HR & Payroll · Built for Kenya
Kenyan payroll rules keep changing. Beep HR & Payroll works out PAYE, NSSF, SHIF, the affordable housing levy and NITA for you, with the rules updated when the law changes. Approve the pay run, send each employee a password-protected payslip and download your P10 for iTax. Your staff get their payslips, P9 and leave on their phone with BeepShwari, plus step challenges that get the whole team moving: departments race to a goal like Lake Naivasha, with a live leaderboard, badges and a prize.
Industry apps
Ready-made apps for the businesses we serve every day, each with M-Pesa, SMS and KRA eTIMS built in.
Apps on every phone
Every Beep industry app comes with a phone app for the people you serve. Tenants pay rent, parents follow their children, members see their savings and staff get their payslips and join step challenges, while you run it all from the Beep Business App.
Android and iPhone apps, coming soon to Google Play and the App Store. Each business has its own system: your customers add you in the app with your link or QR code, and their details stay with you, never pooled with anyone else’s.
Plugins & integrations
Ready-made plugins and integrations for your CRM, online shop, spreadsheets, payments and AI assistants. No code needed.
Every product
Email marketing, bookings, e-signatures, HR & payroll, ERP & POS, rent and school apps, USSD, voice and guest Wi-Fi. All run for you in our cloud, so there’s nothing to install: one provider, one support team, billed in shillings.
Bulk SMS
SMS reaches every customer, smartphone or not, with no app or data bundle needed. Send alerts, reminders, OTPs and promotions from your own branded sender ID, with live delivery reports and credits that never expire. From KSh 0.16 per SMS.
New · WhatsApp Business API
Get a verified business profile with your logo, send order updates with buttons, broadcast offers and let a chatbot answer questions day and night. We handle Meta onboarding and template approvals, and if a WhatsApp message can’t be delivered it can go out as an SMS instead.
Online bookings & meetings
Share one booking link on WhatsApp, your website or Instagram. Customers pick a free slot, it lands in your calendar, and confirmations and reminders go out on WhatsApp and SMS automatically. Meet online with built-in video, transcripts and AI summaries.
Documents & e-Sign
Send contracts, quotes, loan forms and agreements for signature in a few clicks. Clients sign on their phone, everyone gets the signed copy, and you can see who has signed and nudge those who haven’t. Create documents, spreadsheets, forms and slides in the same place.
