Demfati is a software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform for ticketing, online voting and attendance management at public and private events.[1] Demfati also allows event organizers to promote and market their events on websites like Facebook, X, and Instagram. Founded in 2017 as Ocoms[2] in Calabar, Nigeria, the company rebranded to Demfati in 2020.[1] Its core services include event ticketing, custom event pages, online forms, voting modules and a digital wallet feature.[1][3] Demfati's revenue is derived from a fee placed upon transactions made through its software at 8% per transaction.[4][5]
Features
[edit | edit source]Demfati offers platforms to hold private, as well as public events online.[1][5]
According to the platform guidebook, event listing is reserved for users who first list a business on the website.[6] This is intended to validate organizers and restrict impersonation or abuse.[6][7]
The site features a digital purse for users to use in paying for tickets or votes and, in certain instances, earn cashback per event.[5][3] Unlike most of its competitors, it does not yet offer reserved seating and ticket transfer.[8]
Reception
[edit | edit source]- In 2023, Emmanuel Ekunke was nominated in the top Nigerian UNDER 30 category of The Founder of The Year Awards (FOYA) held in Kenya.[9]
- In July 2025, Techpoint Africa reported that Demfati's subdomain branding and WhatsApp ticket-sale integration reduced marketing barriers for small planners.[10]
- The Pathway News noted the platform's growth trajectory in Nigeria and highlighted its role in digitizing ticket sales for community events.[11]
