About Software World

Helping organisations work smarter since 2010

Software World delivers dependable technology for growing organisations. We create and support business systems that simplify daily work, protect valuable information and turn data into clearer decisions.

Our story

Software World began in 2010 with a small team and a big belief: that organisations of any size deserve software that is simple, secure and genuinely useful. Over the years that belief has grown into a complete family of services — management systems for everyday operations, cybersecurity to keep them safe, data services to make information meaningful, and a support team that treats every client like a partner.

We have walked alongside businesses through growth, change and difficult seasons. That experience shapes every system we build today: practical, dependable and easy for real people to use.

2010

The beginning

Software World started with a simple goal: give growing organisations software that actually fits the way they work, instead of forcing them to change everything to suit the software.

2013

Management systems take shape

Our first WorldHRM and accounting systems went live with early clients. Word spread, and the family of systems grew to cover stock, sales and payroll.

2016

Security becomes a pillar

As more businesses moved their records online, we added cybersecurity services so clients could adopt technology with confidence, not fear.

2019

Data done right

We expanded into data services — cleaning, moving, protecting and reporting on business information — because good decisions need good data.

2022

One portal for everything

All client systems were brought together behind a single online portal, so staff only need one place to start their day.

Today

Still growing with you

Fifteen years on, we continue to improve every system, respond faster to support requests and keep security ahead of new threats.

What we stand for

Reliability first

A system that is down is worse than no system. We build for uptime and keep a close eye on everything we run.

Security by default

Every account, every record and every backup is treated as something worth protecting — because it is.

Plain language

No confusing jargon. We explain what we are doing and why, in words that make sense to your team.

Long-term partnership

Many of our clients have been with us for years. We grow the technology as the organisation grows.

Why organisations choose us

Everything under one roof

Systems, security, data and support from a single team — no finger-pointing between different suppliers.

Built for Kenyan organisations

Local understanding of taxes, payroll rules and day-to-day business practice, baked into the systems.

Accessible anywhere

Web-based systems mean your team can work from the office, from home or on the road.

Straightforward pricing

Clear costs agreed up front, so you can plan your technology budget without surprises.

Real people, real answers

When you need support you reach people who know your setup — not a script.

Continuous improvement

We keep improving the systems and adding features based on what clients actually ask for.
