About us

Built on ten years of listening to Uganda's market

A society that transacts, innovates and thrives based on data, not opinions.

Fortiemart Holdings Company Limited is a Ugandan data intelligence, market access and digital compliance company, founded in 2016 with offices in Kampala and Fort Portal.

We started by connecting buyers and sellers. Along the way we learned that the missing piece was trusted information, so we built a company around it: we collect data with consent, verify it, analyse it, and turn it into decisions, digital systems and trade.

We work with small businesses, farmers and exporters, city councils, development partners and community organisations. Every engagement starts with the client's own problem and their own data, and ends with a result they can measure.

How we work

Our values

Data, not opinionsEvery recommendation we make comes with the evidence behind it.
Consent firstWe collect personal data only with permission, store it safely and share only what people agree to.
Measured impactWe set the number before the work starts and report against it.
Partners lead their own workWe bring the problem and the data; partners decide how and when to act.
Our story

From a listing platform to a data company

It started with a simple frustration: needing a service or a product and not finding it in one trusted place. That desire pushed us to create Fortiemart, and in 2016 we began listing them. The missing piece was trusted information, so we built a company around it.
