Reach anyone in Ghana.
One code.
Type an address the way you'd say it — "adjacent Goil, Madina" works. Get a short code, share it on WhatsApp, and directions end at the gate — not somewhere in the area.
Move over the map — the hex code under your cursor lights up.
In Ghana, "Near the Blue Kiosk" Is Still an Address
A map point can be a building centre, while the usable entrance is on another street. Clear entrance details help visitors and delivery riders reach the right gate.
AfriHex — Addresses That Ship Revenue, Not Coverage Maps
Send coordinates, create an AfriHex code, and add the entrance details a grid cell cannot supply. Share a link that can be updated when the location or instructions change.

Every coordinate already has a code. Paste it into Shopify, WhatsApp, or a courier app and start shipping today.
Right-Sized Precision
Pick your zoom — a whole neighborhood for route planning, a single shopfront for last-mile pickup. Fewer re-delivery attempts for your riders or couriers.
Zero Lock-In Cost
Free and open-source, like PostgreSQL or Linux. No license fees, no patents, no vendor tax eating your margin.
Pan-African Scale
All of Ghana today. The code format is built on a global grid, so new countries need no new integration.
Every address tells you how sure we are
Other maps guess silently. AfriHex resolves each address against 17.9 million building footprints (OpenStreetMap and Google Open Buildings) and labels the result — so a bank, a courier, or a dispatcher knows what they're relying on before they rely on it.
Entrance recorded
A specific gate or door has been mapped. This identifies a location, not a resident or owner.
Building entrance
Snapped to the roadside edge of the actual building, so navigation ends at the gate side — not the middle of a compound.
Approximate area
The cell centre when no building is known. Honest about being approximate — never false confidence.
And directions speak Ghanaian — "adjacent Goil Filling Station" resolves, landmarks narrate the turns, okada is a first-class mode.
Every verification now issues a signed certificate
When a customer verifies an address, AfriHex issues a tamper-proof certificate — and anyone can check it's real. No accounts, no logins: open the link or scan the QR and see the truth in seconds.
Tamper-proof
Signed so it can’t be altered. What it says is what happened.
Honest about presence
Records whether the device was actually at the address — and flags it loudly if it wasn’t.
Verifiable by anyone
Banks, landlords, delivery riders — verify with a QR scan. No trust required.
Africa's Address Layer — Not a Global Afterthought
Other systems were built elsewhere and retrofitted for Africa. AfriHex is the only open, hierarchical address standard designed in Ghana, for Ghana — engineered to scale across all 54 African markets with zero license fees.
