We built the system we
wish existed
NuvanaPOS started with a simple observation: Kenyan shop owners are smart, hardworking people running businesses on paper, notebooks, and gut feel — not because they want to, but because nothing better was built for them.
The problem we saw
Walk into almost any retail shop in Kenya and you'll find the same thing: a notebook behind the counter, M-Pesa references scribbled on paper, a mental stock list the owner keeps in their head.
These shop owners work incredibly hard. They're up before 6 AM, serve hundreds of customers, manage suppliers, track staff — and then spend their evenings manually tallying the day's sales. They never really know if they made money. They reorder stock that's already full, run out of what sells. They grow the business on instinct alone.
Most POS software is built for Western markets — expensive, complex, requires expensive hardware, and doesn't understand M-Pesa. The few local options are clunky or designed for large enterprises.
We saw a gap, and we built NuvanaPOS to fill it.
Our mission is to give every retail shop owner in Kenya the same tools that large supermarkets take for granted — at a price that makes sense for a small business.
Built on these principles
Built for real people
We design for shop owners who didn't study technology. If it needs a manual, we redesign it.
Priced for SMEs
Big-shop tools at small-shop prices. We believe software should help you grow, not take your margin.
Your data is yours
We never sell your data. Each business is fully isolated. Backups happen automatically every day.
Mobile-first
Most of your team has a phone, not a laptop. NuvanaPOS works perfectly on the cheapest Android smartphone.
Local support
When you need help, you'll reach a real person in Kenya who understands your market and your language.
Always improving
We ship updates every week based on feedback from our users. You help build the product you need.
Built for how Kenyans actually do business
