About Our Manufacturing IT Practice

Manufacturing Software Built for
Kenya's Industrial Sector

Kenya's manufacturing sector — spanning Export Processing Zones (EPZ) in Athi River and Mombasa, Special Economic Zones (SEZ), agro-processing (tea, coffee, cut flowers, horticulture packaging), food and beverages, textiles, construction materials, pharmaceuticals, and light manufacturing — contributes over 8% of GDP and employs hundreds of thousands. Yet most Kenyan manufacturers still rely on Excel spreadsheets and disconnected accounting systems to run production, inventory, and quality operations.

Algosoft Technologies builds manufacturing ERP software for Kenya's production companies — replacing spreadsheet-based production planning with digital work orders and production schedules, automating Bill of Materials explosions for raw material requirements, integrating with KRA eTIMS for tax invoice generation on sales orders, and connecting M-Pesa B2C for staff and casual worker wage disbursements — giving factory managers and finance directors real-time visibility into production costs, material consumption, and order fulfilment status.

  • Bill of Materials (BOM) & Inventory Management — Define multi-level Bills of Materials for all your manufactured products, automatically calculate raw material requirements for production orders, track raw material, WIP, and finished goods inventory in real time, and generate raw material procurement requirements based on production schedules.
  • Quality Management System (QMS) — Digital quality inspection checklists at goods inward, in-process production stages, and finished goods release — with non-conformance recording, corrective action tracking, batch traceability from raw material to finished product, and KEBS quality standard alignment for manufacturers seeking Standardisation Mark (SM) certification.
  • KRA eTIMS Invoice Integration — Every sales order in our manufacturing ERP automatically generates a KRA eTIMS-validated electronic tax invoice — eliminating the manual ETR process and ensuring full tax compliance for manufacturers under KRA's mandatory eTIMS rollout for Kenyan businesses.

IT Systems We Build for Manufacturing
Companies in Kenya

Manufacturing ERP System

An integrated Enterprise Resource Planning system for Kenyan manufacturers — combining sales orders, production planning, raw material procurement, inventory management, quality control, finance, and HR in a single platform — giving factory owners and finance directors real-time visibility into production costs and order profitability.

Production Planning & Scheduling

Digital production work orders linked to customer sales orders, machine and labour capacity planning, production schedule management with status tracking (planned, in-progress, completed), WIP (work-in-progress) tracking by production stage, shift-wise output recording, and production efficiency and OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) reporting.

Inventory & Bill of Materials (BOM) Management

Multi-level BOM configuration for all manufactured products, automatic raw material requirement calculation from production orders (MRP), real-time raw material, WIP, and finished goods stock levels, stock valuation (FIFO/weighted average), supplier purchase order management, goods received notes, and stock adjustment and write-off management.

Quality Management System (QMS)

Digital inspection forms for incoming goods, in-process quality checks at production stages, and finished goods release inspection — with non-conformance reporting, corrective and preventive action (CAPA) tracking, batch and lot traceability, certificate of analysis (CoA) generation, and KEBS Standardisation Mark quality process documentation support.

CMMS — Maintenance Management System

A Computerized Maintenance Management System for managing factory equipment maintenance — preventive maintenance schedules based on machine hours or calendar intervals, reactive breakdown work orders, spare parts inventory management, maintenance cost tracking per machine, equipment downtime analysis, and maintenance team work order assignment and closure.

Sales Order & KRA eTIMS Invoicing

Customer order management with pricing, discounts, and delivery scheduling — linked to production planning to ensure order fulfilment is aligned with available capacity and raw materials. All confirmed sales orders automatically generate KRA eTIMS-validated electronic tax invoices, ensuring full VAT compliance on manufactured goods sold in Kenya.

Why Choose Algosoft

Why Manufacturing Companies in Kenya
Choose Algosoft Technologies

01

Kenya Manufacturing Sector Knowledge

We understand Kenya's manufacturing landscape — EPZ and SEZ compliance requirements, Kenya Association of Manufacturers (KAM) standards, agro-processing export documentation, KEBS certification processes, and the specific operational challenges of Kenyan factories from Athi River's EPZ to Mombasa's industrial area and Nairobi's industrial zone along Mombasa Road.

