Centy vs Sage
Sage is a trusted accounting name in many markets — finance teams often still bolt on payroll, payments, and inventory elsewhere.
A solid choice for bookkeeping-led migrations. Centy replaces the patchwork of Sage plus separate payroll, M-Pesa tools, and spreadsheets with one ERP workflow.
| What finance teams ask | Centy | Sage |
|---|---|---|
| All-in-one scope | Finance, people, operations, and CRM on one database | Accounting-first; HR and ops vary by product line |
| M-Pesa operations | High-volume bulk pay and bank-style reconciliation | Bank feeds common; M-Pesa usually custom or third-party |
| Statutory payroll | Country templates (Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania) with native runs and approvals | Sage Payroll or external bureau depending on SKU and country |
| Inventory & projects | Stock, procurement, and job costing with finance | Available in some tiers; not always unified |
| Local support | Product team plus regional rollout experience | Quality depends on authorised partner network |
