 As we are backwards more of why in the morning entrepreneurship Tuesday as I said earlier I go by the name of Barry Moses or it's my money we so show me the platform now first segment of the day involves a gentleman who's doing amazing work in the tech industry he goes by the name Kenneth Matiba and his he is the CEO and founder of TyroTech is here in studio with me Karibusana Mr. Kenneth. It's a pleasure to meet you Kenneth once I read about a scary one go up I got fascinated by this yes I've never seen something like this in the country I always complain about response time when it comes to emergency but now we have something like a scary one go but if I missed anything in the intro you can say your camera is numb okay thank you so much for this opportunity in TyroTech we say we think different and we solve the problems that each that money the lowest money inch is passing through so in TyroTech when I decided to come up with the sum of the solution I did the content then I looked up for the best developers being supervised by me and we said what are the problems that we have passed so that we can solve we can solve through tech therefore I decided immediate problem that I passed through personally that is security then that that one made me to come up with an app known as a scary one before talk about a scary one maybe you'd like to shed some light on your background in education what did you study before you got into this nice I did virtual of commerce finance option then since I graduated I've been working on the IT firms I don't know maybe God has a purpose for that as a finance as a finance and I was heading the sales on marketing team on all the way through in IT firm so I saw what IT firm can bring and what they out it can it was I've been solving the problems on the firm that I've been employed to so one day I decided if I can make this kind of money with the background that I have to this IT company what if I start my own company today and that's how I grow passion and I say I'm going to start my own company IT company that is going to solve a given problem because now I've turned I had already gotten in to IT and had I had I knew the challenges and the advantages of it so when coming in I was not concentrating on the advantages but now concentrating on how can improve the disadvantages and that I found on the IT field because most people are coming they are more system yes and more up but they were not solving the existing problems of one inch so you need to understand the problems that the immediate population is patient before you come up with a solution to the example understand the problem what to Kenneth Mateeba CEO and founder of TyroTech he says you need to understand the problems of your consumers first true before you solve them back to a scary poor now you were facing problems with security did you get robbed or something yeah but by that time where the estate where I live there was a lot of robbery a lot of theft cases around there so one day I was I wake up and I went to the stage when was I was when I was going to my workplace very early in the morning 645 so in in this bus the robbers came in with the guns the tellers put everything public transport public transport very lucky some I think it was a lot in media so we were there we gave our laptop we gave our phone and wallets and they were there for 30 minutes so I said no after that I went down and do a content what I passed through I don't need somebody to pass through again then I said if whatever come up with the emergency communication up that can trigger the nearest police station or the private security agencies to respond within 7 to 10 minutes because by that time these people robbed us for over 30 minutes if we could be having a given up that can trigger our information within this shorted period then these people could have not run away or they could have not done anything wrong with some we could have just click a button and the police or the private security firm could have been a club what are the information the sooner you get to the scene the easier it gets to solve the crime sure but you see it took 30 minutes nobody came and they ran away from they they took everything from from us guys so I'm trying to understand how this up works yeah so I have the app I click the button yeah the response button and then it notifies say the police yes police does it give them my location as well as Kariwango is a very unique is a unique is a unique app that has never been realized before in Kenya as Kariwango just a simple definition of it is emergency communication up when we're in the following emergency in security hospital accident fire rape and domestic violence so we have all those panicking button at a click of it it will pop up those panicking buttons so when you're in security distress you just click police and when you click police it will search the nearest police station and it will decide the nearest security firm that we are partnered with the reason why we are partnered with security firms most people don't believe in Kenyan police but so far so good they have responded to our our cases within seven to ten minutes but now for backup we came and I will decide a less partner with security firms so that if they delay the security firms can private security firm can can get in like stallion security firm use on security firm and metro are within we have them as a partners so when you click let's say I click I'm here and I click the security panicking button it will say it will search the nearest police station and you will send Kenneth Matiba is in emergency and he needs immediate security response at this place so when they are coming they will not call me because I'm in emergency the app will be directing them to where I am it's a life GPS location all right perfect this seems to be working perfectly yeah so I what you're trying to tell me as a private citizen or in my home or in my workplace or my business I don't really need to employ the security firms directly you don't need I can get the app you can get the response from them anything whenever I need it perfectly I don't need the security guy to stand there for a long time you need your phone as a security I need my phone as a security sure how much is it going to cost me to have the it's going to cost you a hundred Bob we're charging this hundred Bob a man the reason why we're charging a hundred Bob a man that is three Bob a day so that that mama bogus will benefit from this app if you charge the reason why we are changing a hundred Bob is if they let's say because we have only talked about security but remember the app as the panicking button for accident at the panicking button for fire and rape and domestic domestic violent rape cases so let's say you are seriously sick at night code for B door your kid and you don't you don't have a car and you click the ambulance we are in partner with Red Cross radio St. John ambulance room and nursing home and some of the hospitals so when you click it's going to such the nearest ambulance and Red Cross