Demfati is a software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform for ticketing, online voting and attendance management at public and private events.[1] Demfati also allows event organizers to promote and market their events on websites like Facebook, X, and Instagram. Founded in 2017 as Ocoms[2] in Calabar, Nigeria, the company rebranded to Demfati in 2020.[3] Its core services include event ticketing, custom event pages, online forms, voting modules and a digital wallet feature.[4][5] Demfati's revenue is derived from a fee placed upon transactions made through its software at 8% per transaction.[6]

Features
Demfati offers platforms to hold private, as well as public events online.[4] These include:
- Event pages: Each organizer can generate a customizable subdomain (e.g.,
myevent.demf.site
) to host event details. - e-Ticketing system
- Voting module for contests or award shows
- Forms
According to the platform guidebook, event listing is reserved for users who first list a business on the website.[7] This is intended to validate organizers and restrict impersonation or abuse.[7][8]
The site features a digital purse for users to use in paying for tickets or votes and, in certain instances, earn cashback per event.[5] Unlike most of its competitors, it does not yet offer reserved seating and ticket transfer.[9]
