We've been building software in Uganda since 2012. Every client has different needs, different challenges, different environments. Our job is to understand what you're trying to do and build technology that fits — whether that's a financial system for a rural savings group or a mobile app for city logistics. We focus on making things that work reliably, even when conditions aren't perfect.
Technology is how we tell stories. Every app, every website, every system we build is telling the story of what an organization does and why it matters. Our name reflects that belief — that code is a way to share your mission with the world.
We began in 2012 offering web development and IT support. By 2019, Codetales expanded into full-stack software development, building web apps, mobile apps, and data systems for organizations across Uganda and beyond. Today, we work with a distributed team of developers and technical partners who bring different expertise — from cloud infrastructure to financial systems to AI integration. We've built everything from microsavings platforms to the GoodBoda logistics app to AI-powered learning tools with voice capabilities. The common thread? Building systems that work reliably in real-world conditions, whether that means handling spotty internet, securing sensitive financial data, or processing information offline.
Over the years, we've built a pretty diverse portfolio: • Websites and web applications for businesses and organizations • Financial tracking systems for savings groups and cooperatives • Data collection platforms that work without internet • Mobile apps like GoodBoda (a logistics and safety platform for Uganda's boda boda sector) • AI-powered tools including voice assistants and automated learning systems • Custom workflow and community management platforms We work with NGOs, businesses, schools, cooperatives, and community organizations — basically anyone who needs reliable digital tools that fit their reality.
We work with modern, reliable technologies: Python and Flask for server-side work, React for building responsive interfaces, PostgreSQL for data storage, and AWS for cloud hosting. When projects need AI capabilities, we integrate tools like Google's Gemini, OpenAI, or Anthropic's Claude. The tech stack matters less than building something that actually solves your problem.
Website Development, E-Commerce and online selling platforms.
We build mobile-friendly web apps that work on Android and iOS devices. They're designed to function offline and automatically sync data when internet becomes available. Every project includes 6 months of support and training for your team.
We provide administrative and technical IT support for all our clients to ensure that you have uninterrupted work hours.
Improve on your online reputation with our branding and marketing strategy and a dedicated team.
If you have ever wondered about your elusive creative self, you are not the only one; Get started in our "Hug a programmer" tutorial series and within 5 weeks or less, you will build your own website and have a better understanding of how websites work.
We all know that code runs almost every important aspect of our modern lives, and there are many short courses online about it, however, we don't always have the time to apply this knowledge - therefore we need to find easier ways to apply this knowledge. That's the reason why I started the "hug a programmer" series.
Writing code, like anything really, is about expressing yourself, with the extra advantage of being able to turn your ideas into reality by using some lines of code and with the Internet, your idea is instantly accessible to all the devices in the world
