How Kuza ERP solves it

1. Centralise master data

Import products, customers, and suppliers once. your business teams stop re-keying the same information across erp, spreadsheets, and tills.

Every sale, purchase, or invoice updates stock and financial records. Erp Software becomes the system of record — not WhatsApp photos of notebooks.

3. Control with roles and audit trails

Frequently asked questions

How much does Kuza ERP cost in Kenya?

Plans start from about KES 2,500 per user per month depending on seats and modules. Email hello@kuzaerp.com for a quote matched to your user list.

Is ERP pricing usually per user?

Cloud SME ERP is commonly per user or per plan tier. Always confirm what each seat can access and whether POS devices need separate licences.

Are there setup fees?

Some teams self-implement; others pay for guided onboarding. Ask for a written scope so setup fees are not open-ended.

Does pricing include eTIMS features?

Kuza ERP includes eTIMS-ready invoicing workflows in its SME product path. Confirm any device or advisor costs separately with your tax professional.

How many users do we need?

Count people who sell, receive stock, adjust inventory, or approve credit. Do not share logins to fake a lower seat count.

Is Excel cheaper than ERP?

Excel has no subscription, but stock errors, slow credit control, and reconciliation days are real costs. Compare total leakage, not licence lines.

Can we start small and add modules later?

Yes. Start with inventory and invoicing or POS, then add CRM or procurement when the core is stable.

How do we get an accurate quote?

Share branch count, role list, and must-have modules with hello@kuzaerp.com or during a demo with your sample SKUs.

What modules pair with erp in Kenya?

Teams usually combine erp with invoicing, inventory, POS, CRM, payroll, and accounting so operations in Kenya share one ledger of truth. Kuza ERP lets you enable modules as the business grows.

Does Kuza ERP support multi-branch sme teams?

Yes. Multi-outlet sme businesses can share products, customers, and permissions across branches while owners review consolidated dashboards.

How does Kuza ERP help with M-Pesa and cash reconciliation?

Sales can capture cash, M-Pesa, and card splits so end-of-day totals match finance reports without rebuilding the day in Excel.

Is Kuza ERP suitable as erp for startups and SMEs?

Kuza ERP is priced and packaged for Kenyan SMEs and startups that need erp without a long on-premise project. Start with core modules and expand when volume justifies it.

Can my accountant access Kuza ERP in Kenya?

Role-based access lets owners invite accountants or advisors as viewers or finance users so books stay shared without handing over admin control.

What support channels does Kuza ERP provide?

Kenyan support is available via the contact form, email at hello@kuzaerp.com, and WhatsApp for demos and onboarding questions during business hours.

How do I migrate from Excel to erp?

Import products and customers, map your chart of accounts where needed, then run parallel days until teams trust live stock and invoices. Most SMEs finish core migration within a week with guided setup.
