The Story That Defined Our Year: AI That Works Where It Matters Most
If you’ve ever stood at the base of a 60-meter tower and watched a rigger climb with a heavy toolkit, you know this is not a job for the faint-hearted. Heat, rain, wind – they climb anyway.Â
Until recently, after reaching the top, they still had another battle:Â manually typing serial numbers, reading faded nameplates, correcting errors later, and sometimes even climbing again because a single mismatch triggered a data dispute.Â
This year, something changed.Â
One photo. Instant AI validation. Zero rework. Zero repeat climbs.Â
AI became a silent teammate, improving accuracy before data even enters the system.Â
Results followed – like the real-world gains Safaricom shared at TowerXchange Africa:Â
97%Â accuracy in asset verificationÂ
60%Â faster site auditsÂ
Near-zero manipulation in diesel hour capture across 4,300+ sitesÂ
For us, the achievement wasn’t just better data.Â
It was knowing that a rigger no longer must risk a second climb because a number was mistyped.Â
AI helped make their day safer, lighter, and more respected.Â
