Lipana

Lipana offers ten apps made by one team in Nairobi, each usable on its own, covering selling and getting paid (Point of Sale System, Restaurant, Online Payments, Rent, Appointments, Events), running the team (Payroll with an AI Payroll Agent, Expenses), and paperwork and books (eSign, Accounting). The page says the AI agents prepare work such as pay runs and check with the owner for approval before anything goes out. Business types served include retail, food and drink, beauty, and services. Free tools listed include tax and salary calculators. Pricing details are not shown on the page beyond the description 'Simple and affordable.'
