Web & App Development
Custom websites, PWAs, and enterprise mobile applications.
The timeline for building a custom web application typically ranges from 4 to 12 weeks, depending on the complexity of the project. A basic corporate website or landing page might take 2-4 weeks, while a full-fledged enterprise SaaS platform with custom authentication, databases, and third-party integrations (like M-Pesa or KRA eTIMS) can take 8-12 weeks. We follow an agile process, providing you with weekly demos on a staging URL so you can see progress in real-time.
Yes, absolutely. We specialize in building offline-first PWAs (Progressive Web Apps). These applications can be installed directly on a user's smartphone (Android and iOS) from the browser, bypassing the App Store. By leveraging service workers and IndexedDB, we ensure that your app continues to function seamlessly even when the internet connection drops—a crucial feature for retail and field-service applications in Kenya.
We utilize a modern, high-performance tech stack. For the frontend, we primarily use Next.js (React) and TailwindCSS to deliver lightning-fast, SEO-optimized user experiences. For the backend, we use Node.js, Firebase, Supabase, and Cloudflare Workers, ensuring our systems scale effortlessly. We also build cross-platform mobile apps using React Native.
Yes. As part of our comprehensive web development packages, we handle the entire deployment pipeline. We assist with domain registration (including .co.ke and .ke domains), configure DNS settings, and host your application on secure, globally distributed platforms like Vercel, AWS, or Cloudflare. All our hosted applications come with free automatic SSL certificates.
Yes, SEO is built into our development process from day one. By utilizing Next.js, we ensure Server-Side Rendering (SSR) for blazing-fast load times. We implement schema markup (JSON-LD), automated dynamic sitemaps, canonical tags, and Open Graph metadata. This ensures your platform ranks highly on Google and displays rich preview cards when shared on WhatsApp, Facebook, or X (Twitter).
You retain 100% ownership of the intellectual property and source code upon final payment. Throughout the development phase, the source code is hosted on a private GitHub repository that you have full access to. There are no vendor lock-ins with our custom development services.
M-Pesa & Payment Gateways
Safaricom Daraja API, STK Push, C2B webhooks, and B2C integration.
We integrate M-Pesa using the Safaricom Daraja API. Our process involves securely connecting your platform to Safaricom's servers. We set up STK Push (Lipa Na M-Pesa Online) for immediate checkout prompts, C2B webhooks for listening to Paybill/Till number payments, and B2C/B2B APIs for automated disbursements. We handle all the encryption, authentication, and error handling natively.
M-Pesa STK Push triggers a pop-up on the customer's phone prompting them to enter their PIN to complete a transaction. It is perfect for e-commerce checkouts. C2B (Customer to Business) allows customers to manually go to their M-Pesa menu, enter your Paybill/Till number, and make a payment. We set up C2B Webhooks (URLs) on your server that Safaricom pings whenever a payment is received, allowing your system to instantly update the user's balance.
While Safaricom issues the actual Paybill or Till numbers, we guide you through the application process. We advise you on the required KRA PINs, business registration documents (CR12), and bank details needed. Once you receive the shortcode, we handle the technical Daraja API portal setup, going live process, and application creation on your behalf.
Yes! While M-Pesa is dominant locally, businesses targeting a global audience require international gateways. We seamlessly integrate Stripe, PayPal, Flutterwave, and Paystack. This allows your platform to accept Visa, Mastercard, Apple Pay, and Google Pay securely, ensuring you never miss a sale from an international client.
Security is our top priority. We use environment variables for all consumer keys and secrets. We implement Safaricom's strict mutual TLS (mTLS) requirements, generate secure OAuth access tokens that expire dynamically, and ensure all webhook endpoints are secured. We also log every transaction attempt in a secure database to prevent double-spending or missed payments.
M-Pesa B2C (Business to Customer) allows your company to automatically disburse funds to multiple individuals instantly. We integrate this into payroll systems or bulk payment portals. With a single click, your HR or finance manager can send salaries, allowances, or dividends to hundreds of employees simultaneously, with automatic generation of payment reconciliation reports.
KRA, eTIMS & eCitizen
Tax automation, eTIMS compliance, and eCitizen service integration.
Yes, we provide end-to-end integration of the KRA eTIMS (Electronic Tax Invoice Management System) API. If you have a custom ERP, POS, or invoicing system, we write the middleware that transmits your sales data directly to KRA in real-time. This ensures absolute compliance, automatically generating valid QR codes and eTIMS receipt numbers on your digital invoices.
We build custom portals that aggregate your sales, expenses, and payroll data, applying the correct VAT, PAYE, and Withholding Tax formulas. While the final return often requires a manual push on the iTax portal, our systems export perfectly formatted CSVs and Excel sheets tailored exactly to the KRA iTax upload templates, saving your accountants hundreds of hours.
Yes, through our Cyber Services division, we assist clients with navigating the eCitizen portal. This includes Business Name Search and Registration (BRS), CR12 generation, NTSA vehicle transfers, Good Conduct applications, and Passport/ID tracking. We provide guided consultancy to ensure your applications are not rejected due to technicalities.
Our software architectures are highly modular. When the Finance Act changes VAT rates, housing levies, or NHIF/SHIF deductions, our systems are built with configurable tax brackets. We deploy updates securely over-the-air, ensuring your payroll or POS system is compliant with the latest Kenyan laws without requiring a complete system rebuild.
Absolutely. We configure our custom Point of Sale software to communicate with eTIMS via the KRA API or VSDC software. Once a sale is finalized, the system fetches the KRA signature and prints it directly onto your thermal receipts, complete with the required KRA QR code.
