Browse all featuredAmbalay Maps serves developers, businesses, logistics companies, ride-hailing platforms, e-commerce services, NGOs and public institutions that depend on accurate location data in Ethiopia Most global mapping platforms do not fully understand Ethiopian addresses, landmarks, road conditions, local languages or the way people naturally describe places. This creates problems for delivery, transportation, customer onboarding, field operations and emergency response. Ambalay Maps solves this by providing locally built mapping APIs for geocoding, directions, route planning, travel-time calculations, live tracking, vector maps, and landmark-based location search in Amharic and English. It matters now because more Ethiopian services are becoming digital, but they still lack reliable local mapping infrastructure. Ambalay Maps helps them build faster, reduce operational costs, improve customer experience, and rely on technology designed for the realities of Ethiopia and Africa

a platform that connects Ethiopian developers with buyers, making it easy to sell and buy software products.
Ethiopian developers have no real way to monetize their skills locally — platforms like CodeCanyon or Gumroad require foreign credit cards and don't support Ethiopian payment systems. Meanwhile, local businesses needing software have no trustworthy place to find it, relying instead on scattered Telegram and Facebook groups full of scam risk and no buyer protection. Ethiopian developers who've built tools or SaaS products have no way to sell them or get paid locally. Local businesses and individuals searching for affordable software have no safe place to find it. SoftShip solves this with local payments powered by Chapa, running entirely in Ethiopian Birr via mobile money or bank transfer. It gives developers a real storefront — a professional space to list and sell products, replacing scattered social media posts. Built-in trust comes from seller KYC, buyer-seller messaging, and reviews, replacing social media guesswork. And it's local-first by design, with full bilingual support in Amharic and English. It's economic infrastructure — giving Ethiopian developers a sustainable way to earn from their skills, and giving local businesses faster, safer access to the software they need, keeping value circulating within the local economy.
