Heirs Technologies, a subsidiary of the Heirs Holdings Group, has secured accreditation from the Nigeria Revenue Service (NRS) as a System Integrator for the Federal Government’s mandatory e-Invoicing regime, positioning the firm among the authorised partners supporting business compliance under the Merchant Buyer Solution framework.

The accreditation, published in the NRS-approved service providers directory, enables the company to connect corporate invoicing platforms to the national e-Invoicing infrastructure for invoice validation, secure data exchange, and automated regulatory reporting — key elements of ongoing tax administration reforms.

The federal government’s e-Invoicing policy is a core revenue-assurance initiative designed to curb leakages, promote transparency, and strengthen compliance across major sectors. With implementation gaining speed, more businesses are now required to align their invoicing processes with the NRS model.

Commenting on the development, Chief Technology and Innovation Officer of Heirs Technologies, George Njuguna, stressed that e-Invoicing should be regarded as a comprehensive compliance obligation rather than a routine IT upgrade.

He said, “E-Invoicing is fundamentally a compliance requirement that spans finance, tax, operations, and technology. Successful implementation requires robust system integration and a clear understanding of regulatory and tax obligations.”

Njuguna added that the company is leveraging its digital transformation and integration capabilities, in collaboration with tax experts, to deliver solutions that meet both technical and regulatory standards.

As an accredited System Integrator, Heirs Technologies will provide end-to-end support, including readiness assessments, integration services, validation, and post-deployment technical assistance. Its systems are designed to integrate seamlessly with existing ERP and accounting platforms to minimise operational disruption.

Beyond its role in the national e-Invoicing rollout, the company continues to broaden its offerings in cloud infrastructure, enterprise integration, cybersecurity, managed services, data and artificial intelligence, software licensing, and digital transformation advisory.

Heirs Technologies said the accreditation further underscores its commitment to helping organisations navigate Nigeria’s evolving regulatory and digital landscape.

A new industry report by Heirs Technologies, a leading digital transformation company in Africa, has called for urgent and coordinated investments to unlock the continent’s projected $700 billion digital economy by 2030.

The report, titled Africa’s Digital Leap: Cloud, Connectivity & AI in the Next Decade, highlights the vast potential of Africa’s digital future but warns of the consequences if key gaps are not addressed.

According to the report, without sustained infrastructure investment, regulatory alignment, and talent development, Africa risks missing out on the next wave of global digital growth.

Although Africa is home to 19 per cent of the world’s population, the report notes that the continent currently hosts less than one per cent of global data centre capacity. This represents what Heirs Technologies describes as “a critical gap in digital infrastructure.”

The report also reveals that 55 per cent of African enterprises now run more than half their workloads in the cloud, with 17 per cent operating as fully cloud-native businesses. Southern and West Africa are identified as leaders in adoption, while North Africa lags due to infrastructure limitations and regulatory challenges.

Artificial intelligence is another key focus area. The study values Africa’s AI market at $4.5 billion and estimates that it could contribute up to $2.9 trillion to Africa’s GDP by 2030. This growth is being driven by increasing AI adoption across sectors such as agriculture, healthcare, financial services, and education.

Infrastructure initiatives such as the 2Africa subsea cable and more than 211 active data centres are seen as essential to improving connectivity and supporting the continent’s cloud-driven future. Additionally, the report states that between 2019 and the first quarter of 2025, African AI startups raised $1.25 billion in funding. Nigeria, South Africa, Kenya, and Egypt accounted for 87 per cent of that total.

Speaking at the report’s unveiling, Obong Idiong, Chief Executive Officer of Heirs Technologies, emphasised the urgency for coordinated action among governments, investors, and businesses.

“Africa is not at the edge of a digital leap; we are already mid-flight,” Idiong said. “The next decade will be defined not only by the technologies we embrace but by how boldly and inclusively we implement them. At Heirs Technologies, we are committed to enabling Africa’s digital transformation, but this journey belongs to all of us.”

The 38-page report offers an in-depth analysis of Africa’s digital economy, benchmarking regional trends in cloud adoption, policy readiness, and investment activity. It aims to serve as a roadmap for governments, investors, and businesses to position Africa as a global digital powerhouse.
