One connected platform. Every department sees the same numbers.

Most businesses run on a till, a notebook, a spreadsheet and WhatsApp. SmartBiashara replaces them with modules that share one database, so an action in one place updates everything it touches. Pick a module to see what it feeds.

Point of Sale

Every till sale is recorded once and shared with the whole business.

What happens next

  1. Inventory: Stock drops at the branch that sold it
  2. Mobile money: The payment is matched to M-Pesa, Tigo Pesa, Airtel Money or cash
  3. Accounting: Revenue posts to your books automatically
  4. CRM: The customer’s purchase history updates
  5. Reports: Today’s sales and margins refresh

Seventeen modules. Switch on what you need.

Why businesses across East Africa choose SmartBiashara.

Global ERP systems were designed for other markets and priced in dollars. SmartBiashara was built in Tanzania for the way business is done here.

Why SmartBiashara

  • Built for African businesses

    TSh pricing, mobile money at the till, credit customers, multiple branches and the realities of local supply chains are designed in, not bolted on.

  • Every operation, connected

    POS, stock, purchasing, accounting, CRM and HR share one database, so you stop re-typing the same sale three times.

  • Mobile money workflows

    M-Pesa, Tigo Pesa and Airtel Money are accepted at checkout and reconciled against each sale.

  • Multi-branch from day one

    Run one duka or fifty locations. Transfers, prices and staff permissions are managed from head office.

  • Pricing a small business can carry

    Plans start at TSh 15,000 a month with no per-user fees. Pay yearly and get two months free.

  • Works on what you already own

    Runs in the browser on a phone, tablet, laptop or desktop, with offline-ready POS for patchy connections.

  • Local support that answers

    Talk to people in Dar es Salaam on WhatsApp or phone, Mon–Sat, 8am–8pm EAT, in English or Kiswahili.

  • Room to grow

    Add modules as you grow, or move to a white-label system on your own domain with Own Your ERP.

In their words.

20,000+ businesses across East Africa have used SmartBiashara since 2018. Here is what three of them told us.

“We used to close books in 3 days. Now it is 30 minutes. The mobile money reconciliation alone saved us 2 staff. SmartBiashara is the backbone of our pharmacy chain.”
AMAmina M.Owner · Mwanza Pharmacy Chain
“M-Pesa, Tigo Pesa and Airtel all come in automatically. No more end-of-day counting. The reports make my accountant happy and my tax filings take an hour, not a week.”
JKJoseph K.Manager · Kariakoo Hardware
“Started on the free trial. By week 2, we had 3 branches on it. The inventory tracking across stores is what makes SmartBiashara different from everything else we tried.”
