    What our clients say

    "Rawlinz built us an ERP that replaced four different spreadsheets. Stock reconciliation that used to take two days now takes ten minutes. The M-Pesa integration alone saved us one full-time accountant."
    Grace Muthoni
    Operations Manager, Apex Distributors
    "Our CRM went live in six weeks. The sales team adopted it in three days because it matched our actual process — WhatsApp follow-ups, M-Pesa tracking, the lot. Pipeline visibility went from zero to real-time."
    Daniel Karanja
    CEO, NexaTrade Kenya
    "We needed a tenant portal, automated rent collection via M-Pesa, and KRA-compliant invoicing. Rawlinz delivered all three in one system. Arrears dropped 40% in the first quarter."
    Amina Hassan
    Director, Sahara Properties
    "The school management system handles fee collection for 2,400 students via M-Pesa. Parents get instant receipts, and our finance team finally has real-time visibility into arrears."
    John Ochieng
    Head of IT, Lakeview Academy
    "From a basic Shopify store to a full custom e-commerce platform with M-Pesa STK Push and delivery tracking. Our conversion rate doubled in three months."
    Faith Wanjiku
    Founder, GreenCart Nairobi
    "The fleet management and ERP system Rawlinz built connects our 5 branches in real-time. Fuel costs are down 22% and we eliminated paper-based job cards entirely."

    Software development questions

    What types of software do you develop?

    We build business management systems, web applications, mobile apps, SaaS products, APIs, and integration layers. Our focus is on software that solves real operational problems for Kenyan businesses.

    How much does custom software development cost in Kenya?

    Projects range from KES 150,000 for a focused web application to KES 3,000,000+ for full enterprise systems. We provide detailed estimates after a free discovery session.

    Do you build for both web and mobile?

    Yes. We build web applications, progressive web apps, and native/cross-platform mobile apps. Many projects include both a web admin panel and a mobile client app.

    What is your development process?

    We follow an agile process: discovery, architecture, sprint-based development with weekly demos, QA, deployment, and post-launch support. You see working software every week.

    Can you take over or improve an existing system?

    Yes. We regularly audit, refactor, and extend existing codebases. We assess the current system, identify gaps, and create a plan to modernise or enhance it.
