Why Kenyan businesses pick Mackdish
A Nairobi team, fixed quotes written before work starts, builds that stay fast on mobile data, and M-Pesa handled properly.
We're down the road, not overseas
Nairobi-based team you can meet in person. Site visits for schools and shops are included in every system project.
Fixed-scope quotes
You get a written scope and a fixed price before work starts. No surprise invoices halfway through.
Built for Kenyan phones
Every build is tested on mid-range Android over mobile data — not just on a fast office laptop.
M-Pesa is standard, not an add-on
Daraja STK push, paybill reconciliation and till integration are things we've shipped dozens of times.
97% delivered on time
Two-week check-ins with a working build you can click, so nothing is a surprise at handover.
Support in your timezone
WhatsApp support group per project, answered during Kenyan business hours by the people who built it.
Ready-made option
Already running: SomaFin
SomaFin is a treasury dashboard built for Kenyan secondary schools, giving bursars and principals a clear view of all three statutory school funds in one place.
