The division

Where the Group’s strategy becomes working software

CINAT Technologies is the technology division of CINAT Group Ltd — a strategy and operations consultancy at the intersection of advertising, logistics & trade, technology and property. We exist to develop, create and execute the technology and software projects that let the Group and its clients operate at scale.

What we stand for

Our operating principles

Strategy before code

Technology without strategy is expensive infrastructure. Every build starts with an operational assessment and a written specification you can hold us to.

Fit, not off-the-shelf

We don’t sell solutions that sort of fit. Systems are designed around how your organisation actually works — its people, processes, risks and customers.

Secure and trusted by design

Being connected means building systems that can be trusted to deliver and keeping the data in them safe. We hold data protection certification and work to Uganda’s Data Protection and Privacy Act.

Ship, then support

The division is measured on products delivered to the market and on the service scope it maintains afterwards — hosting, help desk, training and upgrades are part of the deal, not an afterthought.

Honest pricing

Hosting is quoted at provider cost with no markup; subscription prices are the ones we intend to keep charging. If a buyer is better off buying outright, we say so in the meeting.

Part of a system

One group, four divisions

Each CINAT division is built to operate on its own — and even more powerfully when integrated. Technologies translates business needs into digital solutions; Advertising moves brands; Logistics bridges strategy with execution across trade; Properties is taking shape.

That ecosystem is why GRIND exists: an ERP designed by people who also run advertising campaigns, consolidate cargo and manage procurement — so the software reflects how businesses in this region actually operate.

Stack & standards

What we build with

Applications

Node.js & Express, vanilla and framework front ends, Flutter for Android and iOS, Python for tooling and data.

Data

Microsoft SQL Server, PostgreSQL and MySQL; one isolated database per client; parameterised queries throughout.

Cloud

DigitalOcean, AWS, Azure and Google Cloud; Docker, PM2 and Nginx; automated backups and TLS everywhere.

Security

JWT sessions, role-based access control, audit logs on every change, encryption in transit and at rest.

Get in touch

Bring us the process that’s
slowing you down.

Or the system you wish existed. We’ll map it, scope it honestly and build it — strategy first, technology second.
