Vortex Fuel Card — NFC fuel cards + complete station management.Explore →
ERP, HR & payroll, learning and AI platforms engineered for how business actually works across Africa — tax compliance localized per market (KRA TIMS/eTIMS in Kenya), M-Pesa and other mobile payments built in, statutory payroll exact to each country's law, and AI that can run entirely on your own servers.
500+ teams across East Africa run their business on Vortex
Our flagship VortexERP comes in two editions — Enterprise and Lite — with a platform for every other job around it. Each one is shaped by the same realities you work in: local tax rules, mobile-money payments, payroll law exact to the shilling, and days when the internet simply isn't there.
The complete operating system for distribution and trading businesses: finance & GL, warehouse management with mobile scanning, manufacturing, predictive replenishment, customer & supplier portals — with KRA TIMS/eTIMS and M-Pesa plus other mobile payments woven into the core.
Explore VortexERP → VortexERP · Lite editionFREE 30-DAY TRIALOne platform, fifteen industries: schools (CBE & Cambridge), garages, dealerships, restaurants & hotels, pharmacies & clinics, salons, retail & wholesale, container freight stations, forex bureaus, audit firms, practices, NGOs, manufacturing and property — each with its own tailored workspace. Self-service too: create your own account and try everything free for 30 days, no credit card.
Explore ERP Lite → People & payModern HRMS with Kenyan statutory payroll computed exactly — PAYE bands, NSSF, SHA, Housing Levy — plus leave, recruiting, goals and micro-learning.
Explore HR & Payroll → Enterprise AIOn-premise AI intelligence for any business — lenders, insurers, retailers, distributors, manufacturers. Explainable risk scores, plain-English questions over your own data, forecasts and one-click AI board packs.
Explore MicroLens → Learning platformA white-label LMS with courses, quizzes, certificates, gamification, compliance & AML training, CPD tracking and an AI tutor grounded in your own content.
Explore Vortex eLearning → Retail point of saleOur most battle-tested platform — a decade running supermarket lanes and chain stores. It keeps selling even when the internet is down, with KRA TIMS/eTIMS plus certified fiscal printers, every tender from cards to M-Pesa to vouchers — plus an eCommerce add-on that puts the same stock online for delivery and click & collect.
Explore VortexPOS → Strategy executionA balanced-scorecard platform that turns boardroom strategy into Monday-morning action — cascade objectives from corporate to departments to individuals, track KPIs with live traffic lights, visualise cause-and-effect on strategy maps, and run the initiatives meant to shift those numbers.
Explore Vortex BSC → Fuel cards & station managementNEWTap-and-go NFC fuel cards for petroleum distributors, stations and fleets — unclonable smart cards with dual-PIN security, spend rules enforced at the pump, prepaid M-Pesa top-ups or postpaid fleet accounts, loyalty and SMS e-receipts. And it runs the entire station: deliveries, tanks & dip readings, pumps, shift close and end-of-day reports.
Explore Vortex Fuel Card →Forty-plus modules across seven platforms — switch on what you need, when you need it. And because it's one family, they all talk to each other. Tap any module for a quick explainer.
No per-module price games. Pick a platform, switch on your modules, and grow into the rest when you're ready.
Goods arrive, pass QC, land in bins. Orders wave-pick FEFO, manifests print in reverse stop order, and every invoice signs itself with KRA as it leaves the gate.
Explore VortexERP →The auto-timetabler resolves clashes in minutes. Teachers open their day on a slim workspace, the bursar receipts fees to M-Pesa, and report cards explain competencies, not just ranks.
Explore ERP Lite → Start your free trial →The till doesn't rely on the internet — it trades straight through the outage, fiscalizes every receipt with KRA, takes cards, M-Pesa and vouchers in any split — and closes with a Z report that balances to the shilling.
Explore VortexPOS →Commissions land from the ERP, gross recomputes, and PAYE, NSSF, SHA and Housing Levy come out right — every band, every relief, every employee.
