We are a division of Twigs Naturals, an artisanal brand that grew from a local garden to an international exporter. We built Ajoupa Cloud Services because we needed a secure, compliant system to manage our own growth. It is a proven tool, not just an idea.
The Meaning of Ajoupa
The word 'Ajoupa' (pronounced a-joo-pa) is a historical term from the Caribbean. It refers to a simple, traditional dwelling—a secure, fundamental structure that provides reliable shelter and community gathering space. We chose the name because it perfectly reflects our mission: to be the secure, reliable digital 'home' for your small business, providing the essential structure needed for growth.
Twigs Naturals: The Operational Foundation
Twigs Naturals is a multi-award-winning artisanal brand. We have firsthand experience navigating the entire process: from sourcing raw materials from local farmers to managing international compliance and logistics. Our journey over the last decade taught us exactly where small businesses struggle—and what kind of software they actually need.
Result: We live the challenges of the Agri and Maker SME segments every day. This real-world knowledge is baked into every module of Ajoupa.
Philip Augustine Communications: The Tech Division
This is the ICT division of Twigs Naturals. Our multidisciplinary team has over twenty years of experience in ICT consultancy, network design, brand development, and digital strategy. We are Google for Education Sales Partners and focus on providing innovative solutions to meet the digitization needs of small and medium-sized enterprises.
Result: We combine deep business insight with enterprise-level technical expertise to deliver a secure, modern, cloud-based platform.
We saw a growing gap, or "digital divide," for small, micro, and nano businesses. They needed enterprise-grade tools but could not afford the complexity or the price tag. Our vision is to provide the necessary structure to help these businesses navigate their industry.
We don't just sell software. We sell capacity development. By giving you a digital home with standardized workflows, we make it easier for you to scale, train new staff, and finally compete with larger businesses.
Commitment: We are also proud to host international virtual internship programs and engage in CSR focused on sustainability and gender equality. We are committed to fostering young talent and positive community impact.
You don't just get code. You get a system that has been tested in a real-world, award-winning company. Because we built Ajoupa on global standards (GDPR, HIPAA, ISO) and Google Cloud infrastructure, you can trust that your data is secure and your records are compliant. We know what it takes to pass an audit and run a successful operation.
