Comment: The only independent (secondary) source in this article appears to be Techpoint Africa. Better sources are needed. The others are not independent (press releases of different lengths). Additionally, no changes have been made since Qcne declined this draft with similar concerns. -- Reconrabbit 19:23, 21 July 2025 (UTC)

Demfati is a Nigerian event‐technology company headquartered in Calabar. It offers a software-as-a-service platform for ticketing, online voting and attendance management at public and private events. Founded in August 2017 as Ocoms, the company rebranded to Demfati in 2020 and incorporated under that name in 2022. Its core services include custom event pages, form-based voting modules and a digital wallet feature.[1][2][3]
History
[edit]- 2017: Emmanuel Ekunke, Clement Donatus and Gracious Ekunke launch Ocoms, initially targeting student-focused learning tools.
- 2020: The platform is renamed Demfati to reflect an expanded focus on event technology.[4]
- 2022: Demfati Ltd. is legally incorporated in Calabar to scale its SaaS offerings nationwide.
Products and services
[edit]Demfati offers platforms to hold private, as well as public events online. These include:
- Event pages: Each organizer can generate a customizable subdomain (e.g.,
myevent.demf.site) to host event details. - e-Ticketing system
- Voting module for contests or award shows
- Forms
According to the platform guidebook, event listing is reserved for users who first list a business on the website. This is intended to validate organizers and restrict impersonation or abuse.[1]
The site features a digital purse for users to use in paying for tickets or votes and, in certain instances, earn cashback per event.[2]
Reception
[edit]- In July 2025, Techpoint Africa reported that Demfati’s subdomain branding and WhatsApp ticket-sale integration reduced marketing barriers for small planners.[5]
- The Pathway News noted the platform’s growth trajectory in Nigeria and highlighted its role in digitizing ticket sales for community events.[6]
- According to WePlayVibes, several Nigerian pageants and university event planners adopted Demfati’s voting system for increased transparency.[7]
