The platform

Everything your businessruns on.

Stride is a horizontal operations platform — not just HR software. Payroll is the wedge every business needs, but finance, procurement, documents, projects and admin share the same org chart, employee records and approval flows.

  • Six core modules on one login — all live in production
  • Kenyan payroll, M-Pesa disbursements and statutory filing on the core
  • Enable modules as you grow — no forced bundles or shelfware

1Who it is for

Built for teams that have outgrown spreadsheets.

If payroll lives in Excel, approvals happen on WhatsApp and finance reconciles at month-end, Stride replaces the patchwork — without an eighteen-month ERP rollout.

15–300 staff

Growing SMEs and mid-market operators who need structure without enterprise complexity or per-seat pricing that scales out of control.

Multi-department teams

HR, finance and operations leaders who need one source of truth — not three systems that never reconcile at month-end.

Regulated organisations

SACCOs, fintechs, logistics firms and consultancies with statutory obligations, audit trails and multi-entity structures.

2Core modules

Six modules. One platform.

3One data layer

Modules that actuallytalk to each other.

One employee record, one approval chain, one ledger — so a payslip, purchase order or trip settlement is never re-keyed in a second system.

Hire to pay

Recruit → onboard → payroll run → M-Pesa disbursement → ledger

New hires move from offer letter to first payslip on shared employee records — no duplicate profiles across HR and finance.

Request to pay

Purchase request → approval → LPO → GRN → vendor payment

Procurement is on the roadmap — the intended flow is approvals feeding finance when goods are received, with a full audit trail from who asked to who paid.

Trip to invoice

Order → dispatch → POD → settlement → customer invoice

With the Logistics vertical, completed trips flow into billing and collections on the same finance module as payroll.

7FAQ

Questions, answered.

Straight answers about compliance, modules, and getting started.

Most HR platforms either focus narrowly on payroll or are foreign tools retrofitted for Kenya. Stride is built from the ground up for East Africa — M-Pesa, KRA, NSSF and SHIF aren't add-ons — and grows beyond HR into finance, procurement, projects and industry-specific modules like fleet management, all on one login.
