About Backmi

Making honest work count.

In Ghana, most hiring of house helps, drivers, guards and artisans still runs on a phone call to someone who knows someone. Good workers start from zero at every new job. Households and companies take a leap of faith. Backmi is here to change that, fairly.

What we believe

Four rules we build by.

The worker owns the profile

It's about them, so they decide who sees it. No searching, no browsing, no selling lists of people.

Only what others confirm counts

Self-reported claims score zero. Every point traces back to a person or an institution and a date.

A work profile, not a social score

Backmi is about work: identity, past jobs, clearances. Nothing about who you know, what you post or where you pray.

Mistakes get fixed

Anything on a profile can be questioned and re-checked. Being on Backmi should never trap anyone.

Who we are

Built in Ghana by ModularPath Systems.

ModularPath Systems is a Ghanaian software company. We also build KayyaX for vendors and deliveries, ClassAddmin for schools and AsaaseYaa for farmers. Backmi grew out of the same question: how do you make trust easier where paperwork is thin?
