The problem

Small businesses do not need another complicated enterprise system.

They need simple tools that work every day. SaleFlex is not another payment POS. SaleFlex helps you manage orders, products, stock, kitchen flow, daily sales, customer loyalty, and owner reports.

  • Cashiers need a fast POS.
  • Kitchens need clear order flow.
  • Store managers need stock control.
  • Business owners need live reports.
  • Multi-store businesses need one central view.
  • Teams need a system that can keep working when the internet is unstable.

SaleFlex Cloud brings these pieces together.

The solution

One cloud membership. Multiple business tools.

SaleFlex Cloud is built around SaleFlex.GATE, the central hub of the SaleFlex ecosystem. It connects your stores, POS terminals, kitchen displays, mobile apps and back-office tools in one place.

You can run a simple cloud setup, or combine cloud with SaleFlex.OFFICE for local store coordination when you need extra reliability.

Cloud control for your business

Manage stores, terminals, users, reports and integrations from one cloud account.

Best for

  • Single-store businesses
  • Multi-store retailers
  • Restaurants and cafes
  • Retail chains
  • Service businesses
  • Local implementation partners

Kitchen orders without the paper chaos

Send orders from POS to the kitchen screen. Keep preparation flow clear, reduce missed orders, and help your staff work faster during busy hours.

Works with

  • SaleFlex Cloud
  • SaleFlex.OFFICE

Your business in your pocket

Owners and managers can check daily sales, payments, closures, top products, stock alerts, and store performance from their phone.

Perfect for business owners who cannot stay at the store all day.

Stock counting with a phone camera

Use mobile devices for stock counting, warehouse checks, barcode scanning, stock movement and inventory adjustments.

No expensive hardware required to start. Mobile stock workflows are planned for gradual release during early access.

Local back-office for stores that need extra reliability

SaleFlex.OFFICE helps stores manage products, campaigns, customers, loyalty, cashiers, POS terminals, warehouse data and transaction history from a local workstation.

Use OFFICE when your store needs local coordination, offline resilience, LAN-based POS communication, or backup before syncing to the cloud.

Kenya Market

Built for how Kenyan businesses actually operate

Kenya has one of Africa's most dynamic retail and foodservice markets — driven by a young, mobile-first population, deep M-Pesa adoption, and a rapidly growing SME sector across Nairobi, Mombasa, Kisumu and beyond.

But most Kenyan businesses — dukas, mini-markets, restaurants and pharmacies — still manage stock manually and have no visibility into daily sales from their phone. And as of 2026, the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) has made eTIMS compliance mandatory for all businesses. SaleFlex helps you run your store properly and grow with confidence.

Works when Safaricom drops or slows down

Despite Kenya's impressive mobile coverage, many dukas and shops — especially in peri-urban areas and estates — face network contention, slow 2G/3G speeds and dropped connections during peak hours. Cloud-only POS systems like Chara POS and FortyPOS stop working when the signal does.

SaleFlex.PyPOS runs locally on your hardware. Sales, kitchen orders and stock operations continue without a live connection. Everything syncs when the network returns.

Open architecture for M-Pesa integration

M-Pesa is Kenya's dominant payment method. SaleFlex's open-source architecture allows local implementation partners to integrate M-Pesa STK Push, Till Numbers and Paybill reconciliation — so your cashier and accounts stay in sync automatically.

Contact us or apply as a partner to discuss M-Pesa integration options for your store or your clients.

Ready for KRA eTIMS compliance

As of January 2026, Kenya Revenue Authority's "No eTIMS, No Expense" rule makes electronic invoice transmission mandatory for all businesses — with penalties of double the tax due or minimum KES 100,000 for non-compliance. SaleFlex's open-source foundation allows partners to add KRA-compliant VSCU or OSCU modules.

Contact us or apply as a partner to discuss eTIMS integration options for your business or clients.

More than just a receipt printer

Tiwi POS and Cute Profit focus on eTIMS compliance and M-Pesa reconciliation. SaleFlex adds kitchen display management (SaleFlex.KITCHEN), mobile stock counting (MOBILE.STOCK), owner reports accessible from your phone, and a full local back-office for stores that need offline resilience — all in one membership.

Who is using SaleFlex in Kenya

SaleFlex is well-suited for Kenyan businesses that need operational control beyond payments — and cannot afford to lose data or stop serving customers when the internet is unreliable.

