Some companies build software. Some build solar plants. Some send out engineers. We do all three — and they make each other better. UTATU Opus is a pan-African group, founded in Uganda, building the platforms, plants and infrastructure that move Africa forward.
Solar consultation, installation, training & lifetime after-sales support.
Reconciliation, analytics, identity capture & regulatory reporting software.
Process, mechanical, piping, civil & structural engineering delivery.
UTATU Opus operates to globally recognised ISO management standards — certified where issued, and actively pursuing certification across the rest.
Certificates issued by accredited certification bodies. Standards marked “in progress” are under active implementation and audit. Verification details available on request.
UTATU is a conglomerate of diverse businesses powered by young professionals from many cultures and nations — united by one African heart.
We specialise in creating solutions and platforms that empower African businesses, individuals and their clients to solve real, everyday problems — from the boardroom to the field.
We are urban and energetic. Doing business with us gives you peace of mind, and makes you confident.
To create distinctive, lasting and substantial solutions for our clients.
UTATU brings renewable energy, intelligent software and hands-on engineering under a single roof — so your project is delivered end to end.
Tailormade solar that turns unused rooftops, carports and land into clean power and real savings — from year one.
Software built for African banks, finance houses and institutions — reconciliation, analytics, data capture and compliance.
Registered engineers with 6+ years' experience across process, mechanical, piping, civil and structural disciplines.
Beyond client work, UTATU builds and runs its own products — each solving a real problem for a real market, and each with a home of its own.
Bank audit confirmations, digitised.
ConfirmRail puts auditors and banks on a single secure rail — replacing slow, paper-based confirmation letters with fast, traceable digital confirmations, built for East African audit firms and financial institutions.
Order, pay and tip — from the table.
Tap is a mobile-first platform for restaurants, bars and venues. Guests order, pay and tip straight from their phones, while operators get live control of their venue — global by design, launching in Uganda.
The standard for great schools.
Scholaris brings everything a school runs on into one place — admissions, academics, attendance, fees and communication — with offline-capable tools purpose-built for African schools.
The checkout line, finally optional.
Alexi turns any store into a scan-and-go experience. Shoppers scan items and pay from their phone — no queues — while stores get a modern checkout and a full management console, with no new hardware to install.
The UTATU Suite is a proprietary family of tools trusted by banks and financial institutions to automate the slow, manual, error-prone work — reconciliation, analytics, data capture and regulatory compliance — all engineered, hosted and supported by a team that's in the same time zone as you.
Designed around real regulatory needs — CRB submissions, GoAML/FIU reporting and full audit trails.
Urecon, PrismIQ, URegista and uFIU share the same engineering DNA and work together seamlessly.
Live and trusted at Tropical Bank and Goldmine Finance, with successful POCs across the region.
On-premise hosting, tailored customisation and a support team that responds — even after go-live.
A cutting-edge automation tool that streamlines reconciliation for financial institutions — ensuring accuracy, efficiency and transparency across high transaction volumes and multiple platforms.
Pulls from Core Banking, MTN & Airtel mobile money, VISA/Interswitch.
Matches transactions by reference number, Trans ID and account number.
Detailed reconciliation reports in clear, user-friendly formats.
Hosted on-premises with role-based access and clear audit trails.

ALCTR — aggregated large cash transaction reports, on schedule.
IWTR — cross-border transfer reporting, fully automated.
Best-practice standards reduce cost and risk in regulatory reporting.
When the Bank of Uganda's Automated Clearing House (KACH) moved to the new ISO 20022 standard, every bank had to upgrade how its payment messages are formatted — or risk being cut off from clearing. Novena Rail is the interface that makes that upgrade seamless: it validates, transforms and safely forwards every payment message, with a tamper-evident record of each one.
Automatically converts payment messages to the new ISO 20022 format KACH requires.
Every message is checked against schema, ISO rules and business rules before it clears.
Each processed message is hash-chained and preserved — a record you can prove.
A bad file is quarantined with the exact reason code — nothing fails silently.
Config-driven sockets slot into any bank's environment without re-engineering.
Institution, connectivity, branding and review — co-branded with the bank's own logo.

UTATU is conceived by four thinkers excelling independently in data analytics, electrical & mechanical engineering, data science and business computing. The flagship Data Analytics Suite — the seed of today's PrismIQ (originally Uanalyze) — is born.
UTATU Engineering is established and quickly partners with an international solar company on two major projects as a subcontractor — laying the foundation for the Renewable Energy division. The team also collaborates with a firm in India on facial-detection software for a South African security client.
Our software engineers develop the Uregista identity and data-capture platform and demo it to the NRM, then showcase it to financial institutions and schools needing organised, timely data capture — both online and offline.
The co-founders re-register the company under its current name and partner with Nexus Green, Coca-Cola and Davis & Shirtliff on engineering projects. The IT arm builds the GoAML tool — the basis of uFIU — and the company extends its solutions to Zimbabwe with partner Omega Sol Ltd.
The Urecon reconciliation tool is created. Successful proofs of concept run at Tropical Bank Uganda and Goldmine Finance, a data-analytics POC is delivered at Biyinzika Poultry International, and a call centre is installed at the Uganda Insurers Association.
After multiple proofs of concept, Urecon is selected for full implementation at Tropical Bank and Goldmine Finance. The CRB Submissions Tool launches at Goldmine Finance, and UTATU's Engineering Arm is chosen to install solar across all Stabex International fuel stations.
UTATU moves from project tools to standalone products — building ConfirmRail for digital bank audit confirmations, Tap for mobile ordering and payments, and growing Scholaris into a complete school management system. The group also sponsors the JICO League 2024/2025.
From its Kampala head office, UTATU Opus now operates a network of offices across the continent — Kenya, Tanzania, Malawi and Sierra Leone — bringing solar, software and engineering closer to the markets that need them.
