Cloud & DevOps

Cloud-native architecture, CI/CD pipelines and infrastructure that stays up when it matters — cost-optimized and secure.

05

IT Consulting & Strategy

Technology audits, digital transformation roadmaps and architecture reviews that align your stack with your ambitions.

06

Data Engineering & Analytics

How every release ships

Proven, then sent

Tests green, checked in a real browser at phone width, then installed clean on an empty database and tested again from the shipped package.

That is the work

Now the way we ship it

Four steps, the same every time, whether it is a till in Nyali or a fleet system.

How we work

A process built for certainty.

Discover

We dig into your goals, users and constraints until we understand the problem better than anyone.

Design

Architecture, UX and prototypes — validated early so we build the right thing, not just build things right.

Develop

Agile sprints, continuous delivery, relentless code review. You see progress every single week.

Deploy & Evolve

Launch is the beginning. We monitor, optimize and iterate so your product keeps compounding value.

Systems we build and run

One engine. Many trades.

The same ledger, the same audit trail and the same statutory engine underneath — fitted to how your sector actually works. Every one is in production or built from a system that is.

In production

Transport & logistics

KaziWare TMS, running Ironhorse Hauliers. Built for trucks, drivers, fuel and corridors — not adapted from a retail till.

  • Trips and dispatch, vehicle to driver to route
  • Fuel issues and consumption per vehicle
  • Driver HR, leave and payroll in the same system
  • Every movement posting to one double-entry ledger
  • Costs per trip, so you know which routes pay
Fuel, wages and repairs land in the accounts as they happen. Nobody keys them in twice.
Retail & hospitality

POS & ERP

From a single till in a duka to a multi-branch supermarket, restaurant or wholesaler — with KRA eTIMS filed on the sale, not exported afterwards.

  • Tills, cashiers, shifts and split payments
  • Stock, purchases, suppliers and reorder levels
  • Debtors with credit limits and terms
  • Recipes, kitchen orders and table service
  • Billing, invoicing, P&L, balance sheet and trial balance
  • M-Pesa reconciled to the sale, not to a statement
Works through a power cut. The sale completes, the eTIMS invoice syncs when the line returns.
Churches & parishes

Church management

Built with congregations, not sold to them. A parish's money deserves the same controls as a bank's — and its members deserve rather more privacy than a bank gives.

  • Contributions, tithes and pledges, receipted by SMS
  • Members, families and groups
  • Attendance as a headcount per service, never per person
  • Period closes and carry-forward that actually balance
  • Asset register with an annual verification walk
  • Append-only records — corrections leave a reason, never a gap
No giving leaderboards. No member-versus-member comparison. Nobody sees another member's giving. Those are refusals, and they are deliberate.
Any organisation

Asset management

What you own, where it is, what it cost and what it is worth now. The register most businesses only build the week before an audit.

  • Item, category, location and custodian
  • Purchase cost and date, so depreciation computes itself
  • Movements and transfers between sites
  • Printed verification checklist, walked location by location
  • Disposals and write-offs with a reason on the record
Records enough to compute depreciation on any basis your auditor asks for, rather than guessing one for you.
In every system

HR & payroll

Kenyan statutory deductions calculated inside the system, with the returns coming out of the same data that paid the staff.

  • PAYE across all five bands, with personal relief
  • NSSF Tier I and II on the current earnings limits
  • SHIF at 2.75%, and the Housing Levy at 1.5%
  • Leave accrual, balances and approvals
  • Payslips, bank schedules and the statutory returns
Each payroll period is worked out on the rules that governed it, so last year's reconciliation does not get today's rates.
Supplied and fitted

Hardware & consumables

The machines the software runs on, and the paper it prints on. Held in stock in Mombasa, delivered countrywide.

  • ETR and fiscal printers, registered with KRA and tested on a live invoice
  • Android and all-in-one POS terminals, cash drawers, barcode scanners
  • Weighing scales and barcode label printers
  • Thermal receipt rolls, 80mm and 58mm — retail, trade and carton rates
  • Label and sticker rolls, and colour ribbons for card printers
  • Toners and inks, CCTV, switches, cabling and UPS

Balanced The books have to balance to the shilling before a build is accepted. It is a gate in the test suite, not a review step.
Replay-safe Payment routes carry an idempotency key end to end, so a retried M-Pesa callback can never post twice.
Clean-installed Every release is installed on an empty database and re-tested from the shipped package before it reaches you.
Yours Full IP transfer on final payment, plus the handover pack — so your system outlives your relationship with us.
What you get

What we commit to, in writing.

Answered within the hour

WhatsApp and email, 8am–6pm Monday to Saturday. Outside those hours we answer next morning — we would rather state the hours than break the promise nightly.

Fixed scope, fixed quote, fixed date

Agreed in a one-page scope before any code is written. If the scope changes you get a new number before the work starts, not an invoice after it.

You see it working every week

Working software each sprint, on your own data. Not slideware, not a status report.

We tell you what we did not build

Every release names what was deliberately left out, and why. You should never discover a gap on your own.

Who we are

Where innovation goes to work.

"Kazi" means work — and that's exactly what our technology does. Kaziware is a team of engineers, researchers and designers obsessed with building software that performs in the real world.

We operate at the intersection of research and delivery: exploring what's next in AI and cloud, then applying it with the discipline of enterprise-grade engineering. The result is software that's not just modern — it's ahead.

Questions, answered

Everything you're wondering.

We can usually begin discovery within one week of signing. An MVP typically ships in 4–8 weeks; larger platforms run 3–6 months with working software delivered every sprint, so you never wait until the end to see results.

Fixed quotes for fixed scopes, monthly retainers for dedicated teams. Every estimate is itemized so you see exactly what you're paying for — and we don't bill for surprises we should have foreseen.

You do — 100%. On final payment, all source code, designs, documentation and infrastructure configs are transferred to your accounts. We build in the open with you from day one.

Our R&D lab builds production ML systems: forecasting engines, intelligent automation, document understanding and custom model integration. We'll tell you honestly when AI is the wrong tool — that's part of the job.

Every project includes a support window with monitoring, fixes and optimization. Most clients continue with a lightweight retainer — but there's no lock-in, and your team gets full documentation and handover either way.
