One data layer
03 / 06
Modules that actually talk 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.
01
Hire to pay
Live- 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.
02
Request to pay
Roadmap- 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.
03
Trip to invoice
Live- Order
- dispatch
- POD
- settlement
- customer invoice
With the Logistics vertical, completed trips flow into billing and collections on the same finance module as payroll.
Platform architecture
04 / 06
One core. Vertical packs on top.
One system, one login, no integration project, verticals are packs layered on the shared platform, not separate products.
00
Stride Core
Shared platform layer, always on.
Who it is for
05 / 06
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 to 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.

FAQ
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.