ambulance will come and pick you to the hospital if it's to the hospital and the advantage of that the app will locate the nearest hospital so when ambulance comes to pick you they don't take you to any other hospital all right up will direct them to so I won't have to pay any fee for this ambulance but we don't we pay it out of a hundred Bob out of this sure so the only thing I need to pay is a hundred per month yeah I get to the hospital if I'm not insured yeah you need to pay but but the transfer is scattered for wonderful yeah so that's the reason why we are charging a hundred Bob all right that is the reason why you're charging and yeah another thing I'd like to get to know rape and domestic violence is is a is a sad thing is a sad reality sure so and I don't think rape and domestic violence is can be handled effectively yeah by the police sure who responds to these cases like in rape the first in the the first thing that should always happen it's the first thing that should open when someone is raped the first thing is to go to hospital so we always give when you are in rape you click ambulance part of it so that this ambulance can come and take you to the hospital then because when you are in the hospital even the police can come and do a recording of what happened yeah yeah I can do a report for you so after we always encourage our girls and our daughters mothers aunties to have the app so in case of anything happens to them we are not praying for that to happen because it can happen anyway yeah it can happen so when you click the ambulance can come there immediately to take you to the hospital because so we need always the first thing is to get medication they check up on you before any other thing this is amazing progress for women and our ladies out there in fighting rape sure so you'll find your way in the tech industry yeah to help come this fights right here I like that as much as you're in in this business to make money also impact in a very special way I like to focus on another app that you guys have created and this one is the mechanic the other man is also very interesting tell me more about this the mechanic is a very interesting app as I told you there is no any app that we are coming up with that is solving a problem that I've not passed through I sat it down I said what are the problem that I passed through that I can't go through inspire you to come up with the app there's a day that we are going to our was traveling to your catch and we were stuck at 6 am in 12 am in the morning and we didn't have any other mechanic around we were there up to 6 a.m. I mean from 12 am to 12 12 to 6 a.m. waiting to find a mechanic so I decided no nobody will pass no it's not going to pass through this this problem again that's why I came up with I did a content and I brought my my developers together and we said you want to do this so my mechanic has a very unique a very unique app that helps you locate the nearest mechanic mechanic or breakdown when your car has a technical problem I mean develops a mechanical problem let's say you are traveling to migore and on the way in the middle of the road your car develops a mechanical problem that's mean that that car cannot be made that cannot be repaired from where it is it has to be place so remember you don't you're not working out you're not working around with the breakdowns so you just click you just get into your mechanic up it will such the nearest breakdown and the nearest breakdown will come and take you to the nearest garage it's a minor problem and the mechanic the car is a place where it can be it can be serviced you just click the app you go because if you click the app as a client it takes it has three three modules number one is breakdown number three is the auto electric electrician then number two is general mechanic so you know your car if you see if you find that there is something wrong with your car you say this maybe it's just a minor wiring you don't look for general mechanic you click auto electrical mechanic so I mean it will search for the electrician who will come and sort you but if it's a general mechanic general mechanic that you need I don't know what is happening in your car you will come and click general mechanic and research the nearest mechanic then another thing this time we have something a diagnosis machine nowadays very hard to find the car that are coming in you have to have that machine to identify the problem of the car so when you are when the mechanic is registering the app will ask him the app will ask him sorry him or her do you have a diagnosed machine or not so even if you know if you if you are if you are searching for a mechanic you will if need a mechanic with the diagnosis or machine or not you can easily get you can specify so you can order a mechanic or a breakdown according to your specifications according to the problems according to the way you understand yeah even we have even label kind of vehicle that they make that they make because there's a someone who can make Japan cars and someone who cannot make Japan car there's someone who can make Germany cars the someone who cannot make Germany cars so it's space fighters which kind of vehicle you have and it brings your list of the mechanics around you who can make that kind of type of car you have I'm trying to understand the process because you have made these applications to detail I'm trying to understand the process you don't have a background in mechanics or engineering yeah how do you get to these details to these fine details how is the creative process like the creative process part of it when a mechanic has decided there is a slight interview that they do in the app so before we accept them we confirm them to be part and parcel of Tyratek there are some of the stages that they pass through there are a lot of question that we ask before we give them an okay so that make us in that makes us have a credible and trusted mechanics of mechanics of mechanics I get that you have a trusted list of mechanics but I'm interested in the creative process the development of the app because you guys are from different backgrounds yeah how do you make sure that you have developed the app to detail like the one you're telling me about is it like a conference meeting where you write the algorithms on the board like we see in the movie what we do I sit down I come with the content we have our offices along gong road and we have over over seven developers being led by someone known as a leisure sure it's a leisure then we have been then we have done we have a very young young fellow that is still schooling but we give them opportunity to prove what is Sam University then we have massive from Chuka University they're good they are good developers then we have another one Dixon that I can't forget so when once I have this content we go in a boardroom I tell them that this is what I have in mind how are we going to make this thing to be a problem to solve a problem each and every person will give his view and on developing a hub we have four four part