Engineering & software
Engineering. Software. Impact.
A technology-driven engineering and software company — combining European engineering methodology with deep local market understanding.
What we do
We design and build the systems organizations depend on — from architecture through to working software.
System architecture
Designing the structure of technical systems: components, boundaries, data flows and the decisions that determine whether a system can grow.
Scalable platform solutions
Platforms built to carry additional services, users and integrations without being rebuilt each time requirements expand.
Applied digitalization
Turning existing operational processes into software that fits how the work is actually done, rather than forcing the work to fit the tool.
Data processing & analysis
Acquisition, processing and integrated interpretation of technical datasets, including geospatial and multi-sensor sources.
Where we work
Our engagements span software platforms and applied technical systems.
Custom software development
Software designed around a specific operational problem, built and delivered as a working system rather than a prototype.
Digital platforms
Multi-service platforms that bundle several offerings behind one coherent experience — see Jiny.
Geospatial & remote-sensing systems
Multi-sensor survey systems combining aeromagnetics, hyperspectral imaging and LiDAR — see our UAV exploration work.
Process digitization
Application-oriented digitalization of operational and administrative processes.
If your requirement sits close to but not squarely within these areas, tell us what you need — we will say plainly whether it is something we can do well.
Selected work
Two representative systems. Each page describes the architecture and methodology involved.
Digital infrastructure
Jiny
An integrated multi-service platform bringing together mobility, digital wallet services, delivery, local services, real estate and safety functions in one ecosystem — developed by ECOTRAS.

UAV-Based Mining Exploration
A multi-sensor unmanned aerial system for geophysical survey and gold exploration, combining aeromagnetics, hyperspectral imaging and survey-grade LiDAR.

How we work
A structured sequence, so that decisions are made in the right order and nothing important is discovered late.
Understand the problem
We start with the operational reality — constraints, existing systems, and what success actually looks like for the people who will use the result.
Design the architecture
Components, boundaries and data flows are decided deliberately and written down before implementation begins.
Build and integrate
Implementation proceeds against the agreed architecture, integrating with the systems and data sources already in place.
Validate and hand over
The system is tested against the original requirement, documented, and handed over in a state someone else can maintain.
How we engineer
The principles we hold ourselves to. This website is built to the same ones.
Accessible by default
Keyboard navigation, correct semantics, visible focus and sufficient contrast are part of the build, not a later audit.
Secure by configuration
HTTPS everywhere, a tested content-security policy, and no secrets in client-side code.
Fast on real networks
We optimise for the connections people actually have, not for a benchmark on office fibre.
Maintainable
Reproducible builds, version control, documented deployment and a rehearsed rollback path.
About ECOTRAS
ECOTRAS is a technology-driven engineering and software company with a focus on system architecture, scalable platform solutions, and application-oriented digitalization. Our unique selling proposition lies in the combination of European engineering methodology and deep local market understanding.
EcoTras was founded by Moulaye Ely OULD EL YEZID, a German-Mauritanian entrepreneur who lived and worked in Germany for 25 years. The company connects German professional and engineering experience with deep knowledge of Mauritania and West Africa.
We work across software platforms and applied technical systems, bringing structured engineering method to problems that are usually solved ad hoc.
Based inNouakchott, Mauritania
