ERP for small business Kenya
ERP for small businesses in Kenya
An ERP should put selling, stock, buying, money and books in one system so the numbers agree. Steadline does that for Kenyan small and medium businesses, without the months of setup or the enterprise price of a big-company suite.
No card to start. Prices from KES 2,999 a month when the trial ends.
What an ERP should actually do for an SME
The point is one system, not five. When a sale moves stock, creates a receivable and posts to the ledger at the same time, you stop reconciling separate tools. That is what Steadline is built around.
Not a big-company system
Large ERPs need consultants, months of implementation and a budget to match. Steadline is priced per business from KES 2,999 a month, you set it up yourself, and your accountant can still open the books whenever they want.
The parts you get
Sales, quotations, orders, invoices and receipts. Products, stock per branch, transfers and stock takes. Purchases, LPOs and suppliers. Customers, credit control and statements. Cash, bank, expenses and M-Pesa. Reports, VAT, withholding tax and eTIMS.
- ✓Sales and invoicing
- ✓Inventory across branches
- ✓Purchases and supplier accounts
- ✓Money in and out, including M-Pesa
- ✓A double-entry ledger and financial reports
Multiple branches and multiple staff
Real businesses have more than one location and more than one person. Steadline has admin, accountant and cashier roles, access scoped to the right branch, and an audit trail of who changed what.
The books are included
Because the ledger sits underneath everything, you get proper bookkeeping, not just operations. Profit and loss, balance sheet, cash flow, trial balance, VAT and eTIMS are part of the system, not an add-on.
Start small and grow
Begin on Starter as a single shop, move to Growth when you sell on credit and run more than one branch, and move to Business when you need unlimited users and warehouses. You change plan when the business needs it.
Questions people ask
Is Steadline a full ERP or just accounting software?+
It is both, because the operations and the accounting share one ledger. Sales, stock and purchases post straight into proper double-entry books, so you do not run an operations tool and an accounting tool side by side.
How long does setup take?+
Hours, not months. You add the business, products, branches and staff, and start selling. There is no implementation project and no consultant required.
Can it handle multiple branches and users?+
Yes. Stock is held per branch, and admin, accountant and cashier roles control who sees what. Higher plans raise the number of users and warehouses.
Do I need an IT team to run it?+
No. Steadline runs in a browser and on a phone. There is nothing to install and no servers for you to maintain.
