Zentro — Business Management Software for East Africa
Zentro is a cloud-based business management platform built in Kigali, Rwanda for businesses across East and Central Africa. Founded in 2022 by Sugira Erasto, Zentro was created specifically for the African market — with mobile money (MTN MoMo, Airtel Money), offline mode, and 30+ supported business types built in from day one.
What Zentro does
- Point of Sale (POS) with barcode scanning and receipt printing
- Inventory management with real-time stock tracking and low-stock alerts
- Staff management with roles, permissions, and attendance
- Financial reporting with multi-currency support (RWF, USD, TZS, UGX, CDF)
- Customer CRM with loyalty programs and credit tracking
- Multi-location management for businesses with multiple branches
- Offline-first architecture — works without internet, syncs when reconnected
- Mobile money payments — MTN MoMo and Airtel Money are first-class integrations
About the founder
Zentro was founded by Sugira Erasto in Kigali, Rwanda. He built Zentro after watching business owners struggle with software designed for European and American markets that did not support mobile money, did not work offline, and did not understand the operational realities of East African businesses.
