A New Era of Work Management in Nigeria
We are excited to announce the launch of Afiam, a revolutionary work management platform designed specifically for Nigerian businesses and professionals. Built by the same team that brought you Zit.ng, Nigeria's fastest-growing e-commerce marketplace, Afiam represents our commitment to driving digital transformation across all aspects of Nigerian business operations.
What is Afiam?
Afiam is a comprehensive work management and productivity platform that helps businesses and individuals organize tasks, track progress, manage teams, and optimize workflows. Whether you're a small business owner, a freelancer, or managing a large enterprise, Afiam provides the tools you need to work smarter, not harder.
Why We Built Afiam
Through our experience building and scaling Zit.ng, we identified a critical gap in the Nigerian market: the lack of locally-developed, user-friendly work management tools that understand the unique challenges of Nigerian businesses. International solutions often fail to address local needs, from internet connectivity issues to payment integration and local business practices.
Afiam was born from this understanding. We wanted to create a platform that:
- Works seamlessly in Nigerian conditions - Optimized for varying internet speeds and mobile-first usage
- Understands local business culture - Designed with Nigerian work practices and team structures in mind
- Offers affordable pricing - Accessible to businesses of all sizes with transparent, Naira-based pricing
- Provides local support - Nigerian-based customer support that understands your challenges
- Integrates with local tools - Compatible with popular Nigerian payment platforms and business tools
