The Covid-19 pandemic accelerated the development of this young startup, which was exploring the Togolese market to provide digital solutions for the event industry. Since then, it has steadily grown and has been involved in over 150 events since its launch.

Klumer, a digital solution developed by Eods Communication, allows users to purchase event tickets online from their computer or smartphone. The startup, based in Lomé, was founded in 2018 by Fiacre Dagbegnon.

"Klumer is an event platform with a complete ecosystem designed to provide optimal support to event organizers in achieving their audience targeting goals," says the startup.

The application is available on both iOS and Android and has already been downloaded over a thousand times, according to Play Store statistics. After downloading, users create an account to access Klumer's services. Besides the e-Ticket service, which functions as an online ticketing system allowing users to purchase tickets for various events directly through the Klumer platform, the startup also offers e-Voting, e-Collect, and e-Score services.

As the names suggest, e-Voting enables the organization of online votes with a single click; e-Collect helps conduct transparent fundraising and social donations; and e-Scoring facilitates the management of competitive events with a digital scoreboard.

"Klumer was developed following Facebook and Instagram’s style. Today, we have nothing to envy from what developers in Silicon Valley have achieved in social network development. The only difference is in their logistics, which we do not yet have," Fiacre Dagbegnon told local business media Togo First in February 2023.

The Togolese startup boasts over 810,000 users and has covered more than 150 events since its launch. It was selected, along with nine other Togolese startups, to participate in the second edition of the Gitex Africa technology fair in Marrakech, Morocco, from May 29 to 31.
