The workforce platform built for how Africa actually works.
KaziPeople is more than HR software. Manage employees, payroll, leave and benefits in one place, then go further: connect your people to financial products like salary advances, loans and insurance, and connect your payroll to banks, mobile money and the systems you already use.
DanaAI assistant built inMost organizations manage their most important asset with their least reliable tools.
HR managers, payroll officers, and executives across East Africa spend their most valuable hours on administration instead of the work that actually matters.
Reconciles until midnight on the 24th, every month, because payroll data lives in five different places.
Spends her Mondays answering the same question: "How many leave days do I have left?"
Wants to understand his workforce but receives a PDF report that was assembled last week.
The tools that exist weren't built for here. Global platforms are priced for Fortune 500 companies. Generic tools are too shallow to scale. There has been no platform built for East African organizations at the quality level they deserve.
Run your workforce. Connect your systems. Build what comes next.
One platform, from HR operations to payday to financial services. Every module connected.

A high-level view of the KaziPeople platform.
The product, working.
Month-end closes in hours, and salaries actually move.
Automated payroll with statutory compliance for Tanzania, Kenya, and Rwanda. When you approve, KaziPeople pays your people via bank, mobile money, or a ready-to-upload bank file, with a full audit trail on every transaction.
Connects to the tools your team already uses.
KaziPeople is designed to fit into your organization, not to force your organization to fit around it. Pay salaries through banks, M-Pesa, Selcom and AzamPay; sync with the tools your team already uses; and where no integration exists, the open API makes it possible.
Send payslip notifications, leave approvals, and HR announcements directly to employee WhatsApp, the channel your team already uses.
HR alerts, leave request approvals, and Dana AI responses delivered into your Slack workspace. Act without switching apps.
KaziPeople notifications and approval workflows embedded in Teams channels. Managers approve leave requests without leaving their flow.
Single sign-on via Google, leave events synced to Google Calendar, and document storage connected to Google Drive.
Sign in with Microsoft accounts, sync leave to Outlook Calendar, and store HR documents in SharePoint or OneDrive.
Pay salaries, loans and advances straight to employees' M-Pesa wallets. Once payroll is approved, funds move to mobile money, where your people already are.
One connection, every rail: pay any bank account or mobile wallet (M-Pesa, Airtel Money, Mixx by Yas, Halopesa) through your own Selcom merchant account.
Pay directly from your NMB corporate account via NMB's open banking API. Salaries debit your account and reach employees at any bank.
Disburse salaries from your CRDB account through secure bank file exchange, generated automatically from approved payroll and ready for upload.
Salary disbursement directly via Azam's payment network. Once payroll is approved in KaziPeople, funds move to employee accounts with no manual bank file required.
Import and export employee data on a schedule — from a CSV or your HRIS/ERP — with saved field mappings, transforms, and dry-run validation. Set the cron and it runs itself.
Managed file exchange: drop a file on your SFTP server and we pick it up, or we push roster exports to yours. Encrypted credentials, on the schedule you choose.
Pull and push employees, leave and more over a documented REST API — OAuth 2.0 client credentials, cursor pagination, and stable error codes.
Subscribe to events and react in real time. HMAC-signed, verifiable deliveries so downstream systems stay in sync the moment something changes.
Your data is your data.
Workforce data, from salaries to performance records to personal information, is among the most sensitive data an organization holds. We treat it accordingly.
