HOW IT WORKS
Two Layers. One System.
Layer 1 — For Commuters
We provide free, real-time route information through WhatsApp.
Commuters can quickly find routes, directions, and options using a simple chat interface.
Layer 2 — For Cities & Institutions
Every route query helps build a live picture of how people move.
We turn this data into insights for municipalities, universities, and planners.
Route Information, via WhatsApp
No apps. No learning curve.
Commuters simply send a message and get:
-
Available routes
-
Direction guidance
-
Fare estimation
Built for accessibility on any mobile device.
Every Search Tells a Story
Each commuter interaction contributes to a growing dataset of real movement patterns—revealing how transport systems actually function day-to-day.
Turning Movement Into Insight
We analyze commuter queries and route activity to provide:
Demand Signals
Where people are trying to go—and when.
Route Visibility
Which routes are actively used, including informal networks.
Service Gaps
Where demand exists but transport options fall short.
Network Pressure
Which corridors and nodes are overloaded.
Infrastructure Intelligence Dashboard
A clear view of real-world transport activity.
-
Node load and congestion levels
-
High-demand corridors
-
Route coverage and gaps
-
Movement heatmaps across the network

IMPROVE THE SYSTEM.
Instead of relying on incomplete or outdated data, Annem builds transport intelligence directly from commuter behavior.
This means:
-
More accurate planning
-
Better infrastructure investment
-
Transport systems that reflect real needs

Durban-Built Infrastructure Intelligence
Built in Durban for Real Transport Systems
Born in Durban, Annem is a response to the unseen complexities of South African urban mobility. We bridge the visibility gap in public transport through infrastructure-aware data systems. By grounding futuristic city intelligence in real-world infrastructure problems, we provide municipalities and planners with the visibility needed for long-term equity and efficiency. We are building the digital nervous system for South African cities—ensuring that every node and commuter route contributes to a smarter planning future.
Start with the Commuter. Scale to the City.
