Software, websites, hosting, automation and digital marketing for businesses in Dar es Salaam, Arusha, Mwanza, Dodoma and Zanzibar, with Swahili-friendly support.

How we work with Tanzanian businesses

Tanzania is a Swahili-speaking market with strong mobile money use. M-Pesa and other wallets are part of everyday trade, so systems need to reconcile those payments automatically.

Our systems for hotels, tour operators, schools, farms, logistics and retail suit Tanzania, and tourism businesses in Arusha and Zanzibar can use our tours and travel and hotel systems. We adapt currency, taxes and payment methods, and we work from Nairobi on East Africa Time, which matches Tanzania.

Tax invoicing and data protection

The Tanzania Revenue Authority (TRA) requires electronic fiscal receipts through its approved devices and systems for many businesses.

Data protection in Tanzania is governed by Tanzania's Personal Data Protection Act, 2022. Rules change, so confirm current requirements with the relevant authority or your adviser. We build the technical side and do not give legal or tax advice.
