UzobestGSM
Telecom wholesale VTU platform for resellers and agents
UzobestGSM is a telecommunications wholesale and VTU platform in Nigeria — offering cheap data, airtime, cable TV (DStv, GOtv, Startimes), electricity bill payments, bulk SMS, and educational PINs. ScalerDev built the web platform at uzobestgsm.com and the Android mobile app, serving resellers and end users with wallet funding, secure PIN transactions, and developer API access.
Business objective
Build a reseller-focused VTU platform with web and mobile presence — agent onboarding, discounted telecom products, affiliate website support, and documented API for developers.
The problem
