Success Stories

Trusted by Tanzanian Businesses

See how businesses across Tanzania are transforming their inventory management.

"Pharmacy expiry losses are predictable and preventable. Batch tracking with expiry alerts and FIFO dispensing catches stock at risk before it has to be written off."

Dr. Amani

Pharmacy chain owner

Multi-branch · Dar es Salaam ( branches)

"Multi-warehouse stock without a unified dashboard means each branch optimises locally and the network suffers. One dashboard plus easy inter-branch transfers cuts the stockout pattern that defined operations before."

Hamisi

Construction-supplies operator

Arusha · multi-warehouse Building Supplies

"Phone-based stocktakes change the economics of inventory accuracy. A weekend exercise becomes a single shift; counts become routine instead of dreaded."

FAQ

Common Questions

How does barcode scanning work?

Use your phone camera or a dedicated Bluetooth scanner. The Tawala mobile app recognizes standard barcodes (EAN, UPC, Code128) and QR codes. You can also generate and print custom barcodes for items without them.

Can I track stock across multiple locations?

Yes! Create unlimited warehouses, stores, or locations. Each location has its own stock levels. Transfer stock between locations with full audit trail, and view consolidated reports across all locations.

Does it integrate with POS and sales?

Tawala Inventory is fully integrated with Tawala POS. Every sale automatically deducts from inventory. You can also connect it to your existing systems via our API.

How do automatic reorder alerts work?

Set minimum stock levels for each product. When stock drops below the threshold, you receive email, SMS, or push notifications. You can also enable automatic purchase order creation to send directly to your suppliers.

What's the pricing for inventory management?

Inventory management is included in all Tawala plans. Pricing is based on the number of users and locations. View full pricing →

Can I import my existing product list?

Yes! Import products from Excel or CSV files. Include SKUs, barcodes, prices, suppliers, and opening stock. Our team can help with data migration for larger catalogs.

The Problem

Tanzanian inventory is uniquely hard

Multi-location, multi-currency, batch-and-expiry, plus TRA-compliant fiscal receipts — most generic inventory software gives up halfway through the list.

1

Stockouts at the worst moment

You sell out of your top SKU on Friday afternoon and it takes two weeks to reorder. Meanwhile, your supplier's WhatsApp messages get buried in a group chat.

2

Dead stock eats your cash

Slow-moving inventory ties up working capital. Without ABC analysis or expiry tracking, you don't know what to write down — until the auditor finds it.

3

Branch transfers go missing

When stock moves between Dar, Mwanza, and Arusha, items 'disappear' in transit. Without serial numbers and signed transfer documents, the loss falls on whoever's on shift.

How It Works

From receiving dock to customer hand in three steps

1

Receive against a PO

Scan supplier delivery against the purchase order. Tawala matches quantities, flags overages and shortages, and updates stock — and your supplier's account — instantly.

2

Pick, pack, and ship

Sales orders generate pick lists with optimal warehouse paths. Workers scan items as they pick. Tawala blocks the order from shipping if anything's missing.

3

Reorder before you run out

Reorder points fire the moment stock dips. Either a manager approves an automatic PO or the system creates a draft for review. Stockouts become rare events, not weekly emergencies.

Built for Tanzania

Multi-location, multi-currency, multi-branch — built for Tanzania

Track stock in real time across every branch — Dar es Salaam, Mwanza, Arusha, Dodoma, Mbeya, or Zanzibar. Inter-branch transfers carry signed documents and audit trails so nothing gets lost.

Receive imports in USD, sell in TZS, and let Tawala handle the conversion using your preferred BoT rate. Batch and expiry tracking is FEFO/FIFO, with TFDA-aware controls for pharmacies and food businesses.
