What do you know about PressOne Africa?

Since its founding in 2022, PressOne has had one job: creating cloud-based voice solutions for African businesses. Communication between customers and businesses is key, and PressOne’s goal is to ensure that businesses have the necessary tools to handle this aspect of their operations.

Let’s paint a picture of what PressOne does, shall we? For starters, they provide virtual business phone numbers that can be used by multiple people simultaneously, with welcome greetings for callers who contact the business. Also, this platform also records calls for quality and training purposes, provides reports and analytics on call activities and team performance, and much more.

Now that we’ve gotten that out of the way, pay attention – we’re getting to the best part. 

Naturally, if you’re a developer who works with clients/employers who need voice communication services — because there’s a lot of value if users can make calls within their website or apps —  PressOne should be on your radar.

But if they aren’t yet, they’ve launched something that will drive them straight into your toolkit.

Let’s get into it. 

Introducing the PressOne developer program

See, it’s simple. PressOne has created a suite of products, which include essential voice communication APIs and SDKs that software developers can build into their products and applications. 

Mayowa Okegbenle, CEO of PressOne Africa, best describes this program. He said, “Phone communication is an essential part of how we conduct business in Africa. Our Developer Program empowers the African tech community to easily embed world-class communication experiences into products that solve real-world problems.”

PressOne’s biggest promise with this program is that it provides the best integration tools to drive the use of voice communication systems in the continent. 

So, what does PressOne’s Developer Program offer?

  1. Virtual Phone Technology: This tool offers the same voice functions a mobile phone does. But the good thing is that you won’t need a phone or physical SIM cards, saving you time and money.
  2. Robust SDKs and APIS: The Developer Program gives you access to every documentation and piece of code to build and customise voice solutions tailored to your needs. 
  3. Voice OTP: User authentication is important, but receiving one-time passwords (OTPs) via text is not always 100% foolproof,  and it can be hard to track delivery and usage. But where can you find reliable voice-based OTPs? You’re reading about them right now—duh!
  4. Click-to-Call: Users can quickly call your business’ support team from the website or app in one click—no long, complex process.
  5. Automated Voice Notifications: This one is perfect for voice reminders, alerts and campaigns.

Who is this developer program for?

This is not an exhaustive list, but if you work in these industries, chances are you need this:

  1. On-demand services (food delivery, healthcare)
  2. Financial services
  3. E-commerce platforms
  4. Customer support applications, etc.
