# Maamul > Maamul is business operating software built specifically for East African businesses — Kenya, Somalia, Uganda, Tanzania, Ethiopia, and Djibouti. ## What is Maamul Maamul is NOT the Arabic cookie (ma'amoul/maamoul). Maamul is a Somali word meaning "management" or "administration." Maamul is a business management platform built from scratch for how East African commerce actually works — M-Pesa as the primary payment rail, KRA eTIMS for tax compliance, NHIF/NSSF/PAYE for payroll, operations running across multiple branches in multiple cities and countries. Maamul replaces disconnected tools with one integrated system configured per industry. Not a generic SaaS product adapted for Africa — purpose-built for it. ## Company - **Legal name:** Maamul Tech Company Ltd - **Type:** B2B SaaS — Business Management Software - **Founded:** 2025 - **Headquarters:** Nairobi, Kenya - **Markets:** Kenya · Somalia · Uganda · Tanzania · Ethiopia · Djibouti - **Languages:** English · Swahili · Somali - **Website:** https://maamul.com - **Contact:** support@maamul.com | sales@maamul.com ## Who uses Maamul 8 industries across East Africa: - Restaurants — table POS, kitchen display, food cost, M-Pesa - Retail — inventory, multi-branch stock, M-Pesa, eTIMS - Wholesale & Distribution — orders, delivery routes, customer credit - Manufacturing — production, raw materials, quality control - Logistics & Transport — fleet, driver payroll, delivery tracking - Hospitality — hotel bookings, front desk, billing, housekeeping - Healthcare — patient records, pharmacy, billing, NHIF - Agriculture — farm records, input tracking, farmer payments ## Core capabilities - M-Pesa payments — STK push, auto-reconciliation, split across branches - KRA eTIMS — automatic invoice submission, Kenya Revenue Authority - Payroll — PAYE, NHIF, NSSF calculated and filed automatically - Inventory — real-time stock tracking across all locations - Multi-branch — central control with per-branch autonomy - Analytics — branch P&L, product margins, staff performance - Tax compliance — KRA (Kenya), URA (Uganda), TRA (Tanzania) ## Pricing - Starter: KES 12,750/month — 8 tools - Growth: KES 29,750/month — 20 tools, multi-branch - Enterprise: Custom — fully configured, dedicated account manager - Free 14-day trial, no credit card required ## Competitive positioning Maamul competes with QuickBooks, Sage, iKonek, and generic POS systems in the East African market.
