Manufacturing & Production POS Kenya
Kenyan manufacturers — food processors, furniture makers, fabricators, beverage producers, cosmetics workshops — face the same recurring puzzle: what did this batch actually cost to produce, and is the price we charged for it leaving any profit on the table? Mkufunzi Manufacturing & Production POS answers that question for every batch, every recipe, and every customer order.
Built for Kenyan manufacturing & production
- Recipes and Bill of Materials (BOM) — define every product as a combination of raw materials with quantities and yields.
- Production runs — plan a batch, the system calculates required raw materials and checks stock availability before you start.
- Real cost per unit — raw material cost + labour + overhead, calculated automatically per batch.
- Multi-level BOM — sub-assemblies and intermediate products supported (perfect for furniture, fabrication, beverages).
- Quality control checkpoints with pass/fail gates and rework routing.
- Lot/batch traceability — forward and backward traceability for food safety and recalls.
- Production-to-stock or production-to-order workflows.
- Finished-goods inventory with shelf life and expiry tracking for food and cosmetics.
- Sales orders from wholesalers and distributors with credit terms, partial deliveries, and price lists per channel.
- M-PESA collections, eTIMS invoicing, and full accounting integration.
Real margin clarity — the reason this matters
Most small manufacturers in Kenya operate without knowing their per-unit cost beyond a rough guess. Raw material prices move weekly. Labour and electricity are lumped together as “expenses”. Distributors push for discounts. The result is the silent erosion of margin over months.
With Mkufunzi Manufacturing POS, every batch carries its true cost: material cost based on the actual purchase price of the batch, labour cost based on tracked hours, and overhead allocated by your chosen formula. You see gross margin per SKU, per customer, and per channel — and can defend or refuse a discount request with numbers, not vibes.
Pricing for manufacturers
Small workshops can start on Basic at KES 2,500/month. Any manufacturer with multiple SKUs, recipes, eTIMS, or wholesale distribution needs Pro at KES 5,000/month. Enterprise manufacturers (multi-plant, multi-currency, ISO documentation) get custom plans.
Manufacturing POS FAQ
Does it handle recipes / Bill of Materials?
Yes. Define every product as a recipe of raw materials with quantities, units, and yield. Multi-level BOMs (sub-assemblies feeding into final goods) are fully supported.
Can I see the real production cost per unit?
Yes. Raw material cost, labour, and allocated overhead are summed per batch and divided by yield. Margin per unit, per customer, and per channel is reported live.
Can I trace which batch a finished product came from?
Yes. Forward and backward lot/batch traceability is included — essential for food safety, cosmetics regulations, and recall handling.
Does it support sales orders and distribution?
Yes. Sales orders, customer credit limits, channel-specific price lists, partial deliveries, and back-orders are built in. eTIMS invoices are issued automatically.
Can I plan production runs based on incoming orders?
Yes. The production planner consolidates open sales orders, checks raw material availability, and proposes batch sizes to meet demand efficiently.
Will it integrate with my accountant?
Yes. Built-in double-entry accounting produces standard financial statements. Exports for QuickBooks, Sage, or Excel are available for accountants who prefer their own tools.
