Abci-Nexus, the technology-enabled holding company behind Bboxx, has announced the launch of Asopo Technologies, a new software-focused business that will take the group’s proprietary Pulse platform to market as a standalone B2B SaaS product.
The move marks a major structural evolution for Abci-Nexus and reflects a broader shift: separating its retail and consumer operations from its software and infrastructure layer, so each can scale faster and more efficiently.
Pulse was originally built to power Bboxx’s distributed, asset-financed business model across Africa. It integrates mobile money, credit operations, device and asset tracking into a single AI-powered system.
Pulse will be offered to other companies across multiple sectors and geographies. This positions it as a core operating system for asset-financed products in growth markets.
According to Abci-Nexus Group CEO Anthony Osijo, the new structure allows each part of the group to focus on what it does best:
“Abci-Nexus will concentrate on capital, partnerships and governance; Bboxx on delivering reliable products and meaningful impact; and Asopo Technologies on building world-class scalable software.”
Under the new architecture, Bboxx remains the group’s retail and consumer credit business, headquartered in Kigali. It will continue serving urban and underserved rural customers with products like clean energy, clean cooking, smartphones, e-mobility and selected financial services.
Bboxx’s Co-founder and CTO Christopher Baker-Brian, who will also serve as Managing Director of Asopo Technologies, said Pulse has already proven itself in the real world:
“Pulse has powered Bboxx’s growth for more than a decade… By spinning it out, we can now offer the same infrastructure to other companies building asset-financed businesses in emerging markets.”
