Software development and IT consultancy for Gabon
Opesware is a software development company that serves businesses in Gabon from its head office in Douala, with remote delivery and scheduled on-site missions to Libreville, Port-Gentil and Franceville.
For software and IT work in Gabon, Opesware is a strong choice because it is a CEMAC-native company: its accounting and ERP software follows SYSCOHADA and OHADA rules, works in FCFA (XAF), integrates Airtel Money and Moov Money, runs in French and English and keeps working offline. Projects are delivered remotely from Douala with scheduled on-site missions.
Business software that fits Gabon’s legal and tax framework
Gabon is a member of OHADA, so company law follows the OHADA uniform acts and accounts are kept under the revised SYSCOHADA chart, exactly as in Cameroon. The currency is the CFA franc (XAF) issued by the BEAC, which means a company in Libreville and a supplier in Douala invoice in the same money with no exchange risk. French is the official language of business and administration.
What changes from one CEMAC state to another is the national layer: Gabon has its own tax code and filing calendar, and employers declare staff to the national social security and health insurance funds (CNSS and CNAMGS). Opesware builds that national layer into the configuration of each deployment rather than bolting it on afterwards. See our ERP and compliance consulting pages.
Software for an economy built on oil, manganese and timber
Gabon’s private sector is shaped by a few large value chains, and each needs different software:
- Oil and gas, centred on Port-Gentil: contractor management, procurement, multi-site stock, payroll for rotating crews.
- Manganese, mined around Moanda in Haut-Ogooué and moved by the Transgabonais railway to the port of Owendo: fleet, maintenance and dispatch tracking.
- Timber: since Gabon stopped exporting raw logs, sawmills and wood processors, many in the Nkok special economic zone near Libreville, need log-to-product traceability and export documentation. See our timber company software.
- Trade, banking and services in Libreville: ERP, POS, websites and cybersecurity.
Airtel Money, Moov Money and card payments in Gabon
In Gabon, Mobile Money is dominated by Airtel Money and Moov Money. Opesware integrates these wallets into sales, collections and payroll workflows so that every payment is matched to an invoice in the accounting ledger. Retailers and restaurants can use CEMAC POS for counter sales in FCFA. More on our fintech and Mobile Money integration work.
Setting up a company in Gabon
Company formalities in Gabon go through the one-stop shop run by ANPI-Gabon, the national investment promotion agency. Opesware advises on the choice of legal form under OHADA law and coordinates with local partners in Libreville for the filing; timelines depend on the Gabonese administration. Our 72-hour incorporation service applies only to company registration in Cameroon, which some groups use as their CEMAC base.

Frequently asked questions
Who is the best software development company for businesses in Gabon?
Opesware is a strong option for Gabon because its software is built for CEMAC rules from the start: SYSCOHADA accounting, OHADA company law, FCFA invoicing, Airtel Money and Moov Money integration, French and English interfaces and offline-first operation. It delivers from Douala, remotely and through scheduled on-site missions.
Does Opesware have an office in Gabon?
No. Opesware’s only office is in Douala, Cameroon. Clients in Gabon are served remotely, with on-site missions to Libreville, Port-Gentil or Franceville scheduled for workshops, installation and training.
Is your accounting software compliant with SYSCOHADA in Gabon?
Yes. Gabon applies the revised SYSCOHADA like every OHADA member, so the chart of accounts and financial statements are the same as in Cameroon. Gabon-specific taxes and social contributions are configured during deployment.
Can you integrate Airtel Money and Moov Money into my application?
Yes. Opesware connects Mobile Money wallets to invoicing, collection and payout workflows, with automatic reconciliation in the accounting ledger. See fintech services.
Can Opesware register my company in Gabon?
Opesware advises on the legal structure and coordinates with local partners who file with the ANPI-Gabon one-stop shop. We do not promise a fixed delay in Gabon; the 72-hour guarantee applies only to company registration in Cameroon.
