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. [3] Its core services include event ticketing, custom event pages, online forms, voting modules and a digital wallet feature. [4] [5] Demfati's revenue is derived from a fee placed upon transactions made through its software at 8% per transaction. [6]

Features

Demfati offers platforms to hold private, as well as public events online. [4] These include:

According to the platform guidebook, event listing is reserved for users who first list a business on the website. [7] This is intended to validate organizers and restrict impersonation or abuse. [7] [8]

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] Unlike most of its competitors, it does not yet offer reserved seating and ticket transfer. [9]
