What we build

Systems that run real businesses.
Not demos. Not templates.

Five categories of software. Twenty years of engineering behind each one. Every project led by a senior engineer who has built and shipped systems that thousands of people use every day.

Senior engineers only
Your project doesn't get handed off. The same experienced engineer who scoped the work builds it.
Fixed timelines
If we say two weeks, we mean two weeks. No ambiguity, no moving goalposts, no excuses.
You own everything
Source code, domain, hosting credentials. Everything transfers to you on day one after final payment.
We stay after launch
30 days free support. Monthly retainers available. We don't disappear once the invoice is paid.

Five disciplines.
One studio.

We deliberately keep our service offering focused. Not because we can't build other things — but because depth produces better outcomes than breadth. Every service below is something we have built and shipped multiple times, for real clients, in production environments.

Web Design &
Digital Presence
Your business exists. Let the internet know.
A Kenyan business without a credible website is invisible to the 30 million people who go online before they walk through a door. We build websites that load fast, rank on Google, and turn visitors into enquiries — designed to generate revenue, not to win awards.

  • Savings & share capital accounts with statements
  • M-Pesa Daraja & Pesapal payment integration

  • Patient registration & appointment booking
  • Electronic health records (EHR) with visit history
  • Pharmacy & dispensing management
  • Lab results tracking & doctor notes

Custom Business Software
"When off-the-shelf doesn't fit."

  • API integrations with M-Pesa, banks & SMS
  • Web-based — no app installation required

Client voices

What clients say about working with us

“
We had been quoted by three other developers for a SACCO portal. None of them could explain what they were actually going to build. Zayara Labs gave us a seven-page document before we signed anything. That's what sold us.

James Kariuki
Chairman — Umoja Investment SACCO
“
The POS system they built for us handles over 400 transactions a day across two branches. It has never gone down during trading hours. When we had one issue in month three, they fixed it within two hours on a Saturday.

Rita Maina
Owner — Quickmart Superette, Thika Road
“
Our previous health system was imported software that cost us a fortune and was designed for a completely different workflow. The system Zayara built fits exactly how our clinic operates. Training our staff took one afternoon.
