Frequently Asked Questions

Got questions? We've got answers.

Where to start, depending on what is costing you money

Tawala is one platform, but nobody adopts all of it on day one. Businesses start with the module that fixes the thing that is bleeding, then add the rest. These are the five places Tanzanian businesses usually begin.

You are selling, and the receipts are the problem

If TRA VFD receipting, multiple tills or mobile-money reconciliation is the daily pain, start with Tawala POS for TRA VFD receipting and mobile money. It keeps selling when the connection drops, queues the fiscal receipt, and matches every M-Pesa, Tigo Pesa and Airtel Money settlement to the till at close of day. Retailers and wholesalers usually pair it with multi-branch inventory with landed-cost tracking.

You have staff, and payroll is eating a week a month

PAYE, NSSF, NHIF, SDL and WCF all move whenever a salary does, and they have to agree with each other and with what you filed. Automate PAYE and statutory payroll for your whole team with Tawala HR & Payroll — payslips, bank file and every statutory schedule come out of one run. Try the maths first with the free Tanzania PAYE calculator or the full employer-cost payroll calculator.

You are invoicing, but you do not know what you are owed

Chasing debtors from memory is the most expensive habit in Tanzanian business. Tawala CRM ages every customer, sends staged SMS and WhatsApp reminders and keeps signed agreements on the record; Tawala Finance keeps the VAT, withholding tax and cash position live behind it. When the year closes, Tawala Accounting produces the returns from the same ledger instead of a reconstruction.

Your money is sitting in stock, jobs or vehicles

Working capital hides in different places depending on the business. Inventory and purchase management for stock; projects and workshop job cards for billable time; fleet management for vehicles and fuel; manufacturing for bills of material and yield; real estate for rent rolls and arrears; hotel management for occupancy, folios and the hotel levy; logistics for trips and turnaround; and Wakala management for mobile-money agents. Browse the full set under Tawala solutions.

You would rather see it configured for your sector

Every sector carries a second regulator and a different working-capital cycle. See the setup for retail and wholesale, pharmacies, manufacturing, hospitality, schools, construction, logistics, agribusiness, workshops, real estate, finance and microfinance, ICT or energy and mining — or start from Tawala by industry.

Or just use the free tools first

No signup, no account, nothing stored. The most-used ones are the PAYE calculator, the 18% VAT calculator, the NSSF calculator, the withholding tax calculator, the all-taxes TRA calculator, the TRA VFD compliance checklist, the Tanzania invoice template, the TRA-format receipt book template and the power of attorney sample. All 80 are listed on the free Tanzania business tools hub.

The Problem

Tanzanian businesses are running on a stack of half-fitting tools

Excel for invoicing, an EFD machine for TRA, three apps for mobile money, a notebook for inventory, and a different spreadsheet for payroll. Each piece works alone; nothing works together.

1

Five tools that don't talk

Sales in one system, accounting in another, payroll in a third. Your team spends hours reconciling at month-end. The data is always slightly wrong.

2

International tools ignore Tanzania

QuickBooks doesn't issue TRA VFD. Salesforce doesn't accept M-Pesa. Sage doesn't compute NSSF. You bolt on three more tools to fill the gaps.

3

Your team works around the software

Cashiers run two screens. Bookkeepers re-enter data nightly. Owners can't see real numbers until weeks after the fact.

How It Works

One platform. Built for Tanzania. From day one.

1

Sign up and configure (day 1)
