• Ayokai launched Kokamba in 2024 as an ERP solution built by Congolese engineers and aligned with African accounting standards, including SYSCOHADA and OHADA.

• Kokamba operates offline, enabling SMEs in low-connectivity zones to manage finance, HR, billing, and operations from a unified dashboard.

• The platform centralizes financial data and strengthens regulatory compliance, which could boost the efficiency and growth of Congolese SMEs.

Ayokai drives a local digital-transformation push with Kokamba, an ERP solution designed by Congolese engineers for African businesses. The Franco-Congolese startup launched the system in 2024 under the leadership of Mardochée Bikoukou.

Kokamba targets companies, associations, NGOs and public institutions. It functions as an integrated management platform and respects several African norms, including SYSCOHADA. Ayokai positions Kokamba as a fintech tool that supports organizations that need coherent financial and operational structures.

The platform allows managers to control operations from a single dashboard. Kokamba groups accounting, billing, HR management, financial reporting, service management and payroll. It also integrates modules that track employees, support HR planning and generate financial statements that follow regional requirements.

The system maintains usability in low-connectivity environments. Kokamba runs offline and syncs online when networks become available. This capability suits Congolese SMEs and field-based structures that operate in areas with limited internet access.

Kokamba also stands out through its compliance with OHADA standards. The platform secures accounting and fiscal conformity for local firms. By centralizing financial data, Kokamba gives managers a clearer view of cash positions and key indicators, which helps them make informed decisions without depending solely on external accountants.

The platform may strengthen the operational efficiency of small and medium-sized enterprises. Kokamba supports business structuring and could stimulate SME growth in an increasingly demanding economic environment.
