Features

Everything your sales team needs

A complete CRM, built around how Tanzanian businesses actually sell — across walk-ins, WhatsApp, phone calls, and field visits.

Visual Sales Pipeline

Drag-and-drop deals through stages you define. See every rep's pipeline at a glance.

WhatsApp + SMS Inbox

WhatsApp Business + SMS gateways unified into one inbox; every message logged to the right contact.

M-Pesa Payment Links

Quotations send with M-Pesa / Tigo Pesa / Airtel Money payment links. Customer taps; the deal closes itself.

Lead Assignment

Auto-route leads by territory, product, or rep capacity. No more "I thought you were calling them."

TRA VFD Invoicing

One click converts a deal to a TRA-compliant invoice. Fiscal receipt transmitted to TRA instantly.

Forecasting & Reports

Per-stage win rates, rep performance, and pipeline health — without exporting to Excel.

Simple Process

From first message to closed deal

A complete sales motion built around Tanzanian customer behaviour — WhatsApp-first, mobile-money-first, TRA-compliant by default.

In practice

What CRM looks like in practice

Illustrative scenarios drawn from the operations Tawala CRM is designed to support. Named customer case studies will be published as customers sign off.

"Most lead conversations in Tanzania happen on WhatsApp. Pulling those threads back into a CRM where each is tied to a deal is the difference between losing leads and closing them."

Sales manager

Mobile-money agent network · Arusha

"A quotation with an embedded M-Pesa payment link converts faster than one waiting for a bank transfer. Tanzanian buyers tap once and the cash arrives the same day."

P

Pharmacy owner

Dar es Salaam

"Multi-city sales is where territory routing pays back its setup. Leads from Mbeya should reach the Mbeya rep — not the head-office inbox three days later."

Why Tawala

Built around how Tanzanian businesses actually sell

Most CRMs were designed for the US or Europe. Once you add TRA VFD, three mobile-money networks, and field-based agents covering Mwanza to Mtwara, the gaps show up fast. Tawala starts where they stop.

TRA VFD on every invoice

Real-time fiscal receipts to TRA. No separate device, no end-of-day reconciliation panic.

M-Pesa, Tigo, Airtel built in

Quotations carry payment links. Customers pay; CRM updates the deal. No manual work.

WhatsApp Business native

Your reps already live in WhatsApp. Tawala lives there too — every message logged automatically.

24/7 Tanzania-based support

Swahili and English. Phone, WhatsApp, on-site visits across Tanzania.

FAQ

Common questions

Does Tawala CRM work offline?

Yes — the mobile app keeps working for up to 8 hours offline (deal updates, notes, photos, voice memos). Everything syncs the moment connection returns. Important for field sales in lower-connectivity regions.

How do I import customers from my existing system?

Upload an Excel/CSV with customer details. Tawala auto-detects fields (name, phone, email, company, last contact, etc.) and you confirm the mapping in a single screen. Larger imports get hands-on help from our team.

Can different reps see different customers?

Yes — role-based permissions and territory rules. A rep in Arusha sees only Arusha leads (or whatever scope you define). Managers see everything. Owners get a global view.

Does it work on phones and tablets?

Yes. The Tawala mobile app is purpose-built for Android (where most Tanzanian sales reps are) and works on iOS too. Web app for managers and admins.

How long is the free trial?

14 days, full access to every CRM feature. No credit card required to start.

Can I cancel anytime?

Month-to-month plans cancel anytime. Annual plans don't auto-renew unless you tell us to.

What if I outgrow CRM and need other modules?

Add Inventory, Finance, HR/Payroll, Projects, Wakala, or any other module à la carte. Pricing prorates. Same login, same data, no migration.

Where is Tawala based?

Dar es Salaam. Our entire support, engineering, and customer-success team is local.
