The Story
Carpie is an award-winning web platform focused on the African legal sector. Its main goal is to provide simple and affordable access to legal information, with a constantly-growing database.
Its success relies on the community-oriented conception. Afriwise has signed agreements with over 100 law firms from 11 African countries, with more to come; and reunites their enormous legal knowledge into one platform, used by big European companies such as DHL, Deloitte, etc. on a daily basis.
Carpie has built a legal bridge between Africa and Europe. It creates an easy door for companies to know the different regulations, and stay informed on the ever-changing legal world. This web application is not only an updated database, but it also gives its clients the opportunity to consult a specific topic they’re interested in – resulting in a continuously evolving & growing platform.

Our Client
FELIX FORGSEN
Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries
The Challenge
Steven De Backer, founder, and CEO of Afriwise saw a problem in the market: hiring intermediaries for legal counseling was expensive and inefficient. Steven knew what the fast and effective solution would be, however, him and his legal team lacked the software knowledge to create this platform. The concept was clear, but they needed the tools and a team to help them design it and build it.
After contacting over 50 developing companies, Monterail was selected. We took the wheel and prepared a workshop that would adjust to the client’s expectations, using an MVP approach with a flexible scope, while communicating the ideas with little-to-no technical language.
Key challenges of the project included:
- Build an MVP product to fit a defined budget
- Establishing a large and flexible database that allows continuous expansion
- Create a product for a non-tech audience, with intuitive UX that facilitates access to information
