TAQA

Taqa is built for every waste collector in Kenya — from private companies to community-based organizations (CBOs). We help waste collection businesses manage customers, payments, and collections with ease, so operators can spend less time on paperwork and more time growing their business.

Automated Billing — Invoices generate automatically, cutting manual work and reducing billing errors.
M-Pesa Integration — Customers pay conveniently, and payments are recorded automatically, with no manual reconciliation.

Financial Reports — Collectors get clear reports on income, expenses, and overall performance, so they always know where the business stands.
Bulk SMS & Email — Reach all your customers at once with reminders, updates, and notices, no more messaging one by one.
Digital Operations — We replace paperwork with a digital system, saving time and cutting administrative workload.
