Integration projects everywhere share the same fundamentals, but businesses in Kenya often face a particular mix of conditions. Planning for them early prevents surprises.
A patchwork of tools
Many businesses run a mix of spreadsheets, a local accounting package, an online store and mobile payment tools. The challenge is less about technology than about agreeing a single source of truth for each type of data.
Payment connections
Mobile money and card payments are central to many sales processes. Connecting payment providers to invoices and orders removes a great deal of manual reconciliation, but each provider has its own API rules and testing process.
Compliance requirements
Tax and invoicing obligations, including e-invoicing, can affect system design. Requirements change, so confirm current rules with a qualified advisor and keep the design flexible.
Connectivity and resilience
Integrations should tolerate interruptions: queue data, retry safely, and alert someone when something fails.
Skills and support
Choose solutions your team can understand and support. Clear documentation and sensible, conventional design matter more than clever engineering.
