BizEx

What BizEx does

BizEx Limited is a privately held, diversified enterprise group founded in 2018 and dual-registered in Uganda and South Sudan, operating through six business units spanning digital solutions (BDigital), construction and engineering (BConstruction), community empowerment programs (BEmpower), vehicle sales (BCar), food and catering (Bangla Matam), and residential housing (BizEx Apartment). The company positions itself as a one-stop integrated services platform for NGOs, government institutions, SMEs, and enterprises across East Africa, with regional headquarters in Kampala (Plot 126, Semawata Road, Ntinda) and primary operating presence in Juba, South Sudan (Plot 484, 3K South, Tongping). Its customer base is heavily weighted toward the development sector, including UNDP, South Sudan Red Cross, IRC, Water for South Sudan Foundation, UNIDOR, Children Aid South Sudan, and similar organizations, with services delivered primarily through direct sales engagement and project-based contracting.

The technology backbone is delivered through BDigital, which implements and customizes ERPNext (via a core partnership with Frappe), deploys the proprietary Eshteri e-procurement and HR/payroll system for NGOs, builds custom software and websites, and resells Microsoft 365 cloud and security services. BDigital has also developed a portfolio of consumer and ecosystem platforms — Dukaanye (e-commerce marketplace for South Sudanese entrepreneurs), Jobs of South Sudan (national job portal), Mahara (digital learning platform), and Startup South Sudan (entrepreneur support platform) — that extend the unit beyond enterprise IT services. The group has 11-50 employees, no disclosed external funding, and pricing across units is quote-based and negotiated per project rather than standardized. Mohammad Shahin (Managing Director) and S M Owasiul Islam (Director) lead the company; Shahin is concurrently MD/CEO of Data Grid Limited, indicating tightly linked technology operations across affiliated entities.
