Unovia Technologies has officially launched Lana, Africa’s first AI-powered workspace management platform built for coworking spaces, gyms, and shortlet apartments.

Designed to solve the everyday operational challenges faced by modern facility managers, Lana provides a centralized system for managing memberships, tracking payments, controlling access, monitoring usage, and automating administrative workflows—all from a single intelligent dashboard.

At its core, Lana combines AI-powered automation with practical business tools, enabling operators to move away from manual record-keeping and fragmented systems. The platform includes:

• Real-time payment tracking and subscription management
• Smart access control and attendance monitoring
• Integrated identity verification (KYC) for enhanced security
• Automated renewal reminders and revenue tracking
• Centralized dashboards for full operational visibility

With these capabilities, businesses can reduce revenue leakage, improve accountability, and scale operations efficiently without increasing administrative workload.

Speaking on the launch, Pal Wabuson, Founder of Unovia Technologies, said:

“Most businesses don’t lose money because they lack customers—they lose money because they lack systems. Lana is our answer to that. We didn’t just build software, we built an intelligent system that gives business owners full visibility, control, and structure over their operations.”

He added:

“From coworking spaces to gyms to shortlet apartments, Lana is designed to work like a digital operations manager—tracking payments, managing access, verifying identities, and helping businesses run smarter, not harder.”

Lana is tailored specifically for the African market, where many businesses still rely on manual processes or disconnected tools. By digitizing and automating these operations, Unovia Technologies aims to help businesses run more efficiently while delivering a better customer experience.

Early adopters are already seeing measurable improvements in how they manage their operations.

House 12 Coworking Space shared:

“Before Lana, managing members and tracking payments was stressful and sometimes inaccurate. Now everything is automated and clear—we can see who is active, who needs renewal, and who has access in real time.”

A representative from De Apartment, a shortlet accommodation provider, added:

“Identity verification and access control used to be a major concern for us. Lana has completely changed that. It gives us confidence and structure in how we manage guests.”

Lana is now available to businesses across Africa, with a simple onboarding process designed for both small and large operators.
