Keeping your team motivated goes beyond paying them at the end of the month; it’s about recognition, connection, and culture. Many businesses struggle with low morale because team appreciation gets lost in the busyness of work. That’s why we built Spark!, our employee recognition and engagement tool. With Spark!, teams can:
Celebrate and recognise hardworking employees
Build a culture of appreciation, not just evaluation
Track recognition analytics to understand engagement levels
Spark! makes it easier to create a workplace where people feel valued and inspired to do their best.
Many small businesses in Africa struggle to manage their online brand presence. They move from one tool to another, trying to juggle invoicing, bookings, effective client communication, as well as managing their websites effectively. All these bring about the loss of time and resources.
That’s why we built Score!, our website management and invoicing tool, which helps take the stress of juggling plenty of tools off you. With Score!, as a small business owner or service provider, you can
Manage invoices and payments without the back-and-forth.
Take bookings seamlessly, never missing a client appointment.
Send newsletters and updates that keep your clients engaged.

We’ve all seen the movies, and so whenever we hear the word cybersecurity, we are most likely to picture a person in a dimly lit room, furiously typing different lines of code to stop a hacker in real time. Inasmuch as that might not be false, our cybersecurity expert at Spurt! Gives us more insight as to what it’s like.
Bornavita shares from her experience how the real work is less about those moments and more about building steady foundations that work. From understanding risks and documenting processes to training people, patching vulnerabilities, and preparing for incidents, cybersecurity is an ongoing cycle—not a one-time fix.
Security isn’t just about tools; it’s about people, strategy, and consistent effort. That’s what truly keeps businesses resilient and confident enough to grow.
