Formed in 2016, beXel digitalize inspection companies and help them go paperless and complete tasks ten times faster. The startup’s platform automates the entire operational business of its customers.

“beXel was a normal software product until we decided to test the market.

We have seen amazing results in digital transformation,” said Ayman Abou Regeila, the startup’s founder and chief executive officer (CEO).

“That’s when we took the decision to be more focused and keep enhancing and developing further versions and updates.”

The focus beXel chose was on inspection services, which Regeila said was an underserved market.

“All over the world, oil and gas and construction companies run mega projects that span across different locations using thousands of types of industrial equipment on a daily basis.

Where did we get our fund from?

Self-funded, last year the company took part in – and secured some funding from – the Cairo-based Flat6Labs accelerator programme.

“Flat6Labs has moved us to another level, helping us get more exposed to a different world of investors, mentors and many more,” he said.

Now beXel that helps digitalize inspection companies is planning on expanding to a host of new markets within the Middle East and Africa region.

But Regeila is aware the startup will have to remain on its toes to keep up .

It is a new product and we have faced challenges in developing it to meet our customer requirements

But because we understand the business very well, we were able to build a very flexible dynamic solution for our customers.”
