The solution was developed to help SMEs save resources and time by outsourcing some of their management chores. 

Workpay is a digital solution developed by an eponymous Kenyan startup. It allows African SMEs to hire, manage and pay their employees. The startup, which developed the platform, was founded in 2019 by Jackson Kibigo and Paul Kimani. From its inception to date, it raised over US$2.4 million to support its African growth

According to co-founder Paul Kimani, the funds raised have provided an opportunity for Workpay to scale its “human resource management and payroll processing tools to SMBs and expand to enterprise clients across East Africa.” 

“We are fortunate to have the backing of some incredible people on our mission to make it easy for businesses to manage and pay employees across Africa,” he added.

The digital solution has a mobile app, accessible for Android and iOS devices. The mobile app allows users access to the various web services offered by Workpay and also allows them to monitor team performance in real-time and hire the best African talents. 

To let subscribing companies enjoy their subscription to the fullest, Workpay’s pricing is dynamic and tailored according to every company's need. “We believe not all companies are the same. Therefore, our packages and pricing are different for each company,”  the Kenyan startup indicates. On its website, it claims over 500 firms are using its solution, including Nigerian unicorn Flutterwave.
