Data intelligence · Market access · Digital compliance
Data, not opinions.
We collect, verify and analyse Ugandan business, farmer and community data, then turn it into insights, digital systems and market linkages that help people decide and trade with confidence.
Since 2016Offices in Kampala and Fort Portal
Our vision
A society that transacts, innovates and thrives based on data, not opinions.
Our mission
To collect, verify and turn Uganda's business and community data into insight, trusted digital markets and compliance, so that more people trade online, safely, and every decision can be measured.
Why now
Uganda has the phones and the money. What is missing is trust and relevant data.
Most Ugandans own a phone and use mobile money, yet few use the internet to grow their income. Small businesses cannot prove who they are to new buyers, and fraud keeps people offline. Fortiemart closes that gap with verified data and a marketplace people can trust.