Yes, we strictly adhere to the guidelines set by the Office of the Data Protection Commissioner (ODPC) in Kenya. We encrypt all Personally Identifiable Information (PII) at rest and in transit, implement secure user consent flows, and ensure your system has robust data deletion mechanisms (the right to be forgotten), keeping you completely legally compliant.
Custom SaaS Systems
Enterprise dashboards, CRM, ERP, and bespoke software solutions.
SaaS stands for Software as a Service. Instead of buying off-the-shelf software that only does 70% of what you need, a custom SaaS system is tailored exactly to your business logic. Whether it's a custom CRM for a real estate firm, a logistics tracking dashboard, or a school management system, we build platforms that streamline your unique operational bottlenecks.
Yes. We build intelligent WhatsApp Omnichannel solutions using microservices (like Baileys or WhatsApp Cloud API). We can configure your CRM to automatically send WhatsApp invoices, payment reminders, or appointment confirmations. We can also build interactive chatbots that handle level-1 customer support directly on WhatsApp 24/7.
Yes, every enterprise application we build includes Role-Based Access Control (RBAC). We can define specific permissions for Admins, Managers, Cashiers, and Clients. For example, a cashier can ring up sales but cannot view the overall profit margins, while an admin can view analytics and audit logs.
We utilize managed cloud databases (like Firebase Firestore or Supabase PostgreSQL) that feature automated daily backups and Point-in-Time Recovery (PITR). In the event of data corruption or accidental deletion, we can restore your database to any specific second from the past 7 days.
Yes, data migration is a standard part of our onboarding process. We write secure scripts to parse your legacy Excel (XLSX), CSV, or old SQL databases, clean the data, map it to the new schema, and inject it into your new custom dashboard without any data loss.
Absolutely. We have extensive experience building Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems for logistics. These include modules for fleet management, driver payroll, fuel tracking, route optimization, and client invoicing. By digitizing these processes, you can stop relying on scattered WhatsApp messages and spreadsheets, achieving a unified, real-time view of your operations.
Yes, we develop scalable multi-vendor e-commerce platforms. These systems include distinct dashboards for the admin, individual sellers/vendors, and customers. We integrate split-payment mechanisms using M-Pesa or Stripe so that when a customer buys a product, your platform automatically deducts its commission and forwards the rest to the vendor's wallet.
Absolutely. If you need to expose your internal data securely to a third party (like an insurance company or a logistics partner), we build robust RESTful or GraphQL APIs. We implement standard JWT authentication, rate-limiting, and thorough API documentation using Swagger or Postman, ensuring smooth integration for external developers.
Retail & POS Systems
Offline-first point of sale, inventory tracking, and receipt generation.
No. We specialize in offline-first POS systems. In Kenya, internet connectivity can be unreliable. Our POS software allows your cashiers to continue ringing up sales, managing inventory, and printing receipts completely offline. Once the connection is restored, the system silently synchronizes all local data with the cloud server.
Yes. Our POS solutions are hardware-agnostic. We integrate seamlessly with standard USB or Bluetooth barcode scanners, receipt (thermal) printers, cash drawers, and weighing scales. We ensure the POS interface is optimized for both touchscreens and keyboard navigation.
Absolutely. We build multi-tenant architecture into our retail solutions. From a single admin dashboard on your phone or laptop, you can view real-time sales, inventory levels, and staff performance across 10 different branches across the country.
Our inventory management modules update in real-time. You can set reorder thresholds for every product. When stock falls below this level, the system automatically sends an email or WhatsApp notification to the procurement manager, preventing stock-outs of fast-moving goods.
Yes, the system is fully customizable. We can implement workflows for split payments (e.g., half cash, half M-Pesa), customer credit accounts, layaway programs, and detailed debt tracking. All balances are tracked against specific customer profiles.
Yes, our POS can be tailored for the hospitality industry. Features include table management, Kitchen Display Systems (KDS) integration, split billing, recipe/ingredient level inventory tracking (to monitor shrinkage), and integration with food delivery platforms. The intuitive touch interface ensures fast order taking during peak hours.
Our POS system includes strict role-based access control. Cashiers cannot delete items from a printed bill or issue refunds without manager override via PIN or fingerprint. We also track every single action in an unalterable audit log, monitor end-of-day shift blind drops (z-reports), and integrate seamlessly with digital weighing scales to prevent deliberate under-ringing.
Cyber & Business Services
Business registration, tax filing, and digital services in Kenya.
We provide a full suite of digital compliance and cyber services. This includes Business Registration (Sole Proprietorship, Partnership, LLC), KRA PIN registration and filing, AGPO certification, NSSF/NHIF registration, and filing annual returns via the eCitizen BRS portal.
Yes, our team of experts provides fast and accurate tax filing services. You provide us with your sales and payroll data, and we compute, prepare, and file your VAT, PAYE, and Withholding Tax returns on the KRA iTax portal before the 9th and 20th deadlines to avoid penalties.
Once all required documents (ID copies, KRA PINs, passport photos, and proposed names) are provided, the name search and reservation takes 1-2 days. The full incorporation process via the BRS portal typically takes 3 to 7 working days, after which you receive your digital Certificate of Incorporation and CR12.
Yes. We apply for the official CR12 document via the eCitizen portal. The CR12 is a crucial document required by banks to open corporate accounts or by Safaricom to issue a Paybill number, as it outlines the official directors and shareholders of the company.
We assist with account recovery. Whether it requires password resets, email updates via KRA stations, or unlocking accounts disabled due to multiple failed login attempts, we guide you through the official channels to regain access quickly.
Generating a KRA payment slip (PRN) for Withholding Tax or VAT requires logging into the iTax portal, navigating to the payments menu, and correctly selecting the tax head and tax period. Our cyber team can quickly generate these PRNs for you remotely and send you the slip via WhatsApp or email, allowing you to pay directly via M-Pesa or your corporate bank.
