Eastmatt’s lanes, Galana’s minimarts, Yanah’s counter. When the line is long and the network blinks, the sale still goes through. KRA eTIMS, M-Pesa and statutory payroll are in the product, not in a change request.

Eastmatt, Galana Energies and Yanah Pharmacy run on Vortex today. Meet the rest of them
Pick the closest thing. If none of these is you, a person in Nairobi will tell you straight.
VortexERP Lite is already shaped for eighteen trades. Open the one that looks like yours. Thirty days, no card.
Supermarket lanes stay on VortexPOS. A warehouse, a mill or a project business sits on VortexERP Enterprise. We walk the floor before we configure a screen.
Payroll that knows Kenyan law. A core for a SACCO. Cards at the pump. Courses your staff actually finish.
Four questions. Sometimes the honest answer is SAP, Odoo or QuickBooks. We would rather say so than win the wrong job.
Same facts in every one of them: Kenyan tax, mobile money, and a day when the internet is simply not there. The detail lives on each product’s own page.
Finance, the warehouse and the factory floor for a large operation. eTIMS and M-Pesa sit in the core, not in a plugin.

VortexPOS on the lanes. The till keeps selling when the internet does not, and the Z report still balances.
See the till →The minimart at every Galana station. Vortex runs the shop across the whole network.
See the till →A pharmacy counter on VortexERP Lite. Batches and expiry stay with the sale, and M-Pesa is a tender, not a workaround.
See pharmacy →Six tills, one power cut, the receipt still signs with KRA. Cards, M-Pesa and a voucher can split one basket. When the network returns, nothing was lost.
Explore VortexPOS →Teachers open their day on a short screen. The bursar receipts fees to M-Pesa. Report cards follow the curriculum the school actually teaches, CBE or Cambridge.
Monday, before assembly
Term reportA Cambridge class gets a grade, and a position.
Imported software assumes a stable line, a foreign tax form and a dollar payroll. We started from the other end.
KRA TIMS/eTIMS on the invoice, VAT and withholding with an iTax export, statements a board can read. In the box.
STK push at the till, Airtel Money, a parent paying fees, a customer paying on the portal. The receipt lands in the books.
Tills, scanners and a branch that has to keep trading. They sync when the network comes back. They do not wait for it.
Enterprise, payroll, the POS and MicroLens run on your servers or in your cloud. Lite is hosted, for people who want none of that care.
