What does TRA need from you this week?
Biashara OS turns deadlines, invoices, stock, and clients into one clear list of next actions — so running a compliant business doesn't need an accountant on call.

Multi-shop from day one
The problem
Compliance anxiety, spread across five tools
Deadlines live in someone's memory
VAT periods, TIN renewals, filing windows — tracked in a notebook or a WhatsApp reminder, if at all.
Records are scattered
Invoices in one app, stock in a notebook, client numbers in someone's phone. Nothing reconciles.
Multiple shops, one spreadsheet
A second location means a shared file two people edit — with no record of who moved what, or where a sale happened.
Compliance, front and center
From due date to done — with evidence attached
Every VAT period and filing window becomes a checklist item on your dashboard, with the supporting documents attached before the deadline — not after.
- Rates and deadlines never hardcoded in the UI
- Evidence attached per obligation
- Reminders before, not after, the due date

FAQ
Your questions, answered
Does this help with filing, or just tracking deadlines?
Biashara OS tells you what's due and helps you assemble the evidence — it doesn't file returns on your behalf. Think of it as the checklist and paper trail your accountant needs, always up to date.
Is this only for Mainland Tanzania?
The tax obligation engine currently covers Mainland VAT and TIN workflows. Zanzibar-specific rules are on the roadmap.
Can I run more than one shop?
Yes. Every plan supports at least one branch, and Business/Compliance Plus scale to multiple shops with branch-scoped stock, invoices, and dashboards.
What happens to my data if I cancel?
You can export your invoices, clients, and records at any time. We never hold your data hostage to force an upgrade.
How long is the free trial?
14 days on the Business plan, no card required to start.
