Astrametric — The ERP Built for Africa & the Global South. Run Your Whole Business from One Place.

THE PROBLEM

Most African businesses run on a mess.

QuickBooks for accounts, Excel for inventory, WhatsApp for approvals, mobile money statements pasted into a notebook, and the tax returns done by an external accountant who charges by the hour. Odoo or Zoho would help — but they cost a fortune to make region-ready, and rarely speak local mobile money or fiscal devices well.

Foreign ERPs need expensive plumbing

Odoo and Zoho don't ship with KRA eTIMS, TRA fiscal devices, EFRIS, M-Pesa, MoMo, or local payroll. Gold Partners charge KES 1-3M (or USD 10-30k) to bolt them on, and it breaks every upgrade.

Spreadsheet sprawl kills decisions

By the time a Friday report lands in your inbox, the data is stale and the chance to act has passed. You're managing yesterday.

Approvals stall on email

POs sit in someone's inbox for three days. Suppliers chase you. Cash flow gets squeezed. Staff lose trust in process.

Compliance is reactive, not built-in

VAT, PAYE, SHIF, NSSF, Housing Levy in Kenya. EFRIS in Uganda. TRA in Tanzania. RRA in Rwanda. Rules change yearly across every market. Your team scrambles. Penalties pile up.

THE SOLUTION

One platform. Built for Africa. Powered by AI.

Astrametric replaces the patchwork. Finance, sales, procurement, inventory, HR, payroll, projects — all in one place, with AI doing the heavy lifting and region-aware compliance built in.

Region-native from day one

Kenya: KRA eTIMS, M-Pesa Daraja, PAYE, SHIF, NSSF, Housing Levy, HELB, AGPO, IFMIS. Uganda: URA EFRIS, MTN MoMo, Airtel Money, NSSF UG. Tanzania: TRA fiscal device, M-Pesa TZ, TigoPesa. Rwanda: RRA EBM, MoMo RW. Bilingual UI in English & Swahili, French and Portuguese on the way.

AI Copilot in the product

Ask in plain English or Swahili: "show overdue invoices above 500K from last quarter". Documents OCR'd and posted automatically. Anomalies flagged before they hurt you.

WhatsApp-first operations

Approve POs, leave, expenses with a one-tap reply on WhatsApp. Send invoices, dunning, and quotations directly to customer phones. Median approval time: 14 minutes.

True offline mobile

Native Flutter apps for iOS and Android with conflict-free offline sync. Field staff capture sales, scan barcodes, log attendance with GPS — even with no signal.

Sub-400 ms screens

Engineered on Go microservices for raw speed. Median screen load 5× faster than Odoo, 10× faster than SAP. Your team won't be waiting.

Multi-tenant, your data stays in your region

Pick your residency at signup: Kenya (iColo, Safaricom Karen), East Africa (Mombasa), South Africa (Cape Town), or EU. Per-tenant encryption keys; bring your own key on Platinum. DPA 2019, NDPR, POPIA-aligned.

WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT

Capabilities no one else ships.

Real-time collaboration, time-travel, anchored audit, conflict-free offline — the kinds of things that turn ERP from a chore into a superpower.

REAL-TIME COLLABORATION

Voids, deletes, postings — all reversible
Atomic rollback of side effects
Full audit trail preserved

TIME-TRAVEL QUERIES

What did this account look like on 3rd March at 2pm?

Bitemporal storage means every record has a complete history. Query the state of any record, balance, or report as of any past timestamp — for audits, dispute resolution, or simple curiosity.

CRYPTOGRAPHICALLY ANCHORED AUDIT

Tamper-proof event log. Verifiable in court.

Every event is appended to a hash-chained log. Daily Merkle roots are anchored on Bitcoin and Ethereum (Platinum) or to a notary service. Auditors get verifiable proof your books haven't been altered retroactively.

"We replaced QuickBooks, three spreadsheets, and a half-broken Odoo install with Astrametric in one weekend. By Tuesday our M-Pesa was auto-reconciling itself. Magic."

"The AI Copilot is the closest thing to having a junior analyst on staff. I ask it for anything — sales by region, overdue invoices, expense outliers — and it answers in seconds, in Swahili if I want."

"WhatsApp approvals alone paid for the subscription. Our average PO sign-off went from 2 days to 14 minutes. Suppliers love us again."

FREQUENTLY ASKED

Questions, answered.

How fast can we go live?

Self-service signup creates your tenant in under 60 seconds — you can be operational the same day. A typical Professional-tier rollout (configuration, data import, training) takes 1-4 weeks. Enterprise rollouts run 4-8 weeks depending on data volume.

Where does my data live? Can I keep it in-country?

Yes. Pick your residency at signup. Kenyan tenants default to KE-1 (iColo Nairobi) and KE-2 (Safaricom Karen). Ugandan, Tanzanian, and Rwandan tenants can pin to EA-1 (Mombasa). South African tenants pin to ZA-1 (Cape Town). Enterprise gets dedicated database schemas; Platinum gets dedicated infrastructure with bring-your-own-key (BYOK) encryption that even we cannot bypass.

What happens if we want to leave?

Cancel any time from the in-app billing page. We deliver a full data export (CSV + JSON + PDF + database dump) within 24 hours, no fee. Data is preserved for 30 days, then cryptographically shredded. No exit fees, ever.

How does this compare to Odoo or Zoho?

Astrametric is roughly half the 5-year TCO of either, faster on every screen, and ships KE compliance, AI Copilot, native mobile, and WhatsApp approvals out of the box — capabilities that Odoo and Zoho require expensive partner add-ons or paid upgrades for. See the side-by-side comparison above.

Can we customise it?

Yes — three layers of customisation. Tenant admins can configure fields, forms, reports, and workflows with no code via Studio. Enterprise and Platinum tenants can deploy sandboxed JavaScript plugins. And if you have an in-house team, full APIs are available for everything.

What about training?

Astrametric ships with in-app guided tours, a structured Training Academy with certifications, a sandbox tenant for safe practice, and gamification (badges, leaderboards) that lifts adoption by 30-50% based on our customer data. Professional includes 4 hours of guided onboarding; Enterprise includes a 40-hour structured programme.

Which countries are supported today?

Phase 1 (live now): Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, with Rwanda in beta. Each has native tax-authority integration, mobile money rails, and statutory payroll. Phase 2 (2026): Ethiopia, Nigeria, Ghana. Phase 3 (2027+): South Africa, Egypt, and select Global-South partners. Multi-currency, multi-tax, and multi-language are built in regardless of where your tenant is pinned.

Can a single tenant operate across multiple countries?

Yes. A multi-branch / multi-company tenant on Professional or higher can have entities in different countries. Each entity gets its own tax rules, payroll, statutory filings, and mobile money rails — while consolidating financials at the group level.
