Built for how Zimbabwe works.
What a business here needs from day one, and how it is usually met. General comparisons, not reviews of any one product.
| Need | CrownCore ERP | A general international ERP | Spreadsheets and a standalone till |
|---|---|---|---|
| USD and ZWG together | Both in one set of books, with exchange differences recorded | Multicurrency, configured by your partner | Separate files or columns, reconciled by hand |
| ZIMRA FDMS fiscalisation | Certified, inside the system | Usually a separate add-on or device integration | A separate fiscal device, matched by hand |
| PAYE, NSSA, NEC & ZIMDEF | Built in, with statutory sign-off before payroll runs | Usually localised by a partner | Separate payroll software or spreadsheets |
| Selling when the connection drops | The till keeps selling and checks each sale when it reconnects | Depends on the product | Paper, or the till's own records |
| Labour Act leave | Sick and maternity leave as the Act sets out | Configured during implementation | Tracked by hand |
| Support | Kingsman Software Services, in Harare | Depends on the partner | Whoever set it up |
The connection drops.
The till keeps working.
Capture sales with the products, customers, prices and exchange rates already available on the till. Queue the work locally and check it on the server when the connection returns.
Offline selling, with clear limits. Mobile money, new sign-ins and supervisor approvals need a connection. Stock is checked when sales sync.
Receipts follow the fiscal workflow. An offline sale slip is not a fiscal receipt. Sales are fiscalised through ZIMRA FDMS once the till reconnects and syncs.
Choose where CrownCore runs.
Choose infrastructure around your locations, connectivity and IT team. Agree the operating responsibilities before go-live.
Compare your deployment options.
On premises. Under your control.
Deploy CrownCore on a server your organisation operates. A fit for teams with their own infrastructure and IT support.
- Your server and chosen network access
- Backup destination and recovery plan agreed
- Updates rehearsed before production changes
See how missing setup is flagged
The supplied demo has outstanding setup items. Go-Live Readiness highlights what the implementation team must resolve before launch; this capture is not a production-ready installation.
Go-live checks identify setup items that still need attention.
Core ERP workspaces need a connection to the server. Offline capability applies to supported till workflows. Hosting, support, backups and service levels are scoped for your implementation.

Before you decide.
Which parts of the business does CrownCore cover?
CrownCore brings together finance, sales and CRM, purchasing, inventory, point of sale, HR and payroll. Projects, tasks, expense claims, assets and customer and supplier portals are also part of the system. Your walkthrough can focus on the workflows your team actually needs.
Can we work across branches and currencies?
Yes. CrownCore supports branch-level access, stock transfers and sales reporting. Accounting supports multiple currencies, while the till can accept configured payment currencies and records the exchange rates used.
What happens when a till loses its connection?
The till can capture sales offline using locally available products, customers, prices and exchange rates. Sales are checked again when they sync. Some actions, including obtaining a new supervisor approval, still need a connection.
Does CrownCore support Zimbabwe payroll and fiscalisation?
Yes. CrownCore includes Zimbabwe payroll workflows with configurable statutory rates and review controls, and its ZIMRA FDMS fiscalisation integration is certified. During implementation we register your fiscal devices with ZIMRA and confirm your payroll settings with you before go-live.
What is CrownCore built on?
CrownCore is built on Frappe and ERPNext, the open-source ERP platform, with Zimbabwe-specific modules from Kingsman Software Services: payroll, ZIMRA fiscalisation, the offline till, local tax and the cash book. Each update is rehearsed on a copy of a site on the previous release before it reaches yours, and your data stays in your own database.
What does getting started involve?
Implementation begins with your company, branches, currencies, roles and opening data. CrownCore includes Business Setup, data import and Go-Live Readiness tools to help the implementation team review the setup with you. Hosting, migration and support arrangements are agreed for your organisation.
Is CrownCore's fiscalisation certified by ZIMRA?
Yes. CrownCore ERP is certified by ZIMRA for FDMS and connects directly, so every till sale and invoice is fiscalised from the same records that update stock and the books. Each business registers its own fiscal devices with ZIMRA and tries them in ZIMRA's test environment before going live; we do that with you.
Can we pay staff in USD and ZWG?
Yes. Pay in both currencies is taxed the way ZIMRA sets out: the whole salary once on the USD tables, with PAYE, the AIDS levy and NSSA shared between the currencies. The choices the law leaves to you are set once, signed off, and recorded, and PAYE, NSSA, NEC and ZIMDEF returns come from each run.
Where does CrownCore run?
On a server you own, or in a private cloud Kingsman runs for you. Either way it uses HTTPS, has encrypted backups that are restored in a monthly drill, and its till keeps selling when the internet drops.
How much does CrownCore cost?
You pay for a package once and keep it: Shop $500, Business $1,800, Enterprise from $5,000, in USD. Setup and training is $200 for Shop and $600 for Business, and quoted for Enterprise. Support is a monthly plan, optional on your own server: $25, $60 and from $180 a month. It covers updates, fixes, and ZIMRA, PAYE and NSSA changes. If Kingsman hosts CrownCore for you, hosting is $20, $45 or from $120 a month. There are no per-user licence fees. You can try everything free for 30 days first. See the pricing page for add-ons and what each package includes.
Can we move from QuickBooks, Sage/Pastel or spreadsheets?
Yes. Customers, suppliers, products, prices, opening stock and balances come across through an import page that checks every line before anything changes. We agree opening figures with your old system to the cent, and run payroll side by side for at least two months before anyone is paid from CrownCore.
Which industries does CrownCore serve?
Retail and wholesale, importers and distributors, services and projects, NGOs, hardware and industrial supplies, pharmacies and medical suppliers, agro-dealers, mining and mining suppliers, and construction. For other businesses it still runs the books, stock and payroll.
