Workshop management software for South Africa
Workshop management software for South Africa. Live by tomorrow.
A Johannesburg workshop juggles quotes, approvals and 15% VAT on every invoice, and most of it still lives in a book. Kenro puts the whole day in one place without changing how the floor works.
Real screens, not mockups — desktop for the owner, phone for the floor.
What your customer gets
TAX INVOICE, South Africa.
Not a mock-up — this is Kenro's own invoice engine, rendering for South Africa.

Straight answer first
Your invoices, the way South Africa wants them.
Kenro works out VAT at 15% on every invoice, puts it on the document in the form South Africa expects, and keeps your invoice numbers in one unbroken sequence.
You still own your records and can export the lot to a spreadsheet whenever you want. Your accountant files, as they always have — what changes is that they stop chasing you for the numbers.

Questions owners ask
Before you email us.
Does Kenro handle South Africa's tax rules?
Yes. VAT at 15% is worked out on every invoice and printed on the document the way South Africa expects it. Your accountant still files — they just get clean numbers instead of a shoebox.
Is it in English?
Yes. The whole system — staff screens, invoices and the customer's tracking page — is English.
Who sets it up?
We do. Setup, moving your existing records across from Excel or whatever you use now, and training your team are all part of it — not a separate bill.
What if it does not suit us?
Not happy in 30 days? Full refund. Your data is yours to keep.
What does it cost?
One yearly price for the workshop, quoted after we have understood how your floor runs. Email hello@usekenro.com and we will give you the number.
