What is Biashara ERP?

Biashara ERP is a Kenya-native cloud ERP with POS, inventory, accounting, payroll, CRM, M-Pesa, eTIMS, and industry suites in one workspace. It is built for Kenyan payment rails, statutory HR, and multi-branch operators who outgrew spreadsheets or offshore SaaS.

Who is Biashara ERP for?

Retailers, pharmacies, hospitality venues, landlords, manufacturers, SACCOs, and growing SMEs in Kenya that need POS, stock, finance, and compliance without stitching together separate tools.

How is Biashara ERP different from generic ERP?

M-Pesa STK and till billing, KRA eTIMS receipts, Kenyan payroll, vertical suites, KES pricing, and Mass SMS are native. Generic ERPs often need plugins, USD billing, and custom localisation projects.

What growing Kenyan operators need (and often don’t get)

Whether you outgrew spreadsheets or hit limits on a horizontal ERP, these are the gaps Biashara was designed to close.

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).

Solutions: frequently asked questions

When should a Kenyan business switch to Biashara ERP?

When spreadsheets, separate POS, and manual M-Pesa reconciliation slow growth, or when eTIMS, payroll, and multi-branch control become daily requirements.

Does Biashara replace my accountant?

No. Biashara gives your finance team clean ledgers, bank reconciliation, and reports. Many owners still work with external accountants for filings and advisory.

Can I migrate from another ERP?

Yes. The accounts migration centre and onboarding team help import opening balances, products, and customers. Scope depends on your current system.
