Software written where it is actually used.
Kit is built in Kampala, for businesses that have spent two decades being sold systems designed for somewhere else, and then being told that their way of trading is the thing that is wrong.

One system for the counter, the stock room, the books and the people.
Kit POS runs the counter, the stock room and the books for retailers, wholesalers, pharmacies, restaurants, hotels, gyms, laundries and manufacturers across East and West Africa. It does the things a business here actually does: several currencies in one day, several branches on one licence, EFRIS fiscalisation that has to match the authority exactly, and a connection that comes and goes.
Kit POS Desktop puts the till on the counter machine and keeps selling when the line drops. Kit Business puts today's numbers in the owner's pocket. Kit Business TV puts them on the wall.
Kit Accounting is free in every plan: every sale, purchase and payment posts itself, so the P&L is ready before the accountant asks. Kit AI is the newest part: an assistant that can read your business, and only ever the part of it you personally have permission to read. Included in every plan with a weekly token allowance; extra usage draws on your business credits.
We are Kit Africa Ltd, a Ugandan company based in Kampala. We answer our own email.
Three unfashionable decisions we are proud of.
The permission boundary is the whole product.
Kit AI holds no permissions of its own. Every record it touches is checked against the permissions of the person who asked, using the same gates the rest of Kit runs. When it refuses, it says which rule refused, because "I cannot help with that" is not an answer anyone can act on.
The number you watch is the number on the invoice.
Prices are in shillings with the VAT shown. Accounting is free, not a trial. Kit AI is in every plan with a weekly allowance you can see; extra usage draws on credits you already bought, which are never revalued.
On hardware you own, on a connection you do not control.
Not a browser tab that needs perfect bandwidth. A till application on the machine at the counter, working whether or not the tower down the road is having a good day, and syncing when it is.
Not a pilot programme. A specification.
Traders, first. The hardware wholesaler in Kikuubo, the pharmacy chain in Nairobi, the cocoa buyer in Kumasi. Real margins on real volume, and no finance department to ask.
In your language of business. Shillings, cedis, naira, rand. Fiscal rules that change at every border. Suppliers who invoice in dollars and customers who pay in cash and mobile money.
