Scope of work
What the office kept on day one
Hardware can be replaced. What makes an office setup last is the pack left behind — every machine, account and routine written down.
[ BEFORE // FRAGILE ]
- Personal laptops, files scattered per machine
- Shared logins, licensing confusion
- No central storage, no access control
- No backup — one dead drive from data loss
- Onboarding by whoever had a free hour
[ AFTER // DOCUMENTED ]
- Standard-imaged business machines, inventoried
- Microsoft 365, one licensed account per user
- Structured shares with role-based access
- Daily backup routine, restore-tested
- New hire productive in under a day
[ BUILT FOR KENYAN OFFICES ]
KRA eTIMS-ready desks
Invoicing machines set with correct dates, compliant records filed in one shared folder — no end-month scramble across personal laptops.
M-Pesa till reconciliation
Till statements and sales records reconciled from the same structured library — the accountant stops chasing screenshots on WhatsApp.
Kenya Power cut-safe
Autosave + daily backups mean a blackout costs minutes, not documents. Machines shut down clean on UPS, work resumes where it stopped.
Fibre-cut failover habit
When the estate fibre drops, the team hotspots from a documented failover routine instead of losing the whole morning — email and files stay reachable.
