We think HR software should feel like texting a colleague.
PesaPocket started with a simple observation: every business we spoke to already ran its whole culture through WhatsApp, except the parts that mattered most, payroll and pay. So we moved those in too.
HR software built for portals no one in Africa asked for.
Most payroll and HR tools were designed around desktop dashboards and dedicated apps, a poor fit for teams where WhatsApp is the default way to communicate, even for the boss.
PesaPocket flips that: the interface is the conversation your staff already have open, and the backend handles the compliance, payments and record-keeping most businesses would rather not think about.
The principles behind every decision we make.
No new habits
If it doesn't work inside an app people already use daily, we don't build it.
Money should move fast
Approved pay shouldn't wait for a fixed payday. Malipo wallets exist because employees shouldn't have to wait on us.
Compliance is invisible
PAYE, NSSF and SHIF rules should be handled correctly by default, not something an HR manager has to double-check.
Built here, for here
Designed around Kenyan payroll law and mobile money first, not retrofitted from a system built for another market.
