Gankpo is published by PERO GROUPE SARL.
A Beninese IT service company, registered in 2016, with ten years of experience supporting the information systems of public institutions, enterprises, and SaaS publishers across the African continent.
A rooted project
Gankpo is a project launched in 2024 within PERO GROUPE SARL, as a direct extension of the expertise the company has built since 2016. Its teams observed, project after project — whether for public institutions, companies, international funders, or local SaaS publishers — a common gap: the absence of an institutional-grade software trust infrastructure, designed on the continent, for all of its actors.
Gankpo therefore addresses at once public institutions that must seal sovereign records, companies that must produce evidentiary documents, SaaS publishers who integrate a trust building block into their platform, and citizens who manage their own identity credentials.
