Market Launch on the platform
Invisible. As it should be.
The infrastructure gap

The revenue was always there.
The visibility never was.

Market fee revenue that belongs to your county, flowing through systems you cannot see or audit. Not because your markets are failing because the infrastructure to govern them has never existed at the scale your markets deserve.

πŸ“Š

Revenue you cannot see

Market fees collected in cash, logged in registers, reconciled by hand or not reconciled at all. No audit trail. No proof for your county assembly.

πŸ‘₯

Traders with no identity

Thousands of traders, farmers, and suppliers operating in your markets every day invisible to banks, invisible to lenders, invisible to the programmes designed to help them.

πŸ“‹

Programmes with no proof

Development finance programmes require verified market data to release funding. Without a digital record, your county cannot prove what its markets generate or claim what it is owed.

What changes

"Every shilling collected. Every trader verified. Every market visible. For the first time, the people who govern these markets can see exactly what they own and prove it to anyone who asks."

What every county director will say
Government-grade infrastructure

Built for the way governments actually work.

Not adapted for government. Built for it.

About Market Launch

Markets are critical
infrastructure.

Across Africa, physical markets remain the backbone of agricultural trade, local commerce, and economic activity. Millions of farmers, traders, transporters, wholesalers, retailers, and consumers depend on them every day.

Yet the systems used to manage these markets have changed very little.

Governments are expected to oversee infrastructure, collect revenues, support traders, improve services, and demonstrate economic impact. But many markets still operate through fragmented records, manual collections, disconnected processes, and limited visibility into what is actually happening on the ground.

The result is not a lack of activity. It is a lack of infrastructure.

Why Market Launch exists

Market Launch was built after years of working directly inside market systems. Through that work, one reality became clear: markets generate enormous economic value, but much of that value remains difficult to measure, manage, and support.

Governments often lack complete visibility into market operations, trader activity, infrastructure utilisation, revenue performance, and market growth. Traders and farmers frequently operate without a recognised economic identity. Development programmes struggle to access reliable information on outcomes and impact.

The challenge was never that markets lacked participants. The challenge was that markets lacked modern operating infrastructure. Market Launch was created to address that gap.

A different approach

Not a
Marketplace
Not an
Aggregator
Not a
Payment application

Market Launch is a white-labeled operating system for governments and market authorities.

The platform enables governments to manage markets, traders, farmers, associations, stalls, permits, revenues, infrastructure, and market performance through a single system that operates under their own authority and identity.

The government remains the institution citizens see
The government owns the relationships
The government owns the data

Built for real markets

Market Launch was designed around how markets actually operate. Many market participants rely on basic phones rather than smartphones. Connectivity is often inconsistent. Digital literacy varies significantly across locations.

The platform is designed to work across web, mobile, WhatsApp, SMS, and field-based operations.

The objective was not to force markets to change how they work. The objective was to provide infrastructure that works within the realities of existing market systems.

What Market Launch enables

βœ“ Manage market infrastructure and facilities
βœ“ Register traders, farmers, associations, and businesses
βœ“ Maintain market directories and digital identities
βœ“ Manage stalls, permits, and allocations
βœ“ Digitise fee and revenue collection
βœ“ Track market performance and activity
βœ“ Improve accountability and transparency
βœ“ Measure outcomes across markets and programmes

Built by Coamana

Market Launch is developed by Coamana. For years, Coamana has worked with governments, market associations, traders, farmers, agribusinesses, and development partners across African market systems.

That experience provided a unique view into how markets actually function, where bottlenecks exist, and what infrastructure is required to strengthen them. Market Launch is the result of those lessons.

Coamana does not build a marketplace or an aggregator. We offer the infrastructure layer that lets governments own and benefit from their own market data and revenue.

Looking ahead

We believe stronger markets create stronger communities.

As governments seek better ways to support trade, food systems, local businesses, and economic growth, market infrastructure will become increasingly important.

To help governments own, operate, and strengthen the market systems their economies depend on.
