Koonto

Koonto is a cashbook for a small shop. Money in, money out, what you are owed and what you owe — written down properly, in one place, on the phone in your pocket. It is meant to replace the notebook under the counter, not to teach you accounting. WRITE IT DOWN IN SECONDS • Cash in, cash out, and it is recorded • Photograph a receipt and Koonto reads the total, the date and the shop off it, then offers them to you. Nothing is saved until you say so • Paste an M-Pesa message and it fills the entry in for you • Keep separate books for separate parts of the business — the till, the stock, the counter, your own money KNOW WHO OWES YOU • Every customer and supplier, and exactly what each one is on • One person's whole story on one screen: what they took, what they paid, what is still owed • Bring people in from your phone's contacts. Only the ones you tick • Send someone a statement of their account MORE THAN ONE MONEY Shillings, dollars, and whatever else you trade in. Each book is kept in one currency and never mixed, so a total is always a total of one thing. IT WORKS WHEN THE NETWORK DOES NOT Record entries with no signal. Koonto holds them and sends them the moment the line comes back. Nothing waits on a connection. IT ADDS UP, AND IT TELLS YOU WHEN IT DOES NOT Underneath the simple screens Koonto keeps a proper double-entry ledger, and it checks itself against your books. When the two disagree it says so, in plain words, instead of quietly showing you a number that is wrong. BUILT FOR SHOPS IN KENYA AND SOMALIA By people who know what a QAANSHEEGAD looks like, what a till roll from a Nairobi supermarket prints, and that "paid" and "rest" are two different boxes. The receipt reader was taught on real receipts from both.
