SME digitisation
A single operating system for small and medium businesses: leads, clients, projects, finance and communication in one place.
Government & public sector · MSE-07
This brief explains what the ecosystem offers the public, how it is controlled, what it commits to, and how an institution can work with it. Nothing is live yet; the platform is specified and partly built as source.
Where the ecosystem contributes to public goals.
A single operating system for small and medium businesses: leads, clients, projects, finance and communication in one place.
Engineering based in Pakistan, serving international markets and building skilled jobs.
Courses, cohorts and practical guidance for founders and professionals.
AI is disclosed, works only within the user's permissions, needs human approval for high-risk actions and is audited. Customer data is not used to train third-party models without explicit agreement.
English, Urdu (including Roman Urdu), Arabic and Portuguese, with right-to-left support, designed to WCAG 2.2 AA.
Business messaging with retention rules, legal hold and optional end-to-end encryption.
Every request passes through seven layers, top to bottom.
| Control | What it means |
|---|---|
| Purpose and consent | Data is collected for a stated purpose; consent is recorded with its version. |
| Tenant isolation | Each organisation's data is kept apart from every other organisation's. |
| Deny-by-default authorisation | Nothing is permitted unless a role explicitly grants it. |
| AI boundary | Data is filtered by the user's permissions before any model sees it. |
| Human approval | High-risk and business actions need a person to confirm. |
| Audit | Significant actions are recorded and can be inspected. |
| Money safety | The platform never holds funds; payments run through licensed providers. |
How a data-subject request is handled.
| Commitment | Detail | Document |
|---|---|---|
| Compliance with local law | Operate under the law of each market served. | MSE-42 |
| Data protection | Privacy by design, data-subject rights, breach handling. | MSE-18, MSE-45 |
| Data residency | Host data where the law or the customer requires. | — |
| Security | Security programme and controls. | MSE-12, MSE-117 |
| Lawful payments | Licensed payment providers only; no customer funds held. | — |
| Taxation | Register and account for taxes in each market. | — |
| Responsible AI | Disclosed, permission-bound, human-approved, audited. | MSE-41, MSE-136 |
| Lawful content | Content rules and takedown handling. | MSE-40 |
| Honest representation | Say what is specified, built and live — nothing more. | — |
