Africa's Since 1999.
Mareba Computers opened its doors in 1999. Before we delivered our first project, our team trained directly with SYSPRO. Twenty-five years and twenty-plus implementations later, we are a SYSPRO Premium Solutions Partner serving manufacturers and distributors across East, West, and Central Africa, led by Managing Director Dr. Cyprus Olumbe.
Twenty-Five Years. One Mission.
From a single office in Nairobi to a SYSPRO Premium Solutions Partner serving six countries, every chapter of Mareba has been written around one belief: African manufacturers and distributors deserve world-class ERP, configured for how they actually run.
A SYSPRO Partner From Day One.
Mareba Computers opens its doors in 1999 as a SYSPRO Premium Solutions Partner. Before delivering a single project, the team trains directly with SYSPRO. The discipline that defines Mareba is set on the first day.
The Playbook, Written on the Floor.
Early implementations across Kenyan manufacturers prove the model works. The Mareba approach is shaped in real shop-floor conditions, not in slide decks. Every line of code earns its place.
The Same Playbook. New Geographies.
Implementations land in Tanzania, Ethiopia, and beyond. The Mareba approach proves it travels, configured for local trade rules, currencies, and supply chains without losing the SYSPRO playbook.
Recognition for Doing It Right.
A quarter century inside SYSPRO. Twenty-plus implementations. Recognition for sustained delivery, technical depth, and regional revenue performance. Premium is not a label here. It is how we work.
Six Countries. One Mission.
Mareba supports manufacturers and distributors across Kenya, Ethiopia, Tanzania, Ghana, Nigeria, and beyond. Twenty-plus implementations. Twenty-five years. The work continues.
Four Disciplines. One Outcome.
Every Mareba engagement runs on four disciplines. They are the difference between an ERP that goes live and an ERP that earns its keep, year after year.
SYSPRO Implementation
From Sign-Off to Go-Live, Owned End to End.
We deploy SYSPRO across your manufacturing or distribution operation. Scoping, configuration, data migration, user acceptance testing, and a controlled go-live, run as one project with one accountable team.
- Discovery and process mapping
- Configuration and data migration
- Phased go-live with risk controls
Training and Enablement
SYSPRO-Certified, Africa-Tested.
Mareba trained directly with SYSPRO before delivering a single project, and we have been training client teams the same way ever since. Operators, supervisors, finance, and administrators each get the depth they need.
- Role-based end-user training
- System administrator certification
- Ongoing knowledge transfer
Ongoing Support
Go-Live Is the Start, Not the Finish.
The Mareba team stays with you long after launch. Troubleshooting, system tuning, upgrade planning, and the kind of long-term partnership that turns one implementation into a quarter century of working software.
- Same-timezone support across the region
- System health checks and optimisation
- Upgrade planning and execution
Customisation and Integration
Tailored to How You Actually Run.
Out-of-the-box SYSPRO covers most of what you need. The rest is what we configure, extend, and connect. Custom reports, third-party integrations, and workflow refinements that make the system fit your business.
- Custom reports and dashboards
- Third-party system integrations
- Workflow and process tailoring
Twenty-Five Years In. Still in the Room.
A note from Dr. Cyprus Olumbe, the founder and Managing Director of Mareba Computers, on what a quarter century of SYSPRO has taught him about the work.

A note to whoever is reading this.
In 1999, before Mareba had delivered a single project, we made a choice. We would train with SYSPRO first, then earn the right to call ourselves a partner. That choice still defines how we work. Twenty-five years later, we are a SYSPRO Premium Solutions Partner with implementations in Kenya, Ethiopia, Tanzania, Ghana, Nigeria, and beyond.
What I have learned over those years is that ERP is the easy part. Making it work for a real business, with its own people, processes, and pressures, is the work that actually matters.
That is what Mareba is for. If you are considering SYSPRO, or considering us, I would welcome the conversation. Reach out, and one of our consultants will be in touch within a working day.
