Smartflow braces for international expansion, celebrates decade in Nigeria

To commemorate its tenth-year anniversary, Smartflow Technologies, a foremost provider of automation services in Nigeria’s downstream oil and gas sector has announced the intention of moving into other African and international countries.

At the annual Oil Trading and Logistics (OTL) Africa Downstream Week, the continent’s leading oil and gas exhibition, Smartflow technology demonstrated how its suite of products and services have grown in the last 10 years and what its subsequent expansion plans are.

“In the next ten years, we plan on expanding our operations to other African countries, I also envision Smartflow in other countries outside of Africa,” Dolapo Adeyeye, founder at Smartflow Technologies said.

Founded by Dolapo Adeyeye in 2009, Smartflow has risen to become the silent force behind many oil and gas players and large consumers of petroleum products; their suite of services have not only helped monitor activities on the forecourt and in storage facilities, they also ensure aviation oil marketers, farms, and manufacturing plants  get value for their money.

Part sponsors of the OTL Africa Conference which held on 28 – 30 October 2019 at the Oriental Hotel in Lagos with over 3000 delegates, speakers, exhibitors and special guests; Smartflow has grown from humble beginnings to having offices in Lagos, Abuja, Port Harcourt and Kano.

Speaking with journalists at the OTL expo, Dolapo Adeyeye said “all of our products are inspired by the commitment to provide accurate solutions to real customer needs. Everything we do at Smartflow Technologies is done with the mindset of solving a problem or fixing a difficult situation. So when we listen to our customers and hear some of the challenges they’ll face, we on our part have to analyse, understand and create a product that will solve it, which is where we get our inspiration from.”

Adeyeye started Smartflow as a response to a gap he spotted whilst he was working with Bristow. He sought to help his clients explore better ways of working in the oil and gas sector and to make the downstream sector much more digital in its operations, and to provide players in the sector with a lot more information and data at their fingertips using technology.

Smartflow manufactures in its Lagos office, have partnered with several Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM)  in the oil and gas industry including GilbercoVedeeroot, Nivelco, GIR France, Graco, Wolftank amongst others.

The company’s clients include Berger, Cadbury, Dangote, Conoil, Total, Exon Mobil, Forte, Nigerian Breweries, Okomu oil palm among others.
