“Messaging, Engaging & Retaining your customers should not be hard.”- Goodness Kayode/ Co-founder Sendchamp

Today, the market is filled with many SMS or email platforms, and for a single project a developer works on, he has to integrate 2-5 different providers. It's hard to miss one major setback every developer encounters whenever they build a solution. Every application requires at least a communication channel at any time. And this was the dilemma Goodness Kayode had as a developer. He stated that whenever he got to this stage, he always faced these prominent issues as:

  • Having to work with multiple providers
  • Limited channels
  • Limited communication services (that existed in the American/European market but were generally hard to access in the African market)
  • Regulation and a very stressful integration process.

Goodness believed that most developers in Africa today are saddled with this problem on their side projects or at work. This same problem was what he faced when he started a Software Agency (Sprinble) that builds products for businesses.

A story of Sendchamp from 2 developers

The idea to build the future of communication for African businesses began with Goodness and Damilola in 2021. Goodness Kayode currently leads the product & business team at Sendchamp as the Co-Founder/CEO of Sendchamp. Goodness stumbled into tech while studying English Language as a course in school. As a passionate innovator in tech, the mission for Goodness is to build a product/solution that people cannot do without. All thanks to curiosity, Damilola Olotu, the Co-Founder/CTO Sendchamp, would instead solve complex real-life problems by building highly user-friendly software.

With Sendchamp, you can send messages to your customers anywhere.

The design process for Sendchamp is simple. First, at Sendchamp, they are developers and business people but more importantly, at Sendchamp, they talk to customers to know what is essential to them. Their work is to simplify that process such that they do all configurations on the dashboard and write less code. SWEET, RIGHT?

The set objective for the team at Sendchamp has always been to build a solution that would ensure essential and important communication services scattered across Africa are accessible over APIs, thereby solving the problem of having to work with multiple providers, limited channels, limited communication services, and regulation and a very stressful integration process. 

The journey to building a solution that houses all these communication channels in one place became the goal. But, of course, they are also keen on ensuring they deliver a robust developer dashboard with clear and deep insights with seamless integration processes as the core.  Over the months, Sendchamp has created a simple and easy way to help developers integrate Communication APIs for messaging across different messaging channels and a community that is ever ready to help.
