Software Built Around How Your Business Works
Many organisations in Uganda still run on spreadsheets, paper receipt books and disconnected tools. Data is entered twice, money goes unaccounted for, and managers wait days for reports they need today. Off-the-shelf software from abroad rarely fits: it ignores Mobile Money, URA tax requirements, local payroll rules and patchy internet.
Cactech is a software development company in Kampala that builds systems around your actual workflow. We start by mapping how work and money move through your organisation, then design a system your team will actually use — on the web, on mobile, or both — and connect it to the payment, SMS and accounting tools you already rely on.
We have built platforms such as Kezavi, a property management system for Ugandan landlords, tenants and caretakers with digital leases, rent tracking and Mobile Money payments. Whether you need a single internal tool or a multi-branch platform serving clients across East Africa, you own the code and the data.
