Ocho Rios entrepreneur launches AI-powered business platform for Caribbean SMEs

Ocho Rios entrepreneur Kingsley Jair Harrison has developed SnapTap, an innovative AI-powered business platform that consolidates essential business functions into a single dashboard. This Jamaican-built solution aims to streamline operations for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) across the Caribbean and internationally.

I believe that was God’s plan because the firing actually pushed me to start my own business, Target Technologies and, for the past nine years, I’ve been juggling multiple apps, multiple software. It is very hectic for us as business professionals to truly grow a business when we have to use so many applications out there. So, that’s how the idea of SnapTap evolved.

Harrison, a digital distribution strategist, conceived SnapTap after experiencing the complexities of juggling multiple applications in his own entrepreneurial journey. "It is very hectic for us as business professionals to truly grow a business when we have to use so many applications out there. So, that’s how the idea of SnapTap evolved," he explained. The platform integrates networking, marketing, sales, payment collection, and customer management tools, replacing the need for up to nine separate apps.

We want business professionals, when they have an idea, to basically create a SnapTap account and they literally can start generating revenue opportunities right there and then.

Launched in 2024, SnapTap initially began as a digital business card but has since evolved into a comprehensive tool for entrepreneurs. "SnapTap brings everything you need to do business into one place," Harrison stated. Users can create a professional digital presence, list services, share contact information and social media links, and facilitate customer interactions, including orders and direct contact saving.
