About Project

QahwaPoint

SmartFusion built QahwaPoint's e-commerce and smart-vending platform, letting customers order coffee, snacks, and beverages from the app and collect from QR-enabled vending machines - blending online ordering with self-service IoT dispensing across multiple cities.

About Client

QahwaPoint

QahwaPoint is a Kenya-based coffee business combining online ordering with QR-based smart vending machines placed in high-traffic locations. SmartFusion developed the full platform: a customer app for browsing menus, customising drinks, and paying; a QR-scan-to-dispense flow that connects orders to physical vending machines; personalised profiles with saved favourites and reorder; and the backend tying online commerce to the vending network.
