Across Africa, governments are accelerating their move toward digital tax and invoicing systems, a trend reshaping how companies operate. The goal is clear: improve tax transparency, close revenue leakages, and strengthen oversight on VAT and withholding compliance. But for companies like ours, it also signals a new era where technology readiness equals regulatory readiness.
Uganda is at the forefront of this shift. The Uganda Revenue Authority’s (URA) Electronic Fiscal Receipting and Invoicing System (EFRIS) now requires all companies to issue and record invoices directly through the URA’s digital platform. To meet this, Delmaw Uganda is integrating its Entersoft ERP directly with EFRIS through a partnership with our Entersoft support team at Golden Ratio. Once active, the system will automatically transmit sales and purchase data, VAT filings, and withholding reports, eliminating manual uploads and reconciliation.
The impact is tangible. Our finance team currently spends over 50 hours each month on government reporting across five people. Once integrated, that time will be cut dramatically, freeing up capacity for analysis, forecasting, and strategic planning.
This isn’t just an IT project, it’s a strategic transformation. As compliance automation becomes the new standard, entities that adapt early gain both efficiency and credibility with regulators. That’s why similar scoping has already begun for our entities in Nigeria, with lessons from Uganda guiding the approach.
