Software, websites and social media, built in Addis Ababa.
Teraltus
Teraltus is a software studio in Addis Ababa. We build the systems a business runs on: the CRM a sales team opens every morning, the ERP that closes the month, the website that has to load on a slow connection. The work is meant to be used, not admired. What we care about is whether it still holds up in year three.

What we take on
Internal systems: CRM, ERP, dispatch, intake. We start with a two week discovery, priced on its own, and you keep the findings whether or not we build.
Marketing sites and web apps that load on a 3G connection and survive an editor who is not technical. Measured on time to first byte and on whether the client can update it alone.
Calendar, production and reporting in Amharic and English. One monthly report, with the numbers that moved and the ones that did not.
Where a model is cheaper than a process, we say so. Where it is not, we say that too. Every pilot ships with a test it can fail.
Four rules we quote against
- Name a test you could fail
- Every engagement states, before it starts, the measurement that would prove it did not work.
- Sell the discovery, not the build
- Two weeks, fixed price, written findings. You can take them to another studio.
- Priced in birr
- Quotes in ETB, against a scope in writing. No hourly drift.
- Built to be left
- Source, credentials and documentation are yours from day one.

Software that is understood is software that gets used; the rest is a licence someone is paying for.