02

KRA eTIMS Integration Expertise

KRA's mandatory eTIMS rollout requires all Kenyan manufacturers to generate electronic tax invoices validated by KRA's system. We integrate KRA eTIMS APIs directly into our manufacturing ERP — so every sales invoice is automatically KRA-validated, QR-coded, and transmitted without requiring separate manual ETR or eTIMS entry by your finance team.

03

KEBS Quality Standards Alignment

Kenya Bureau of Standards (KEBS) Standardisation Mark (SM) certification and product quality standards require documented quality management processes. Our QMS modules are built around the quality documentation requirements that KEBS auditors look for — incoming material inspection, process control, finished goods testing, non-conformance records, and corrective action logs.

04

Production Cost Visibility

Most Kenyan manufacturers cannot accurately calculate the true cost of producing a single unit — because raw material consumption, labour costs, machine time, energy, and overhead are tracked separately in different systems. Our manufacturing ERP brings all cost components into a single production cost card per work order — giving your management team accurate product cost data for pricing decisions.

05

M-Pesa B2C Staff & Casual Wage Payments

Many Kenyan manufacturers pay casual and daily-rated workers via M-Pesa. We integrate Daraja B2C for bulk wage disbursements to workers' M-Pesa numbers — with payroll batch processing, individual payment confirmations, failed payment handling, and a complete wage payment audit trail for labour compliance purposes.

06

Post-Launch Support & Regulatory Updates

Kenya's manufacturing regulatory environment changes — KRA eTIMS specifications are updated, KEBS standards are revised, EPZ export documentation changes, and new tax rates take effect. We provide ongoing post-launch maintenance to keep your manufacturing ERP aligned with current KRA, KEBS, and Kenya Revenue Authority requirements.

Yes. We integrate KRA eTIMS APIs directly into our manufacturing ERP's sales order module — so every confirmed sales order automatically generates a KRA eTIMS-validated electronic tax invoice without any manual eTIMS entry by your accounts team. Each invoice carries the required KRA QR code and control unit serial number for full VAT compliance under Kenya Revenue Authority's mandatory eTIMS rollout for manufacturers.
A Bill of Materials (BOM) is a structured list of all raw materials, components, and sub-assemblies required to manufacture one unit of a finished product, with quantities. In manufacturing ERP software, a BOM lets the system automatically calculate how much of each raw material you need to produce a given quantity, check current stock availability, raise procurement orders for shortfalls, and accurately calculate the raw material cost component in your total production cost per unit.
Yes. We build QMS modules with digital inspection forms for incoming material testing, in-process quality checks at production stages, and finished goods release testing — with non-conformance recording, corrective and preventive action (CAPA) tracking, batch and lot traceability from raw material supplier to finished product delivery, and quality process documentation structured to support Kenya Bureau of Standards (KEBS) Standardisation Mark (SM) certification audits.
Yes. Our Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS) module manages preventive maintenance schedules for all factory equipment based on machine hours or calendar intervals, reactive breakdown work orders for unplanned failures, spare parts inventory for maintenance consumables, maintenance cost tracking per machine, equipment downtime reporting, and maintenance team work order assignment — reducing unplanned machine downtime in Kenyan factories.
Manufacturing ERP software in Kenya costs from $15,000 for a basic inventory and production tracker with BOM management and KRA eTIMS invoicing to $35,000+ for a full manufacturing ERP with QMS, MRP, and supplier management. Enterprise manufacturing platforms with CMMS start at $80,000+ and multi-plant ERP systems start at $180,000+. Final pricing depends on product complexity, number of production lines, and integrations required.
Yes. We integrate M-Pesa Daraja B2C for bulk wage disbursements to casual workers and daily-rated staff, and for supplier payments where suppliers prefer M-Pesa over bank transfer — particularly useful for small supplier payments and agricultural produce purchases. Our system supports batch processing from payroll or purchase order records, automated payment status tracking, and a complete audit trail for labour and supplier payment compliance.
Yes. Our Tier 04 multi-plant ERP includes EPZ and SEZ compliance reporting features — tracking export volumes, local content requirements, employment records for EPZ Authority reporting, bond register management for duty-free imports into EPZ facilities, and production records supporting EPZ compliance with the Export Processing Zones Authority (EPZA) and the Kenya Revenue Authority bond requirements.
