Software company in Uganda that builds systems you own
We are a Kampala custom software development team building loan, SACCO, school, POS and ERP systems around how your business already works: your products, your prices, your Mobile Money, your reports. Written scope, fixed quote, and every line of code is yours.
Fixed quote Typical range for a custom system Scoped to your workflow, users and integrations. One fixed quote before work starts, paid 50/25/25.
Systems we actually build
Not templates with your logo dropped on. These are the system types we scope, design and build, each shaped around one organisation's real workflow. Open any system below for its features and how we build it.
Loan management and money lending
Loan products, applications, approvals, disbursement, repayment schedules, penalties and arrears follow-up, with Mobile Money collections posted to each loan and portfolio reports a lender can act on.
SACCO and microfinance
Member accounts, savings, loan issuance, interest schedules and repayment tracking with statements members can trust and auditors can follow.
School management
Student records, fees, results, attendance and parent SMS in one system. Fees collected by MTN and Airtel Money post straight to each pupil's balance.
ERP and operations
Tie sales, stock, procurement, staff and accounts into one source of truth so you stop stitching numbers across notebooks, WhatsApp and three spreadsheets.
POS and inventory
Cloud point of sale that tracks stock in real time across branches, flags low items and reconciles cash, card and Mobile Money at close. This is what our own Growth Informer Business platform does live.
Hospital and clinic
Patient records, appointments, billing, pharmacy stock and insurance claims built for the load and workflow of a real Ugandan clinic or hospital.
Wallets and payments
Wallets, payouts and ledgers that have to balance exactly. Our own Moyo Pay is a dual-currency wallet on a double-entry ledger with Mobile Money and USSD.
HR, payroll and CRM
Staff records, leave, approvals and payroll inputs, plus customer pipelines and follow-ups, built around your own policies instead of a product's defaults.
SaaS platforms
Multi-tenant products you can sell to others, with subscriptions, roles and dashboards. We build these in production, like Karibu, the travel SaaS running at usekaribu.com.
What separates a reliable software company
A polished demo and a low price tell you very little. These six things tell you whether a software company in Uganda will still be useful to you a year after launch. They are the standards we hold ourselves to, and a fair list to hold anyone else to.
Scope in writing
Before any code, your workflow, user roles, reports and integrations are written down and signed off. That document is what the quote, the build and the final check are measured against.
Fixed quote, staged payments
One fixed figure before work starts, paid 50/25/25: half to begin, a quarter when you see the system working, a quarter at completion. Any change in scope is priced openly first.
Working demos
You see real screens running on your own data while the system is built, so gaps surface before launch instead of after your staff depend on it.
You own it
The source code, database, domain and accounts are handed over to you. No lock-in, and no fee to reach your own numbers or to move to another team.
Maintenance after launch
Fixes, new reports and changes as you grow, priced before the work is done or covered by an optional monthly support retainer. Always ask who answers when something breaks.
Proof you can open
We run our own software: Growth Informer Business, Moyo Pay and Karibu, alongside 37 live website and app builds in our portfolio. Ask any company for live systems, not screenshots.

Built for Ugandan reality, not a Silicon Valley demo
Your staff are on mid-range Android over patchy data, and your customers pay by Mobile Money. Every system we ship is engineered for that from day one.
- Mobile Money native: MTN and Airtel Money collections and payouts built in, not bolted on, with automatic reconciliation to each transaction.
- Android-first and light: fast on cheap phones and slow connections, with offline handling so a dropped network does not stop a sale or a class register.
- Integrations that matter: connect to EFRIS, SMS gateways, bank feeds, payment aggregators and any tool you already depend on.
- Automation that saves hours: auto reminders, scheduled reports, low-stock alerts and receipts so your team stops doing by hand what software should do.
- Full data ownership: you keep the code, the database, the domain and the accounts. No lock-in, no hostage fees to see your own numbers.
What custom software costs in Uganda
Price follows scope: the modules you need, how many user roles and branches you run, which integrations such as Mobile Money are involved, and how much data moves from spreadsheets or an old system. Typical ranges are shown for your region below.
| System | Typical range | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Custom business system or ERP | Businesses whose workflow no ready product fits | |
| POS and inventory system | Shops, pharmacies, restaurants and multi-branch retail | |
| SACCO management system | SACCOs and member-based savings groups | |
| Loan management or money lending system | Money lenders and microfinance teams | |
| Ongoing support retainer | per month | Teams that want fixes and improvements handled every month after launch |
A quote covers the build, testing, data migration, staff training and handover, with hosting quoted alongside it so nothing appears later as a surprise.

Proof we ship real software
We do not just build for clients, we run our own products. Growth Informer Business is our live cloud POS, inventory and business-management platform. Moyo Pay is our own dual-currency wallet on a double-entry ledger with Mobile Money and USSD. Karibu is a travel SaaS at usekaribu.com. White Gorilla Electronics runs on a commerce platform we built, one of 37 live website and app builds in our portfolio.
Questions before you commit
It depends on the modules, user roles, integrations and data migration your system needs. Systems like POS, school, SACCO, loan management or ERP are custom-quoted, and you get one fixed figure in writing before any work starts, paid 50/25/25. No open-ended 'contact us' pricing games.
A written scope and fixed quote before work starts, payments tied to working demos, the source code and data handed to you, a clear plan for maintenance after launch, and live software you can open and test. Our own Growth Informer Business platform and our Karibu travel SaaS both run in production today.
A focused system such as a POS or school portal typically runs a few weeks to a couple of months. Larger ERP or multi-branch builds take longer. We agree the timeline and milestones in writing before we begin.
You pay 50% to start, 25% at the review stage when you see the system working, and the final 25% at completion. You are never asked to pay everything up front for something you have not seen.
You do, completely. The source code, the database, the domain and every account are yours. We hand them over so you are never locked in or paying us just to access your own data.
Yes. After handover we handle fixes, new reports and changes as your business grows, each priced openly before the work is done, or on an optional monthly support retainer. Because you own the code and data, you are also free to move maintenance to another team at any time.
Yes. We build loan management and money lending systems to a written scope, covering loan products, repayment schedules, Mobile Money collections and portfolio reports.
