Utauza and AskBiz are the same product. AskBiz is the global name; Utauza — Kiswahili for “you will sell” — is what it's called across East Africa, because a till for Kenyan and Tanzanian traders should carry a name traders recognise. Whether you find us as Utauza or AskBiz, you get the same thing: a phone-first point of sale built for market stalls, street vendors and small shops. Point your camera at a product to add it, take payment by M-Pesa, Airtel Money, MTN Mobile Money or cash, and see exactly what you made at the end of the day. No terminal, no spreadsheet, free to start. This page exists so that anyone searching for Utauza lands in the right place and knows it's AskBiz underneath.
Why the name Utauza matters
A trader in Nairobi or Dar es Salaam shouldn't have to translate an English product name before deciding whether a business tool is for them. “Utauza” — you will sell — says exactly what it does, in the language of the market. Global software rarely bothers; it ships one English name everywhere and hopes. We built the East African identity on purpose so the product feels like it belongs here, not like it was flown in. If you heard about Utauza from another vendor, a WhatsApp group, or a market, this is it.
One product, the name that fits your market
Utauza is AskBiz with an East African name and an East-African-first design: M-Pesa, Airtel and MTN money native; Kiswahili in the app; offline support for weak networks; and a camera-first flow that works even if you'd rather not type. Sign in as Utauza or AskBiz and it's the same account, the same data, the same free-to-start plan. You can switch the app to Kiswahili, take mobile money from the first sale, and know your money tonight — under whichever name you found us.
