Software solutions provider Robisearch Limited has been recognised as a leader in the creation of digital solutions that help businesses streamline work processes.

During the KEOnline Digitally Fit awards held on 24th November at the Safari Park hotel in Nairobi, the firm was awarded as Top Digitally Fit ERP and Software solutions provider for SMEs.

Some of the solutions the firm provides include a point-of-sale system that enables business owners to track the performance of their enterprises remotely, and know whether staff are being accountable.

“Somebody who runs multiple businesses could have a tough time tracking their profits and business performance, thus end up losing stock, or money with no one to account for this. The Robisearch Point of Sale system helps business owners to keep track of their stock and inventory, even when they are working remotely,” noted Robert Manyala, Director, Robisearch.

The firm has also developed a software application that enables organisations to efficiently manage client feedback. Customers can give feedback on what they like or what they want improved on via the platform. The platform then generates valuable and actionable insights that organisations can use to enhance customer experience.

“Customer feedback is critical for any organisation as this is what enables them to understand the needs and demands of their customers and respond accordingly,” noted Mr Manyala.

The firm has also developed a property management system that enables landlords, agents and property owners to manage their rentals with ease.

The system enables property owners to generate invoices and receipts of tenant payments, as well as maintain records of property occupants digitally, thus reducing the inefficiencies that come with paper-based record keeping.

The system also enables property owners and agents to easily manage the booking and renting of rooms, as well as manage tenancy agreements and leases.

“Someone who owns multiple residential houses is able to know the vacancies and status of payments instead of relying on agencies and caretakers. Tenants can also use the portal to speak up. Agencies working with multiple landlords can also leverage the tool to simplify work,” noted Manyala.

Currently, the PMS is available for property owners in major towns and cities like Mombasa, Kisumu, Eldoret, Kakamega, Meru, Naivasha, Nakuru, among others. It is also available in Tanzania and Uganda.

Other solutions the firm provides include bulk SMS, bulk WhatsApp, biometric time attendance and Access Control. The Digitally fit award cements the firm’s recognition as a Pacesetter in software and Digital Solutions, on 30th June this year.

Deputy President William Ruto has on Saturday 16, 2021 continued to invite his political rival, ODM leader Raila Odinga, to the hustler narrative faction.

While addressing residents at a rally in Kongowea market in Mombasa County, Ruto said that there have been a paradigm shift in the political discourse in the country.

Ruto boasted that his ultimate aim of bettering the lives of the downtrodden in the society has shifted Raila’s focus in politics.

“When we told our competitors that political debate in Kenya will take a paradigm shift, they did not believe us. Today they have all accepted that we must focus as a country in empowering hustlers and improving the economy,” he said.

According to Ruto, Raila is now popularizing policies akin to those he champions for through his bottom-up economic model, an economic model he says is aimed at supporting SMEs.

The DP however criticized the ODM leader accusing him of pushing a short-term solutions to the problems facing the small business sector.

He stated that Rail’s Sh. 6,000 offer as monthly stipend to the youth is not only unsustainable but also re-introduction of trickle down economic approach.

He continued to take a swipe at Raila that the ODM supremo has continued with the culture of handouts that has left a section of Kenyans self-insufficient and over dependent on political class.

Ruto said Raila has succumbed to pressure and is now speaking about growing the economy. ” welcome him to hustler narrative bandwagon but he should avoid propagating the hand out culture. Hustlers need money to support their businesses and to improve their lives, not hand outs,” he said.

Deputy President William Ruto has once again boasted of several government projects.

While addressing residents of Kilgoris in Transmara on Thursday, October 7, 2021, Ruto took credit for the ongoing and completed government projects.

Among the projects are a sugarcane factory, road constructions, a teacher-training college and electricity access in Narok County.

He said this while continuing to criticize Raila and Uhuru for the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI).

“I am neither a drunkard nor a fool, and I am not mad as well. I have said that those who are seeking to create positions for themselves by amending the constitution will have to wait until the youth have jobs,” stated Ruto.

While addressing hundreds of residents who lend him an ear, Ruto promised to improve the lives of Small and Medium Entrepreneurs and the youths.

“While we were here in 2013, only 20,000 households were connected to electricity. Now there are about 90,000 connected households,” the DP said.

He added that because all those projects were successful, one important thing remaining is to create jobs for the youth and support SMEs.

“We don’t want the rich to disturb us with constitutional amendments to create seats for themselves. That will wait until we all have jobs,” Ruto added.

He also said unlike his UDA party, his rivals have no proven track record and that their only agenda is fighting him.

“I helped President Uhuru build new roads and even a railway line, do you think implementing the Bottom-up economic model is hard for me?” he posed.

After the address, he donated one million shillings to women in small businesses and Sh 3 million to Boda Boda operators in Migori.
