The tax-compliant, offline-first commerce suite for African retail, wholesale, distribution, and hospitality businesses.
Governments across Africa (Rwanda EBM, Kenya eTIMS, Uganda EFRIS, Ghana E-VAT, Nigeria NRS) now require every business to issue tax-authority-verified invoices in real time. The free government tools only print receipts. Global ERPs can't certify and won't work offline.
SokoFlow is a single product that runs sales, stock, and customer billing — and automatically issues the verified tax invoices your country legally demands, even when the internet is down.
- Deploy anywhere: Docker image / Docker Compose, single-tenant, on-prem, private cloud, or local server
- Sovereign data: customer data stays in the customer's infrastructure
- Fiscal-engine ready: certified adapters for RRA EBM (Rwanda), KRA eTIMS (Kenya), URA EFRIS (Uganda) — more on the roadmap
- Offline-first: transactions queue locally and resync when connectivity returns
- Zero AI: deterministic, auditable, workflow-driven, boring-by-design financial-grade software
Real demand, written into law:
| Country | Mandate | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Rwanda | EBM / EIS (VSDC / OSDC) | Mandatory for all taxable sales |
| Kenya | eTIMS (VSCU / OSCU) | Mandatory for all businesses since Sep 2023 |
| Uganda | EFRIS | Mandatory; 12 sectors since Jul 2025 |
| Ghana | E-VAT | All VAT-registered businesses by end-2024 |
| Nigeria | NRS Merchant Buyer Solution | Large taxpayers Nov 2025; phased rollout |
Non-compliance means fines, blocked VAT deductions, and exclusion from public tenders. This is not nice-to-have. It is survival.
Early stage. This repository currently contains the project scaffold (positioning, licensing, governance). The MVP is being built — see docs/ROADMAP.md.
- MVP (M0–M3): commerce core (items, stock, sales, invoices, receipts, POS, AR), offline queue, RRA EBM adapter + certification, Docker installer, licensing
- Reach (M4–M6): Kenya eTIMS adapter, pharmacy/hospitality verticals
- Scale (M7–M12): Uganda EFRIS, Tanzania/Ghana, channel-partner program
We welcome contributions from developers, founders, and operators across Africa. Start with CONTRIBUTING.md.
