Built in Kenya, for Kenya
SmartHR Kenya was born out of a simple observation: Kenyan SMEs deserve HR software that understands their reality. Most international HR platforms ignore Kenyan statutory requirements, M-Pesa payments, and the connectivity challenges of managing field teams across the country.
We set out to build a complete HRMS that handles everything from PAYE and NSSF calculations to GPS attendance for security guards in Turkana and field sales reps in Mombasa. A platform that works offline when coverage is patchy, pays salaries via M-Pesa, and sends payslips through WhatsApp.
Today, SmartHR Kenya serves businesses across security, field sales, NGOs, construction, cleaning companies, schools, and logistics, helping them manage their workforce with confidence and compliance.
Our Mission
