We started by fixing one business’s spreadsheet problem.
That’s still, more or less, what we do. It just happens at a larger scale now, and sometimes the fix is software we already built rather than something new.
We didn’t set out to build software products.
BizBora Hub started as a consultancy. We went into a business, found the specific thing slowing it down, and fixed that one thing. Across enough clients, one problem showed up more than any other: sales, stock and the books living in separate spreadsheets that only agreed with each other on a good day.
Building that fix from scratch for each new client eventually stopped making sense. BizBora, our ERP, exists because that same problem kept recurring, not because we set out to become a software vendor. Custom work and consulting are still most of what we do. A product only gets built here once a fix gets asked for often enough that packaging it is the more honest answer than billing for it again.
Build the software African businesses actually need, and tell them honestly when they don’t need us at all.
A generation of Kenyan businesses running on systems built for how they actually operate, not systems they had to adapt themselves to.
Integrity first
We tell a client when the answer is smaller than what they asked for. Commitments get honoured and deadlines get kept, even when that's the harder option.
Relentless innovation
We'd rather rebuild something internally than ship a version of it we already know is only good enough.
Client obsession
The measure of a project isn't the invoice, it's whether the client still wants to work with us a year later.
Built for Africa
M-Pesa, multi-currency, offline-first, and data kept close to home. Designed around how business actually happens here, not adapted from somewhere else.
Reasons clients tend to give when we ask them.
We say no to work we shouldn't do
A real share of our consulting engagements end with a recommendation that costs us a development contract, because that was the honest answer.
Founder-led, not committee-run
Decisions on a project get made by the people doing the work, not routed through layers of account management.
We stay after launch
Support and iteration continue once a system ships. We don't hand over a project and move on to the next client the same week.
We build here, for here
Nairobi-based, working mostly with Kenyan and East African businesses, which means we understand the constraints our clients actually operate under.
What that's looked like in practice.
Situation
A distribution business closing the books took a full week every month.
What we did
Rebuilt their sales and stock process on BizBora, connecting it directly to the finance ledger.
Result
Month-end closing now takes a day, not a week.
Distribution business, Nairobi
Situation
A manufacturer wanted new software before checking whether they needed it.
What we did
An IT consulting engagement found the real issue was a process gap, not a technology gap.
Result
They fixed the process for a fraction of what custom software would have cost.
Manufacturing SME
Situation
A retail chain's stock counts never matched what was actually on the shelf.
What we did
Deployed BizBora's inventory module across every branch, replacing manual stock sheets.
Result
Stock counts now match reality, checked automatically, every day.
Retail chain, Mombasa
Have a system that needs building, fixing, or replacing?
Tell us what’s going on. We’ll tell you honestly whether that’s a custom build, a consulting engagement, or something we’ve already built.
