CompanyOp

Best ERP system in Kenya

Nairobi teams are spoilt for choice: SAP Business One partners, Odoo, Xero for books, and a till that never posts. CompanyOp is for companies that want one tenant and to pay only for the apps they touch—especially if they also run a lending or multi-country African operation that those suites treat as an afterthought.

Local fit

KES is supported. The KRA eTIMS pack fiscalises POS sales through KRA’s hosted OSCU API after you license the app and initialize a device. Other filings (PAYE, returns on iTax) stay on KRA’s portals.

Growing SMEs, SACCOs and lenders, and regional HQs that already live in English and shillings.

Why teams look here

  • Shilling books and optional POS
  • KRA eTIMS OSCU fiscalisation for till sales
  • Loan and risk apps if you lend
  • No per-user Odoo-style meter unless you later add seats inside an app

Questions people ask

Does CompanyOp speak eTIMS?

Yes — license the KRA eTIMS app, initialize an OSCU device with your PIN and serial, register items, then enable POS fiscalisation. You still need KRA OSCU approval on the eTIMS portal.

Is this cheaper than SAP Business One in Kenya?

Business One is a partner-led mid-market suite. CompanyOp is per-app SaaS. Mid-market manufacturers that need shop-floor B1 should stay on SAP. Services and lenders often should not.

Can we start with accounting and add payroll later?

Yes. That is the licensing model. You do not buy a Kenya SKU that includes modules you will never open.