Explore HR & Payroll →Explainable scores with factor breakdowns, plain-English questions over your whole database, and a board pack that writes itself from the actual figures — all on your own server. Shown here on a loan book; the same engine scores insurance lapses, retail debtor drift and machine downtime.
Explore MicroLens →Mandatory courses recertify on schedule, policies collect signed attestations, and learners actually come back — because the platform plays like a game and helps like a tutor.
Explore Vortex eLearning →Corporate objectives cascade down the org chart, every KPI carries a traffic light, and initiatives trace back to the strategy they serve. Reviews shrink; execution compounds.
Explore Vortex BSC →Customers tap unclonable NFC cards, PINs and product rules are enforced at the pump, e-receipts land by SMS in seconds — and the platform runs the whole station: deliveries into tanks, dip readings, pump totalizers reconciled against sales, and an end-of-day that balances every drawer.
Explore Vortex Fuel Card →From the corner office to the server room, everyone gets a view built for their job — and one version of the numbers to argue from.
One dashboard, a daily AI briefing, and an early-warning centre that flags problems while they're still cheap.
Books that balance by construction, month-end in days, TIMS/eTIMS and iTax handled, board packs that write themselves.
Scan-driven warehouse, FEFO picking, replenishment that predicts stock-outs, and a fleet that reports in.
On-premise or cloud, open data you can query, no per-API ransom — and AI that never gets write access.
Imported software assumes stable internet, foreign tax rules and dollar payrolls. We build the other way around.
Tax compliance localized for each market we serve — KRA TIMS/eTIMS invoice signing, VAT & withholding with iTax exports in Kenya, IFRS-structured statements everywhere. In the box, not a bolt-on.
M-Pesa STK push at the till, Airtel Money and other mobile wallets, customer-portal payments — receipts flow straight into the ledger and the bank reconciliation.
Ask questions in plain English, get daily briefings, early-warning alerts and drafted follow-ups — the AI never writes to your books without a human.
VortexERP Enterprise, HR & Payroll, VortexPOS and MicroLens AI run on-premise or in your cloud; VortexERP Lite is fully cloud-hosted for zero-maintenance access anywhere. Our AI can run on local models — nothing leaves your building unless you choose it.
Tills, field apps and warehouse scanners that keep working with no connection, plus branch sync when it returns — operations move even through outages.
Sensible defaults, in-app help & manuals, guided onboarding and support on East Africa Time. No armies of consultants.
Vortex platforms run businesses across East Africa — and in a growing number of African countries beyond. Compliance, payroll and payments are localized per market, so the software fits wherever you operate.
Engineering, implementation and support home base — the people who write the code answer the phone.
Deployments across the region, with tax, payroll and mobile-money packs localized per country.
More African markets every year — deployed remotely or on-site, on your servers or in the cloud.
East Africa Time working hours, in-app manuals everywhere, and remote support wherever you trade.

Every Vortex platform ships with embedded AI: natural-language questions answered with real SQL over your own data, daily executive briefings, an early-warning centre watching cash, stock, debtors and fleet — and board packs that write themselves from the actual figures.
Under the friendly surface is serious machinery — a platform designed to plug into what you already run, stay up when it matters, and give IT the control and visibility they expect from enterprise software.

On your servers or ours. Data migrated, staff trained with in-app guides, and compliance switched on from day one.
Local support, continuous upgrades and an AI layer that keeps finding money you're leaving on the table.
A distribution business ran month-end from spreadsheets across three branches. With one GL, bank feeds and automated TIMS/eTIMS, close time collapsed — and the board pack now writes itself.
A three-campus school group used to spend the holidays fighting timetable clashes. The constraint-based generator now produces a clash-free draft in minutes — teachers review, lock and go.
A microfinance bank pointed MicroLens at its loan book. The risk radar surfaces deteriorating clients months early, so officers intervene with catch-up plans instead of provisions.
