SaccoFlow 365
SACCO core banking on Business Central: members, deposits, loans, checkoff, dividends, front-office accounts, teller and SASRA returns.
SaccoFlow 365 is SACCO software for Kenya and the region on Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central. It runs a savings and credit co-operative inside Business Central. The back office (BOSA) holds the member record and KYC, share capital and non-withdrawable deposits, and the whole loan life cycle: products and charges, appraisal, guarantors and collateral, approval, disbursement, repayment schedules, interest, arrears, classification and provisioning, recovery and rescheduling. Employer checkoff, dividends and interest on deposits run in the same system, posted to the Business Central general ledger by one posting facade. The front office (FOSA) adds savings, current and fixed-deposit accounts with mandates and liens, tills and cash and cheque transactions, end-of-day cash counts, treasury, standing orders, funds transfers, salary processing and payment vouchers. Five role centers (credit manager, FOSA manager, teller, member relations and accountant) give each person a needs-attention list, and every action is approved through the Business Central workflow engine and recorded in an audit log. Eleven permission sets cover the roles. More than a hundred printable reports include the SASRA returns: Annexes 1 to 3, Forms 3, 4, 9, 11 and 12, the sectoral classification, the insider lending return and the agency return. SaccoFlow 365 Channels puts a mobile banking service in front of it. The SaccoFlow 365 app exposes 46 operations through a mobile banking web service, covering member information, balances and statements, loan applications with guarantor requests, standing orders, transfers, loan repayment and M-Pesa paybill receipts, with duplicate protection on every money operation. A separate gateway handles member sign-in with a PIN, one-time codes for larger or first-time payments, transfers, loan repayment, balances and mini-statements. A member portal, a mobile app, a USSD and SMS service and the Safaricom integration are in development. SaccoFlow 365 is in preview and is delivered by Software Dynamics with a pilot.

Microsoft Dynamics 365 for SACCOs in Kenya
Kenyan SACCOs run on membership, share capital, deposits, loans and employer checkoff, and answer to SASRA. SaccoFlow 365 puts all of that on Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, so the members' records, the loan book and the general ledger are one system rather than a core system and a set of exports. Software Dynamics implements it from Nairobi, with the SACCO's chart of accounts, products, charges and approval limits configured in discovery.
Dynamics NAV for SACCOs: upgrade to Business Central
Many SACCOs run their loans and deposits on Dynamics NAV (Navision) with a custom SACCO extension. SaccoFlow 365 is built for Business Central, the cloud successor to NAV, and rebuilds the back-office and front-office processes of those extensions as a maintained product. We assess the NAV version and customisations first, then agree a path: an upgrade of the existing system, or a move to Business Central with the member, loan and deposit balances brought across and reconciled to the ledger.
Upgrade SACCO software in Kenya
If your SACCO software is an old extension, a spreadsheet-based system or a core system that finance cannot reconcile, the upgrade is a migration plan, not a switch-over weekend: members and KYC, deposit balances, loan ledgers with schedules and guarantors, and checkoff history are mapped, rehearsed and reconciled before cutover. SaccoFlow 365 is in preview, so we run it as a pilot with your team and your data before you rely on it.
Entrega y soporte
SaccoFlow 365 is implemented by Software Dynamics on Business Central, alongside the standard product, and supported through the Client Portal under a support tier. Release timing is aligned to Microsoft's release waves.
