KENYA · GUIDE 0586 · EDITION 4.2
Inventory software onboarding in Kenya
Onboard a business to inventory software with validated item and opening-stock data.
A CONCRETE EXAMPLE · ILLUSTRATIVE
Fictional inventory onboarding INV-86 imports 100 stationery items into a merchant's Loyverse account using the current exported CSV schema. Example item is SKU00127, blue ballpoint pen, sold by piece, with owner-confirmed opening count; no real count is invented. Output is a cleaned product master, five-item trial import, full import reconciliation and operator exercise. Cost accounting, tax configuration, barcode allocation and assuming receipt software alone meets eTIMS duties are excluded.
Who is the first customer?
