Workflow discovery
Identify who does what, where information enters the process and which handovers or repeated tasks create friction.
TECHNOTRENDS / ADDIS ABABA, ETHIOPIA
Business software built around the work.
TechnoTrends is an Addis Ababa studio offering business software, web applications and workflow automation. We start with the process you want to improve, then define what a useful system needs to do.
START WITH THE BUSINESS
A useful starting point.
If information is scattered across messages, spreadsheets and repeated manual steps, first map the work. A clearer process may be enough; custom software becomes useful when your requirements need a connected workflow.
01 / THE WORK
What we can
work on together.
The scope starts with your requirements. These are areas to discuss, rather than a fixed package.
Web applications
Plan a browser-based experience around the users and actions your business needs. Requirements such as access roles, requests and records must be agreed for each project.
Workflow automation
Discuss which repeated steps could be automated and where a person should stay in control. Existing tools and integrations are assessed during scoping.
Practical AI implementation
Explore a specific business use for AI within a defined workflow. Suitability, data handling, review steps and limitations need to be considered before implementation.
02 / SELECTED EXPERIENCE
Work in context.
Examples from our published portfolio. Client websites may have changed since the work shown.

BEFORE WE TALK
Bring the problem.
We’ll shape the brief.
You don’t need a finished specification. These details help us understand the starting point.
- One process you want to improve, described from start to finish.
- The people involved and the tools they currently use.
- Examples of forms or records, with private information removed.
- Your priorities, constraints and what a successful outcome would look like.
04 / YOUR QUESTIONS
A few things
worth knowing.
Do we need custom software or an existing tool?
Start with the requirements. Compare the work you need to support with what existing tools can do, then discuss the gaps. Custom development should have a clear purpose rather than replace a tool that already fits.
What should we define before development?
Define the users, workflow, information, access needs and essential actions. We agree deliverables, timeline and price before work begins, with review points against that scope.
Can AI automate our entire business process?
That should not be assumed. Choose a specific task, consider the information it uses and decide how outputs will be checked. Some steps still need human judgement or approval.
How do we plan handover and support?
Discuss access, documentation, how the system will be used and responsibility for future changes during scoping. We hand over the agreed work and define any further support.
