seed certification and plant variety protection, with offline-capable field inspection, QR-verifiable e-certificates, and a public verification portal. Currently in delivery with a working staging environment.

Continental

Public Sector Collaboration Hub for the African Capacity Building Foundation

A continental digital platform commissioned by the African Capacity Building Foundation, a specialised agency of the African Union, that consolidates Public Financial Management diagnostics, reform case studies, peer learning workspaces, and an academy integration into a single environment for senior public officials across all African Union member states. Currently in delivery, with the public-facing site live at https://pschub.africa.

Mauritania

HydroMet AI, AI-Powered Early Warning System for Hydrometeorological Hazards in the Senegal River Valley

A national early warning system delivered by PANEOTECH for UNDP Mauritania, in joint venture with Effica SYS Co SARL, to anticipate hydrometeorological hazards in the Senegal River Valley. The system combines a stacked LSTM neural network with the SWAT hydrological model and ingests data from seven complementary global sources, including Open-Meteo, NASA POWER, GloFAS via Copernicus, and CHIRPS and SMAP via Google Earth Engine. Alerts are validated by institutional operators before diffusion across SMS, WhatsApp, email, web, mobile, radio, and television channels.

Continental

Climate Watch Africa, Continental Climate Intelligence Platform with the Climate Insight AI Agent

A continental climate intelligence platform developed by PANEOTECH for POLIWATCH AFRICA, covering all fifty-four African Union member states. The platform consolidates climate, energy, and socio-economic data into thematic dashboards and country profiles, and exposes the Climate Insight AI Agent, a natural language interface for conversational query, cross-referencing, and trend narration over the consolidated corpus.

Continental

DiraCore, Pan-African Agricultural Data Infrastructure

A Pan-African agricultural data infrastructure that turns fragmented smallholder data into structured digital assets, supporting financial analysis, EUDR deforestation compliance, voluntary carbon market certification, and credit scoring. Designed for Pan-African Management Services with operations across East and West Africa.

Continental

Anti-Illicit Financial Flows Policy Tracker

A continental analytical platform tracking anti-illicit-financial-flows policies across more than fifty African countries. Built for Tax Justice Network Africa, the African Union and ATAF to support implementation of the Mbeki Report recommendations on illicit financial flows from Africa.
