Industry context
Shared service billing in Kenya is high-volume and high-dispute
From Nairobi apartment blocks and Mombasa mixed-use developments to Kisumu and Nakuru residential estates, operators must bill water, electricity allocations, waste collection, security, and common-area maintenance fairly and collect on time. Residents expect itemized charges and easy M-Pesa payment options.
When billing logic is opaque and collections are manual, disputes rise, arrears accumulate, and shared infrastructure funding becomes unpredictable.
Common challenges
