Manufacturing
Dangote Cement
Queue and fleet control for one of Africa's largest cement plants
Demand outgrew the gate. We built the system that runs the cement queue and the company fleet, closing the gaps where fraud had taken hold.
Yanos Group designs and runs the ERP, payment and data systems behind Ethiopian manufacturers, banks and institutions.
The Perfect Harmony
Every project balances three things.
Held in balance, they make one shape.
That is how we deliver on time, on budget and built to last.
- Technology. We pick tools that fit today and still have room to scale, customize and last.
- Resource. People, material, time and budget are finite. Careful planning makes each one count.
- Process. Scope, time, budget and quality held in balance, on a method proven across dozens of projects.
Written in Ge'ez, the classical script of Ethiopia.
Yanos means strong and determined.
It is a Ge'ez word, and its symbol is the Lion : the face and spirit of Ethiopia. We named the company after both, and we work to deserve them.
Our vision is Making Life Simple, and helping make Ethiopia the technology hub of the continent.
