The challenge
Nile Roots Brewing was collecting M-Pesa payments manually and sending confirmations via WhatsApp. On-premise hosting caused slow load times for Kampala customers and no path to scale across Uganda distribution.
What we built
StackHost managed cloud with CI/CD pipeline
DesignX e-commerce storefront with M-Pesa integration
Automated order confirmations and inventory sync
24/7 monitoring and backup with 15-minute RPO
Results
CEO John Mwangi reported the M-Pesa automation was "a night-and-day change." Online orders increased, manual reconciliation ended, and the team focuses on brewing—not IT.
