From paperwork to TallyDue.

Move from paper slips and scattered spreadsheets to connected readings, bills, tenants, and payments. One workspace your whole team can open.

Before and after: the same property manager works through paper ledgers and receipts, then uses a laptop and phone at an organized desk.

Three leaks drain the month. Each one gets its own page in the book: who read it, who billed it, who paid it.

  • 01
    Readings without proof
    Customer, meter, photo, and location — or it did not happen.
  • 02
    Bills nobody can find
    Searchable records, date filters, receipts, live balances.
  • 03
    Tenants and bookings adrift
    The same book holds leases, guests, and staff history.

Meter to money in three stops.

  • 1

    Read it

    The reader opens the meter card on the map, captures the reading, attaches the photo.

  • 2

    Bill it

    The office reviews the route, opens Water Bills, issues the bill from the dashboard.

  • 3

    Bank it

    Money lands by M-Pesa, the receipt is filed, the balance moves. Same app, same book.

The work, all connected.

Operator Proof

Trusted across rentals and water routes.

Real operational feedback from property managers, landlords, and water scheme teams using TallyDue.

★★★★★

“Attaching photo proof directly at the tap ended customer billing disputes. We run meter walks 100% offline in the hills, and everything reconciles when our readers return to the office.”

David Mwangi
Operations Lead, Rift Valley Water Scheme
420 Active Meters · Verified Operator
★★★★★

“We manage 64 apartment units across three estates. Reconciling bank slips and M-Pesa statements used to take our office team 4 days every month. Now payments match in real-time and send automated SMS receipts.”

Sarah Wanjiku
Principal Property Manager, Apex Estate Management
64 Residential Units · Nairobi
★★★★★

“Having water submetering and rent in the exact same workspace is the real differentiator. Tenants receive one clear bill breakdown and pay via their unit paybill account reference.”

Kenneth Omondi
Residential Property Landlord
24 Units & Submeters · Eldoret
★★★★★

“We manage short-stay units alongside long-term tenant apartments. Having booking calendars, guest records, and turnover cleaning tasks in one app cut our admin overhead by half.”

Asked at the gate.

TallyDue is free forever for up to 5 meters or units with no credit card required. As your portfolio grows, commercial tiers scale predictably based on active units, meters, and enabled workspaces.

Yes. Teams frequently run TallyDue in parallel with existing spreadsheets or legacy billing software during initial pilot routes to verify meter readings, bill calculations, and payment matching before full cutover.

TallyDue integrates directly with Safaricom M-Pesa (Daraja C2B/B2C) in Kenya, MTN Mobile Money and Airtel Money across East Africa, bank transfers, debit/credit cards via international gateways, and cash/cheque with manual reconciliation receipts.

Our native iOS and Android apps store the entire walking route and meter cards locally on device. Field readers can capture numeric dials, attach camera audit photos, and log GPS coordinates completely offline. All readings automatically sync once back in cellular or Wi-Fi coverage.

Yes. You can assign submeters to individual units or tenants under a master bulk meter. TallyDue calculates consumption using custom tiered tariffs or fixed rates, and can bundle utility charges directly onto the monthly rent invoice or issue separate water bills.

When a tenant pays via mobile money or bank rail, the system automatically matches the account number, posts the credit, and triggers an automated SMS receipt via Africa's Talking or email confirmation with updated balance details.

Yes. Companies can configure their operating currency in Kenyan Shillings (KES), Uganda Shillings (UGX), Tanzanian Shillings (TZS), Nigerian Naira (NGN), or US Dollars (USD). Tariffs, rent charges, and financial statements automatically format in your chosen primary currency.

Setup typically takes under 30 minutes. You can import customers, properties, units, and meter serial numbers via standard CSV/Excel templates. Our guided onboarding wizard walks you through setting up billing tariffs and staff roles.

All data in transit is encrypted using TLS 1.3, and data at rest is protected with AES-256 encryption. Role-based access control ensures field staff only see their assigned routes, while company administrators maintain complete governance over accounting and user permissions.
