Point of sale for Kenya businesses
Kenya has over 7.4 million micro, small, and medium enterprises, accounting for more than 80% of all business activity in the country. Most operate informally — market stalls, kiosks, salons, hardware shops, and food sellers — relying on M-Pesa for the majority of transactions. With over 30 million active M-Pesa users and 70%+ of retail payments flowing through mobile money, any business tool that doesn't natively understand M-Pesa is useless for most Kenyan traders. AskBiz is built phone-first: open the app, scan a product, take payment via M-Pesa or cash, and your daily report updates automatically. KRA eTIMS compliance is built in for businesses that need it.
Challenges in Kenya
- M-Pesa ReconciliationMost Kenyan businesses receive payments across M-Pesa till numbers, personal M-Pesa, and cash — making it hard to know the true day's revenue without manually checking multiple sources.
- Informal Credit (Bado)Credit sales to regular customers ('bado' — not yet paid) are common in Kenyan retail but are rarely tracked systematically, leading to unknown receivables and cash flow surprises.
- Stock Management Without Barcode ScannersMany informal retailers manage dozens or hundreds of products without barcodes or a formal inventory system, leading to stockouts and overbuying.
- KRA eTIMS ComplianceThe Kenya Revenue Authority's eTIMS system requires electronic fiscal invoicing. Many small businesses are unsure how to comply without expensive dedicated POS hardware.
