Système de Facturation Électronique Certifié · the national platform modernising tax collection, certified invoicing and real-time fiscal compliance in the Republic of Congo.
Congo needed a national electronic fiscal system to modernise tax collection, ensure compliance, and track every commercial transaction in real time · without disrupting the millions of operations that ride on it daily.
The mandate was unforgiving: build the platform end-to-end (architecture, security, software, hardware integration), deploy it across all fiscal zones, and meet international standards for certified invoicing · in 24 months.
We designed and built SFEC as a single, defensible platform · every layer engineered by the Akieni team, from PKI to UI.
Technology choices were made on operability and longevity · Go for the backend hot paths, Postgres for state, Kubernetes for orchestration, hardware-backed keys for the PKI.
Measured outcomes for the Ministry of Finance and, indirectly, every taxpayer and operator in the country.
National rollout across every fiscal zone in the country.
Live compliance monitoring of every certified transaction.
Material reductions in fraud and revenue leakage.
