"Switching to Chara saved us over KES 150,000 in hardware costs. My staff use their own phones, and we're processing M-Pesa payments faster than ever. Setup took 10 minutes, and my team learned it instantly. Best business decision we made this year!"

Julia Muthoni

Our retail business has been expanding, and managing inventory was becoming a real headache. Since implementing Chara POS, our stock tracking has become so much more efficient.
