## Content

## In short
Totlesoft, a startup launched in 2024, says it has grown to over 2,000 users.

The company is positioning itself as one platform for work distribution, commerce, and research tools.

## What happened
Founder Chris Agholor says Totlesoft was built to solve an access problem, not a talent problem.

The platform targets people across Africa who can do remote work, but get blocked by platform restrictions, weak infrastructure, or trust issues that lead to workarounds like VPNs.

Totlesoft combines three product lines.

First is a job and task distribution system for micro-tasks, meaning small paid online jobs such as content moderation, social media evaluation, and rating tasks.

Second is a marketplace where businesses and creators can list physical and digital products.

That marketplace includes an affiliate engine, meaning users can promote listings and earn commissions if they drive sales.

Third is a research layer that lets organisations run surveys, recruit participants, and collect data.

It includes geographic targeting and AI-assisted matching, which means software helps pair a survey with the most relevant participants.

## Why it matters
African talent often sits outside the tools that global companies use to hire, run micro-task work, or gather user research.

By putting gigs, selling, and research in one system, Totlesoft is trying to reduce fragmentation, where users jump between multiple platforms to earn, transact, and prove reliability.

If the model works at scale, it could create a clearer pipeline from small tasks to longer-term work, and from local data collection to paid research projects.

It also adds another contender to the continent’s growing [HR & Talent](/categories/hr-talent) software landscape, alongside more traditional job marketplaces like [Jobberman](/jobberman).
