Why Kenyan Businesses Are Switching to Custom Software
In today’s fast-paced digital economy, Kenyan businesses—from startups to large enterprises—are realizing that off-the-shelf software often falls short. While solutions like QuickBooks, SAP, or Microsoft Dynamics work for basic needs, they come with limitations:
- Lack of flexibility – Can’t adapt to unique business workflows.
- High long-term costs – Licensing fees, forced upgrades, and inefficiencies add up.
- Poor scalability – Struggles to handle business growth.
- Security risks – Vulnerable to breaches due to widespread use.
