Management Information Systems

One place where management can see what is actually happening.

Inventory in one spreadsheet, staff records in another, sales in a notebook — and no single figure anyone trusts. We build internal systems that hold the operational record properly: role-based access, an audit trail, and reporting that comes from the same data the team enters day to day.

Typical investment

Configured platform

KES 900,0004,000,000

Per project

Departments and reports covered, approval hierarchies, and KRA eTIMS or M-Pesa reconciliation. Configuring an established open-source ERP instead of building custom costs materially less — we will say so if that is the better fit.

Custom build

KES 4,000,0008,000,000+

Per project

A full custom build, for when no existing platform fits. Multi-location operations, complex approval chains, and deep integration with government systems.

The band narrows to a single fixed price in a signed statement of work before any work begins. See bands for every service.

What you get

Deliverables, not adjectives

These are the items written into the statement of work. Anything you need beyond them is quoted separately rather than assumed.
  • A data model built around the records your business actually keeps
  • Modules for the operational areas in scope, each with its own permissions
  • Role-based access so staff see only what their job requires
  • Management dashboards and exportable reports drawn from live data
  • An audit trail on record changes, and scheduled backups with a tested restore
  • Staff training material and an administrator handover

Good fit for

Is this the right service?

If none of these describe your situation, say so on the call — we would rather redirect you than take on work that is a poor fit.
  • Operations run across several disconnected spreadsheets
  • Schools, clinics and SACCOs needing a proper record system
  • Businesses whose monthly reporting is assembled by hand

Technologies

The ecosystems we work in

Read these as options our engineers are experienced with, not a fixed stack. The actual choice is made with you during scoping, based on what you already run and who will maintain it afterwards.

How we work

From first call to handover

  1. 01

    Discovery call

    A free 30-minute conversation about the problem, the constraints and the budget range. If we are not the right fit, we say so on this call.

  2. 02

    Scope & written quote

    We define what the first release includes and excludes, then quote it as a fixed price in a statement of work you can take to procurement.

  3. 03

    Design & architecture

    Screens and data model agreed before the build. Changing a diagram is cheaper than changing a shipped feature.

  4. 04

    Build in increments

    Short cycles with something reviewable at the end of each. You see progress in a working environment, not in a status report.

  5. 05

    Test & launch

    Functional, performance and security checks, a staged rollout with a rollback path, and a launch date agreed rather than announced.

  6. 06

    Handover & support

    Documentation, training and code in a repository you own — followed by a support retainer if you want us to keep it running.

Questions

What buyers ask before signing

Can you migrate our existing spreadsheets?

Yes, and it is worth budgeting for properly. Real data is always messier than expected, so we import, reconcile and give you a report of anything that could not be cleanly mapped.

Can it run without reliable internet?

Where connectivity is genuinely unreliable we deploy locally with cloud sync, or design offline-tolerant data capture. That is a decision to make at design time, not after.

Is this compliant with the Data Protection Act?

We build the technical controls the Act expects — access control, encryption in transit and at rest, retention rules and audit logging. Registration with the ODPC and your internal policies remain your responsibility, and we will point you at what is required.

Let's scope your management systems work

Tell us the problem and the constraints. You get a written scope and a fixed price within three working days — or an honest note that this is not something we should take on.
