Why Pinnacle

Manual work is costing you
more than you think

Every hour your team spends entering data by hand, chasing approvals on WhatsApp, or reconciling figures across spreadsheets is an hour not spent growing your business. We have spent 30 years solving exactly this for East African organisations.

One source of truth, access controls and automated reporting — built for your team.
Modernise Legacy Software
Migrate Clarion, FoxPro and Access to modern web platforms. Your data intact, zero downtime.
Automate Manual Work
Approvals, notifications, reports, reconciliations — automated so your team focuses on what matters.

Who We Help

Do any of these sound familiar?

Running on spreadsheets

Your team manages stock, orders, customers or finances across multiple Excel files shared over WhatsApp. Data gets duplicated, errors creep in and nobody has a clear picture.

We build you a proper system →

Stuck on old desktop software

You have a system that works but only runs on one old computer, cannot be accessed remotely and nobody knows how to fix it. One hard drive failure from losing everything.

We migrate it to the web →

No system at all

Your business has grown to where running things manually is slowing you down. You need a system but do not know where to start or who to trust.

We build from scratch →

Common Questions

Frequently asked questions.

Yes. Migrating Clarion, FoxPro, Access and other legacy desktop systems to modern web platforms is one of our core specialisations. We preserve all existing data, workflows and business logic while rebuilding for web and mobile access. We have completed this for payroll, fees management and fuel station systems.

No. Data preservation is our highest priority. We perform complete backups, run parallel validation checks, and verify every record before go-live. Your historical data, relationships, and business logic remain fully intact — we have a 100% data preservation record across all migrations.

Most legacy migrations take between 3 to 6 months depending on system complexity, data volume, and integration requirements. We provide a detailed timeline during the Scope & Proposal phase so there are no surprises.

Yes. We serve clients across East Africa including Tanzania and Uganda. Our team is experienced in remote collaboration, and we travel to client sites when needed for training and deployment.

Absolutely. We offer ongoing maintenance plans, technical support, system monitoring, and periodic enhancements. Most of our client relationships span many years beyond the initial build — our longest is over 30 years.

Costs vary based on scope and complexity. We provide fixed-price proposals after our Discovery Call so you know exactly what to expect before committing. Contact us for a no-obligation consultation.
