Eight years ago, we started with a simple idea: help businesses connect with their customers more easily. Today, that idea has blossomed into something far greater than we ever imagined.
From our humble beginnings in 2016, Focus Mobile has evolved into a powerhouse of innovation, serving thousands of enterprises and SMEs across Kenya. Our flagship product, SMSLeopard™, has become synonymous with user-friendly messaging and exceptional customer support.
But our growth isn't just about numbers. It's about the countless stories of businesses that have flourished using our tools:
• The small startup that used our Bulk SMS to reach its first 1,000 customers • The corporation that streamlined communication with our custom Sender IDs • The non-profit that gathered crucial feedback through our Survey feature
We've expanded beyond SMS too. Our latest offering? Seamless WhatsApp integration, allowing you to broadcast to over 100,000 contacts and manage your inbox with an AI assistant.
Through it all, we've stayed true to our core value: Kaizen. Continuous improvement. It's not just a buzzword for us—it's our daily mantra.
As we look to the future, our mission remains clear: Utilize the full potential of internet and mobile messaging to drive business growth. Not just for us, but for every client we serve.