of it we have front end we have user interface we have back end and and we have web web app so each and every developer will take what he or she is best in and once they're done we come and integrate it through APIs and it goes like teamwork makes the dream work how much should he cost me to get onto the my mechanic mechanic is free of charge the only way we charge we don't we only charge mechanics when we connect to the created business yeah a lot of sense yeah all right so there's a lot going on at Tyre Tech currently and questions are coming in people have tried to find the first up that we talked about a scary one try to find it online but they can't find it what's going on I just told you where before you came on air number one we wanted the Google regulation said that you cannot post an app less than two dollars so when we place it on up on stating two dollars what happens is that people are getting it hard because we place an eye when you Google ask anyone it was charging 200 but a student load so this was very tending to be add and some of the payment payment modes were in person express and debit and you find that some of the some of the funds that don't have a pizza and Kenyans fear using their cars online so we we were there is it we find it hard and to our clients who need to use our services so what happens from yesterday from Friday we were making a developing credit coding and in purchase payment so this morning we removed the app from the place to so that we fix the in purchase payment whereby you can download that's going for free but you pay for the service so before the end of the day and tomorrow morning the app will be up and running yes before the end of the day that will be up and running back on Google right the iOS crew asking are they covered as well though they are not covered yet because in us in our time we call it hybrid but there is the two guys a legend summer working on the on the iOS iOS version which before the end of this month all our apps are going to be having the iOS but the one that we are developing as per now are they are going to come on to this two versions but as carry one one my mechanic are only on androids but we are making sure that before the end of the before the end of the month that we have both both versions so through making these changes like the changes you're making today you've learnt a lot in the process yeah we have learnt all right so what can you tell us about the process because people want to get rich overnight yeah yes people want to bet people want to get loans that they can service so what do you what does the process mean to you the process means a lot to me as you like things that are ready that are ready we don't like process one two three this job made me to be fired what I do they saw me on live TV they were young like this it cost me a job but I don't regret it has made me in face it has made the employees some guys today it has made me think outside the box and that made me come with problem solution to much more problems so process is always the needs determination and you know what you want always have one advice to our youth that a process is a process these were these life is like a relay a relay is where I give you stick then you give another person a stick in the real in on the way this stick can fall but if the stick falls and you go you guide and finish the race without the stick even if you're number one you'll not be counted number one you have to go back and pick the stick and make sure the finish line so it's the same thing is a process process is the best thing start from somewhere so that when you're up tomorrow you can trace where you started from no that's waking up you need you need something to do you need something you need you get you want something things happens from from from nothing so start from somewhere idea is best than money believe me I started this thing without any kind of silly any coin but today terror take is paying salaries taxes as well taxes as well and paying my bills today so it started from somewhere it's so less as you should not just be we need ready things ready things at times they are expensive to us and they can cost our lives all right yeah I'd like to focus on the last aspect of the business yeah I think this is the most important aspect the idea might be great sure the product might be amazing sure remarkable but getting it to the consumer yeah and getting the consumer to understand it sure is the most important so I know there are very many up developers out there we're watching right now yeah what is your style of getting the app or the product to the consumer and getting them understand this considering not everybody as a background in it or programming or computer knowledge or computer skills and taking the product to the market because in it we have two things we have development development business development part of it and up development part of it yes development in the room will be much more easier but how are you going to convince someone that this app is going to is going to help them change your life especially in Kenya most of we haven't accepted that take to be part the country to be part of us so how I take it outside there we have a good group a good a good group of sales and marketing team that are well trained well educated of on our apps so they go out there if they know what they are going to sell and we don't sell our apps we sell a solution that's where people get it wrong they're going to sell the app instead of selling a solution that this problem that is this app is going to solve so as we don't tell us to carry one we sell the problem at the solution that's going to bring so it should go something like have you ever experienced yeah then we can solve this in this is not have you heard of this no all right wonderful words from you taking very much from coming through to why in the morning before you can go your social media handles and the website and how they can get to interact with these apps and how they can get to learn about them okay our social media account let me start apart from developing our apps we develop any kind of apps so if you want a app or any kind of system you call you can contact us have an idea and I don't have the developers you have the capacity you can contact at the very cheapest way we have our headquarters at gong road just Nazarene complex just up beside Coptic Plaza we have branch in Uganda we have a branch in Kisumu and a laureate coming soon next week you can find us on Facebook at title tech or world title tech solution worldwide on Twitter at title tech solutions then our first numbers are 07 9167 949 9 thank you for making the world a better place thank you in particular thank you so much we appreciate it thank you all right so this is Kenneth Matiba the CEO and founder of Tyratek they're finding the finding solutions to the Kenyan problems to the local problems you can find them on social media as Tyratek right hello this is coming up next with another interview so don't go nowhere don't touch that down
