CassKai vs Keewu: from local invoicing to a multi-country management platform

Keewu positions itself as a management and invoicing solution for the Senegalese market, in the category of local tools that help micro-businesses and SMEs issue invoices, track customers and run their daily operations. This type of solution has genuine strengths: ease of use and on-the-ground proximity. For a freelancer or small Senegalese structure that first wants to invoice cleanly and track collections, a targeted local tool is often a good starting point, accessible and quick to get going.

Typical limitations of the 'local invoicing / management tool' category for 2026:

• Accounting depth: an invoicing-oriented tool rarely covers full general accounting (general ledger, trial balance, SYSCOHADA financial statements, fixed assets, reconciliation). At some growth stage, the SME then has to add a real accounting package alongside.
• Geographic scope: these solutions are generally designed for Senegal only. A subsidiary in Cote d'Ivoire, Mali or France is not covered.
• Accounting standards: SYSCOHADA at best, rarely French PCG, IFRS or Algerian SCF in the same product.
• Mobile Money: native support for Orange Money, Wave, Free Money and other wallets depends on the vendor.
• UEMOA normalised e-invoicing: standardised invoicing is rolling out gradually in the zone. A local solution may cover it for its own country, rarely across borders.
• Artificial intelligence and cash steering: an AI assistant (categorisation, forecasting, anomaly detection) and cash indicators (DSO, working capital) are rarely built into local invoicing tools.

CassKai offers a more complete platform: 4-standard native accounting (PCG, SYSCOHADA, IFRS, SCF), coverage of 33 African countries, native Mobile Money (Orange Money, Wave, Free Money, MTN MoMo, Moov), native UEMOA e-invoicing (FNE Cote d'Ivoire, e-MECeF Benin, SECeF), a GPT-4o AI assistant and cash steering (DSO, working capital, forecasting). The idea is not to disqualify a good simple invoicing tool on its niche, but to give Senegalese SMEs a single platform that goes from invoice to financial statements, and that follows their regional growth, with transparent EUR SaaS pricing and a 30-day trial with no credit card.

CassKai is published by Noutche Conseil, a chartered accounting and financial advisory firm focused on Francophone West Africa.

Migrating from Keewu (or a local invoicing tool) to CassKai is generally simple because the starting scope is often limited to invoicing and customer tracking. Count on 3 to 6 weeks for an SME of 5 to 50 employees:

1. Step 1 - Data export (week 1): from Keewu, export the customer list, issued invoices and quotes, payments received and, if the tool allows, accounting entries, in CSV or Excel format.
2. Step 2 - Import and opening balances (weeks 2-3): CassKai's wizard imports the third parties (customers), invoicing history and outstanding receivables. For the accounting side, if Keewu did not keep general accounting, we enter opening balances from your latest trial balance (provided by your accountant or rebuilt).
3. Step 3 - Setup and parallel run (weeks 3-4): you configure your target SYSCOHADA chart of accounts, VAT rates, invoice templates and, optionally, post operations into CassKai in parallel with Keewu for a few weeks to validate.
4. Step 4 - Cutover (weeks 5-6): you switch 100% to CassKai, ideally at the start of a month or fiscal year. You keep Keewu archives for the OHADA legal retention period (10 years for accounting records).
