Why Stride

Payroll,financeandcomplianceononeplatform,soyourteamcanstopreconcilingandgetbacktorunningthebusiness.

Why we built it

Global ERPs werenever built for here.

Most global platforms were built for somewhere else, then adapted for Kenya: M-Pesa bolted on, statutory rules approximated, support queued in another timezone. Stride flips that: a horizontal core every business runs on, with vertical packs that add industry depth. No separate system, no integration project.

We build and deploy Stride for SACCOs, fintechs, HR consultancies and logistics operators: organisations that have outgrown spreadsheets but can’t justify an eighteen-month ERP rollout.

Built for your industry

Then it gets specific.

Every business runs the same core: people, payroll, finance. Stride adds the work that defines your industry as a pack on the same platform. Not a second system, and not an integration project.

Compliance is not an add-on.

Statutory logic, disbursement rails and data protection are designed for how Kenyan businesses operate, not retrofitted from a global template.

Example: one month's pay run for a 120-person team

Step 1: Payroll run

Run payroll for the whole team.

Leave, attendance and allowances flow in from the same records, so the run starts complete.

1run for the whole team

Step 2: Statutory

Every deduction, calculated.

PAYE, NSSF, SHIF and Housing Levy are computed on every payslip under current Kenyan rules.

4statutory deductions per payslip

Step 3: M-Pesa payout

Pay everyone in one batch.

Salaries go out as a single M-Pesa bulk batch, then reconcile back against the run.

1bulk batch for all 120 payouts

Step 4: Ledger post

Finance updates itself.

The run posts its journal straight to the ledger: expenses, statutory liabilities and net pay.

0lines re-keyed into finance

Step 5: Ready to file

Payslips out, returns ready.

Employees get payslips in self-service, and your PAYE return is exported ready for iTax.

120payslips issued to employees
