Solution	The requirements to integrate with MPESA and the need to exploit the distribution channel dictated that a Safaricom enabled product was a requirement. Eseye worked with the teams to design the product, run the back office data processing and integrate into the Safaricom network.

To make this easy M-KOPA chose to co- locate their servers in one of the data centres Eseye uses for its enterpriseM2M+ platform. The Eseye M2M platform manages connectivity from the SIM directly to the application server. Read More Log in to view content
