Ubumi — The app for farmers and farm work
“Ubumi begins with a simple idea: a place's land, work and people belong together. That's why every property keeps its own history, every job finds the right person, and trust is earned through what people have actually done, not what is said about them.”
“The essence of living well.”
Ubumi · isiZulu
“Bringing beauty to life.”

The challenge
Stories are forgotten. Jobs go unfilled. Trust is a guess.
What happened on a piece of land lives in someone's memory. Jobs sit empty a few kilometres from people looking for work. Employers hire blind. Ubumi is built on three pillars that close these gaps.
01
A place with a memory
The problem
Every property has a story: the work that was done, the people who did it, the seasons it has seen. Yet almost none of it is written down, and year by year it quietly fades away.
With Ubumi
Every field, plot or house gets its own page on the map. Every task, job and harvest done there stays in its history for good.
02
Finding work
The problem
Most jobs are still passed on by word of mouth. If you are not in the right circle you never hear about them, and the pay is often a surprise.
With Ubumi
Work no longer depends on who you know. See every job near you and what it pays before you apply, and build your reputation.
03
Finding professionals
The problem
When a job needs doing, you call around and hope. You rarely know who is reliable before they turn up.
With Ubumi
Post a job and choose from workers close to your site. Each one has a verified history and rating, so you know who you hire.
Four roles, one account
Switch roles, not apps
You start as a User, with your tasks, fields and the marketplace. When you are ready, turn on Worker or Employer, with Facility coming soon, and move between them straight from your home screen. Each role shows you only the screens you need.
User
Keep your to-dos in one place and assign tasks to other people, map your fields, plots and houses on GPS, and buy or sell directly on the marketplace.
In the app
- Tasks
- Market
- Fields
Platform features
Technology that works where the work is
User
Mapped fields and properties
Drop a pin or draw the outline of a field, plot or house. The area is measured for you, and each site keeps its own weather and history.
Marketplace and insights
Buy, sell, bid, and track shipments with profit margin tools and real-time pricing analytics.
Tasks you can assign
Break work into tasks and subtasks, assign them to other people, and see everything you sent and received in one list.
Worker
Find work
See jobs within 5–50 km of you, with the pay shown upfront, and apply to the ones that suit you.
Shift calendar
All your shifts in one calendar, so you always know when and where you are working.
Courses and certifications
Watch short video courses by topic or institution and earn a certification that shows up on your profile when employers review you.
Employer
Fields you manage
Owners assign their fields to you by email. You see them alongside your own, grouped by owner, and organise the work on each one.
Post jobs
Put up a job with its pay and date and reach workers who are close to your site.
Your people
Choose from applicants with a verified work history and rating, and keep everyone who works with you in one place.
For everyone
In every role, for every user
Reliability scoring
Workers and employers rate each other after every job, so good work shows on both sides.
Offline-first design
Critical data caches locally and syncs when connectivity returns, built for remote sites and patchy networks.
In 10 languages
Greek, English, Albanian, Romanian, Arabic, Urdu, Bengali, Sinhala, Afrikaans and Zulu, so everyone can work in their own language.
