Ghanaian technology company Npontu Technologies is celebrating ten years of activity after being founded in November 2016 with the ambition of developing artificial intelligence solutions for African organisations. The company says it began with SMS solutions for banks in particular, before developing enterprise resource planning systems adapted to the needs of African businesses, according to MyJoyOnline.
Npontu says about 600 interns have over the years taken part in labelling and preparing local datasets for training artificial intelligence systems. The company launched Snwolley AI in 2018, a platform designed to better account for African languages, accents, cultures, communities and businesses. It says its products have since reached about 3,500 organisations in nine sectors and six countries.
Its portfolio includes Snwolley AI, Kedebah ERP, a management suite covering finance, points of sale, human resources, payroll and operations for small and medium-sized enterprises, as well as Deywuro, a messaging platform. Npontu also says it benefited for two years from graphics processing resources provided by NVIDIA to train its own models.
