Who We Are

Bridging technology and field realities

Our journey began in 2015 when we recognised that many organisations working in development and humanitarian settings were struggling to find technology partners who understood field realities and the importance of beneficiary-driven solutions. Many available platforms were too generic, too expensive, or not designed for low-connectivity environments, multi-partner programmes, or real-time decision-making. Glenwell was founded to bridge that gap.

Our Thematic Areas

Three pillars of digital transformation

From digital health platforms to disaster early warning and resilience monitoring · Glenwell builds systems where data matters most.

Project Portfolio

A decade of systems in the field

From national cancer surveillance to rangeland conservation and supply chain intelligence, every system we build is grounded in a real operational need.

Digital Health

CanceReg

Kenya Medical Research Institute (KEMRI) · 2015

A national Android application for standardised cancer case reporting across Kenya, built to WHO and IARC registry guidelines. The system captures patient demographics, ICD-O codes, diagnosis basis, and treatment intent, with encrypted sync to KEMRI's central database. Deployed across urban hospitals and rural health centres, CanceReg replaced fragmented paper records, improving data completeness and supporting national cancer burden estimates.

Resilience

Invasive Species Mapper

RCMRD / SERVIR East Africa · 2016

A production-grade Android GIS application for systematic collection of invasive species occurrence data in remote rangelands. Features include offline-first customisable forms capturing species identification, infestation severity, GPS coordinates, and photographs, with background synchronisation to RCMRD and SERVIR's spatial database. Data exports in GeoJSON, Shapefile, and CSV support analysis in QGIS and ArcGIS, enabling conservation organisations to generate distribution heatmaps and prioritise control interventions.

Disaster Response

Frost & Invasive Species Incident Reporter

Tea Cooperatives in Kenya & RCMRD · 2016

A dual-purpose mobile incident reporting system for Kenya's tea-growing regions. Farmers and extension officers report frost events and invasive species sightings in real time. Reports integrate with backend meteorological models ingesting satellite and ground data to generate 72-hour frost risk forecasts by cooperative zone, with push notifications to administrators. Offline capability with background sync keeps the system operational in areas with poor connectivity, shifting farming communities from reactive crop loss management to proactive risk response.

Disaster Response

NEMA Incidence Reporter

National Environmental Management Authority · 2016

A public-facing mobile reporting tool for environmental law violations under Kenya's Environmental Management and Coordination Act. Citizens report incidents across categories including wetland encroachment, illegal dumping, pollution, and deforestation, with GPS-tagged photos, descriptions, and timestamps. An administrative dashboard enables NEMA to triage, validate, and escalate cases to county enforcement teams, with data privacy controls protecting reporters. The system broadens geographic coverage of incident reporting well beyond what telephone hotlines can reach.

Resilience

EEMS Spatial Supply Chain System

Etcetera Marketing Company · 2016

A spatial enterprise system optimising supply chain and field marketing operations across Kenya. Core modules include territory mapping with geofenced agent zones, real-time field visit tracking, route optimisation based on dynamic order data, and mobile capture of in-store inventory and competitor pricing. Exposed APIs sync with ETC's ERP and inventory systems, reducing manual reconciliation and enabling data-driven decisions on stock allocation and sales coverage.

Resilience

ECD Centre Spatial Data System

Kisumu County Government · 2016

A spatial data collection system for Kisumu County's Department of Education to inventory and manage Early Childhood Development centres across the county. Each centre is georeferenced with attributes covering classrooms, sanitation, water access, and teacher-to-pupil ratios. Termly enrollment snapshots disaggregated by gender and age group feed a dashboard enabling county planners to visualise coverage gaps, identify overcrowded centres, and allocate budgets toward underserved wards and universal pre-primary education targets.

Our Development Philosophy

We apply design thinking to every solution we build

Off-the-shelf software rarely fits the complexity of field operations, multi-partner programmes, or low-connectivity environments. We begin with the people, not the technology.

01
Empathise
We spend time with field teams, programme officers, community members, and end users before writing a single line of code. Understanding real workflows, real constraints, and real frustrations is the starting point for every system we build.
02
Define
We synthesise what we learn into a clear problem statement. What data is missing? What decisions can't be made? What processes are creating delays or errors? This shapes the scope and architecture of the solution.
03
Ideate & Prototype
We co-design wireframes, data models, and workflows with stakeholders before development begins. Early prototypes are tested in the contexts they will actually be used, including offline environments and shared devices.
04
Test & Iterate
Every system goes through structured field testing with real users before full deployment. Feedback cycles are built into the process, not added at the end. We refine until the tool works the way people actually work.
