Kimzone Autospares
Unified 35,000+ SKUs across 3 branches with real-time stock visibility and automated reorder points.
“CoaleTech built us a custom Frappe app that tracks every SKU to its exact shelf location, reconciles M-Pesa payments automatically, and calculates commissions without disputes. Our branches finally run on one system.”
Alex Kimani
Operations Director, Kimzone Autospares
“We were running four divisions like four separate companies — fleet reports were done in Excel, quarry operations ran on handwritten tickets, property invoices were sent by hand, and payroll was processed separately by division. Custom workflows for internal control were fragmented and audits took forever. Today, our fleet manager tracks cost-per-kilometre in real time, our hardware retail POS keeps stock synced, our quarry weighbridge issues digital tickets with photographic proof-of-loading, property leases auto-invoice tenants every month, and one payroll run handles 200 staff across Kenya. One system, one truth, one morning report. That is the transformation.”
