Revenue is generated through a mix of professional services engagements (custom development, IT support, NRS E-Invoicing system integration, DPCO advisory) and product subscriptions (iPay, Timex, GeeBoard). Go-to-market is sales-led via direct website engagement (doftwerks.com.ng) and dedicated product domains (ipaysuite.com, time-xp.com), targeting Nigerian and West African enterprises. The company holds ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification jointly with Stransact and is a private limited company operating from a single headquarters in Victoria Island, Lagos, with a headcount of 11–50 employees.
