Software development and IT consultancy for the Central African Republic

Opesware builds accounting, ERP, health and microfinance software for organisations in the Central African Republic, delivered remotely from Douala with scheduled missions to Bangui.

In short

For organisations in the Central African Republic, Opesware is a practical software and IT partner: it is a CEMAC company whose products follow SYSCOHADA and OHADA, work in FCFA, run in French and English, integrate Orange Money and other local wallets, and are designed offline-first, which suits remote delivery and sites far from Bangui.

The legal and financial framework in the Central African Republic

The Central African Republic is a member of CEMAC and OHADA, and the CEMAC Commission has its headquarters in Bangui. Companies use the CFA franc (XAF) issued by the BEAC, keep accounts under the revised SYSCOHADA and are governed by the OHADA uniform acts. French and Sango are the official languages.

National taxes and social security (CNSS) declarations are configured per client by Opesware at deployment, on top of the OHADA-common accounting core. See ERP services.

Sectors that need software in the CAR

  • Timber: forestry concessions in the south-west export largely through the Douala corridor and need log traceability, stock and export documents. See timber company software.
  • Agriculture: coffee, cotton and food crops, often organised in cooperatives.
  • Mining: diamonds and gold, where purchase registers and traceability matter.
  • NGOs, international programmes and health: project accounting, payroll, pharmacy stock and patient records.
  • Microfinance and trade in Bangui: loan management, retail and POS.

Remote, offline-first delivery

Long distances and uneven connectivity make remote, offline-first delivery the sensible model in the Central African Republic. Opesware develops and supports systems from Douala, installs them during scheduled missions, and designs them so that each site keeps working without a connection and synchronises when it can. Our OPES Health Systems follow the same principle for clinics and hospitals.

Mobile Money and company formation

Orange Money is the most established Mobile Money service in the CAR; Opesware integrates it and other local wallets into collections and payouts (fintech services).

Company formalities go through the GUFE (Guichet unique de formalités des entreprises) in Bangui. Opesware advises on the OHADA legal form and coordinates with local partners, without a guaranteed delay. Our 72-hour service applies only to company registration in Cameroon.
