Otieno Builds: Is the site making profit or just moving money?

A construction demo showing how ClariFi turns scattered project records into cash-flow visibility, supplier discipline, and lender-ready insights.

Kazi iko, lakini pesa haikai. Client anachelewa kulipa, fundi anataka pesa leo, supplier anataka balance.

Translation: There is work, but money does not stay. The client delays payment, the worker wants money today, and the supplier wants their balance.
