What industries does Biashara ERP support?
Retail and supermarkets, pharmacy and chemist, hospitality, property and rentals, and manufacturing. Each signup path presets modules, navigation, dashboards, and pricing tiers for that vertical.
Pitch-ready suites
Industry & business ERP suites for Kenya
Pitch the suite that already matches how the client operates: retail, manufacturing, SACCO, microfinance, banking, hospitality, property, school, ecommerce, security, AI, and communications, all on one Kenya-ready ERP.
What you need to know
Direct answers for search engines, AI assistants, and buyers evaluating ERP software in Kenya.
Do I pick my industry at signup?
Yes. Choose retail, pharmacy, hospitality, property, or manufacturing when you register. Biashara provisions the right suite, tier ladder, and module set automatically.
Can one ERP cover multiple business types?
Each workspace targets one primary industry blueprint. Multi-branch operators stay in one tenant with branch-scoped stock, shifts, and dashboards.
Lead with business fit, not generic ERP modules
Each suite bundles the workflows decision-makers actually buy: M-Pesa, eTIMS, payroll, stock, approvals, CRM, and the vertical depth that usually gets postponed into expensive custom work.

Why these pitches land
Kenya-first gaps clients already feel
Use these talking points when buyers compare Biashara to a generic horizontal ERP or several disconnected apps.
KRA eTIMS on every receipt
The gap: Many ERPs bolt on fiscalisation late or leave you with manual VSCU uploads and mismatched POS totals.
Biashara: Biashara routes sales through eTIMS-aware checkout, branch labels, and audit-friendly registers from day one.
M-Pesa as a first-class payment rail
The gap: International suites treat mobile money as an afterthought plugin with slow settlement reconciliation.
Biashara: STK push at POS, Buy Goods till for subscriptions & rent, payment intents, and webhook reconciliation built in.
Kenya payroll & statutory
The gap: Global HR modules rarely ship PAYE, NHIF, NSSF, and local leave rules without expensive customisation.
Biashara: Payroll runs, attendance, leave, and payslip workflows tuned for Kenyan employers, all inside the same tenant.
Industry depth, not one-size-fits-all
The gap: Horizontal ERPs force pharmacies, hotels, and landlords into the same SKU and menu, which is heavy to configure.
Biashara: Vertical suites (pharmacy FEFO, hospitality PMS/KDS, property leases) with tiered modules you actually use.
Multi-branch without multi-tenant chaos
The gap: Spreadsheets and siloed tools break when you add branches, shifts, and role-based approvals.
Biashara: One workspace per business, branches, shifts, supervisor overrides, and executive dashboards scoped by role.
Affordable KES pricing & local support
The gap: Dollar-priced SaaS with foreign support hours doesn't fit Kenyan SMB cash cycles and M-Pesa billing.
Biashara: KES monthly tiers from entry kiosk plans, M-Pesa Buy Goods billing, live platform support chat, and partner channel.
Bulk SMS without a separate tool
The gap: Teams export numbers to spreadsheets, pay for standalone SMS blasters, and lose context when follow-up should happen in the same CRM.
Biashara: Mass SMS lives in Biashara CRM with audience preview, campaign history, and gateway preferences in one workspace (live send as providers are connected).
