Business software and IT services in Uganda

Business software, websites, hosting, automation and digital marketing for companies in Kampala and across Uganda, built by a Nairobi team that understands East African business.

How we work with Ugandan businesses

Ugandan businesses run on mobile money, WhatsApp and tight margins. Software that records MTN Mobile Money and Airtel Money payments against invoices, and that issues URA-compliant invoices, saves finance teams hours every week.

We support businesses in Kampala, Entebbe, Jinja and beyond from our Nairobi office, remotely and on site by arrangement. Our systems for schools, SACCOs, hotels, clinics, farms, logistics and retail are already built around East African workflows, and we adapt currency, taxes and payment methods for Uganda.

Tax invoicing and data protection

Uganda Revenue Authority (URA) runs EFRIS, its electronic fiscal receipting and invoicing system, which many VAT-registered businesses must connect to.

Data protection in Uganda is governed by Uganda's Data Protection and Privacy Act, 2019. 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.

Questions from Ugandan businesses

Do you provide software for businesses in Uganda?

Yes. We build and support management systems, websites, hosting and automation for Ugandan businesses, working from Nairobi, remotely and on site by arrangement.

Can your systems work with MTN Mobile Money and Airtel Money?

Our integrations are built around the mobile money APIs that are available. M-Pesa is our most developed integration, and we can check API access for MTN and Airtel for your use case.

Can you connect our system to URA EFRIS?

We build tax invoicing integrations where the revenue authority provides API access. Tell us your system and we will review what EFRIS integration involves, and confirm current requirements with URA.

Yes. Meta and Google Ads can target Uganda, and we write ads for local customers. You pay ad spend directly to the platform.