  • Dukas and mini-markets
  • Restaurants and quick-service food
  • Cafes and bakeries
  • Pharmacies and health retail
  • Multi-branch retail operators
  • Businesses moving off manual stock records
Adaptation Status

SaleFlex Kenya adaptation is in progress

SaleFlex's core platform works for Kenyan businesses today. However, full market localisation — including mandatory KRA eTIMS integration, M-Pesa payment reconciliation and Kenya-specific compliance workflows — has not yet been completed as a built-in product feature. These adaptations require dedicated development and regulatory work.

KRA eTIMS built-in integration

As of 2026, all Kenyan businesses must transmit invoice data in real time to KRA servers via official API. Receipts must carry a KRA-signed Control Unit Invoice Number, a QR code, and sequential tamper-proof numbering. VAT calculations must reflect Kenya's three-tier structure (16% standard, 8% petroleum, 0% exempt/zero-rated).

SaleFlex does not yet include a native eTIMS module. This integration requires dedicated engineering work aligned with KRA's OSCU and VSCU specifications.

M-Pesa STK Push & reconciliation

M-Pesa STK Push, Till Number and Paybill payment flows are not built into SaleFlex out of the box. Automated payment reconciliation between M-Pesa transactions and POS records — critical for Kenyan cashier accuracy — requires a dedicated integration layer.

This work involves Safaricom's Daraja API and local testing with Kenya-registered business accounts.

Swahili localisation & KRA receipt format

Kenyan businesses serving diverse customer bases benefit from Swahili interface options and customer-facing screens. KRA also prescribes specific receipt formats — including QR codes, buyer KRA PIN fields for B2B transactions, and five-year secure audit storage requirements.

Language localisation and KRA-formatted receipt templates are on our Kenya roadmap but not yet delivered.

Buyer KRA PIN validation & audit trail

For B2B transactions, KRA requires that the buyer's KRA PIN is validated against eTIMS before invoice acceptance. Businesses also face disallowed expenses if their suppliers are not eTIMS-compliant. SaleFlex needs supplier compliance verification workflows tailored to Kenya's tax framework.

These compliance layers require Kenya-specific product engineering and QA validation against KRA's live systems.

What you can do right now

While Kenya-specific adaptation work is ongoing, you have three practical options to start using SaleFlex today or to help us accelerate the work for Kenya.

Use the global version

SaleFlex's global cloud platform is available now. You can use it for general POS operations, kitchen display, stock counting and owner reporting — without Kenya-specific compliance features. It is a capable starting point for businesses that want to digitise operations while local adaptation work is completed.

Adapt PyPOS for Kenya yourself

SaleFlex.PyPOS is open-source. If you have technical capacity or work with a local implementation partner, you can fork the codebase and add eTIMS, M-Pesa and KRA-specific modules for your own deployment. Our community and documentation are available to help.

FAQ

Questions about SaleFlex in Kenya

Yes. SaleFlex.PyPOS and SaleFlex.OFFICE run locally on your hardware. Even when Safaricom is slow or the connection drops, the POS keeps taking orders, recording sales and managing stock. Data syncs to the cloud automatically when connectivity is restored.
Not natively — yet. SaleFlex does not include a built-in eTIMS integration module at this time. The Kenya market adaptation, including KRA eTIMS (OSCU/VSCU), is on our roadmap. In the meantime, SaleFlex is open-source and local implementation partners can add KRA-compliant invoice modules. Send us a request to help accelerate this work.
Not built-in — yet. M-Pesa STK Push, Till Number and Paybill reconciliation are not yet integrated into SaleFlex's standard product. These can be added by implementation partners using SaleFlex's open architecture. Contact us or apply as a partner to discuss M-Pesa integration.
Yes — through the global version or the open-source Community Edition. The global platform covers POS, kitchen display, stock and reporting. For Kenya-specific features (eTIMS, M-Pesa), you can use the Community Edition with a local implementation partner, or send us an adaptation request to help prioritise Kenya on our roadmap.
Tiwi POS and Chara POS are strong in eTIMS compliance and M-Pesa integration. SaleFlex adds kitchen display management (SaleFlex.KITCHEN), mobile stock counting (MOBILE.STOCK), owner reports on your phone (MOBILE.REPORT), and an offline-capable local back-office (SaleFlex.OFFICE).
