The Client & Business Challenge

StarCall Phones is a fast-growing consumer device financing provider in Nairobi enabling customers to purchase smartphones (Samsung, Tecno, Infinix, Redmi) on daily micro-instalment plans.

To accelerate growth, StarCall invested heavily in citywide billboard marketing campaigns across Nairobi. They required a mobile web platform capable of handling high-volume traffic surges from billboard scans, instantly calculating repayment schedules, and capturing customer financing applications without crashing or dropping leads.

The HarLyn Engineered Solution

HarLyn Digital Partners designed and engineered a custom Next.js web application and back-office management dashboard:

  • Pre-rendered static Next.js architecture ensuring instant page loads across 3G/4G/5G mobile connections.
  • Interactive daily instalment repayment calculator dynamically displaying deposit requirements.
  • Automated application capture pipeline with atomic database ledgering in PostgreSQL.

The Measured Business Outcome

The platform delivered 100% uptime through marketing surges, enabling StarCall Phones to convert billboard traffic into verified financing customers without losing a single application to server timeouts.
