JiPOS Enters Higher Learning!

A New Era for Hospitality Education in Kenya.

At iOSoft Solutions, we’ve always been committed to transforming how hotels across Kenya and East Africa operate—making management smarter, faster, and more reliable. But our latest milestone is one that extends far beyond the hotel industry. We’re proud to announce that The Co-operative University of Kenya has officially adopted JiPOS to train its hospitality studies students—firmly positioning JiPOS as the best hospitality management system in Kenya not just in practice, but now in education too.

This partnership marks a pivotal moment not only for us as a company but for the entire Kenyan hospitality industry. For years, institutions of higher learning have depended on imported systems—often expensive, complex, and poorly suited to the local context—to expose students to hospitality operations. With this new development, JiPOS becomes the first fully homegrown hotel management system to be integrated into a hospitality education curriculum at the university level.

A Game-Changer for Hospitality Education In Kenya

Hospitality is one of Kenya’s fastest-growing sectors, and the need for highly trained, tech-savvy professionals has never been greater. With the inclusion of JiPOS in their training programs, The Co-operative University of Kenya is preparing its students with hands-on skills using a real-world platform. This means graduates will not only understand the theory behind hotel operations but will also know how to run them using the best hospitality management system in Kenya—the same one already trusted by leading hotels, resorts, and serviced apartments across the region.

This kind of alignment between education and industry is rare and powerful. It ensures that students are job-ready on day one, familiar with the exact tools they will encounter in the field. It also gives hotels hiring new staff a competitive advantage—bringing in talent that already knows how to use JiPOS efficiently and effectively.

Why JiPOS?

So, what makes JiPOS the best hospitality management system in Kenya? The answer lies in our deep understanding of the unique challenges faced by hotels in this region. From unpredictable internet connectivity to the need for mobile-friendly, easy-to-learn systems, we’ve designed JiPOS with local realities in mind.

Here are just a few reasons why both hotels and higher learning institutions are embracing JiPOS:

  • Locally Built, Globally Competitive: JiPOS is developed in Kenya, with local hospitality needs at its core, but it meets global standards in functionality and performance.

  • Cloud-Based Access: It offers remote access, enabling real-time monitoring of hotel operations from anywhere.

  • Multi-Department Integration: JiPOS links front office, housekeeping, restaurant, inventory, and accounting—all in one system.

  • User-Friendly Interface: Built with ease of use in mind, it’s perfect for both seasoned professionals and students new to hotel tech.

  • Scalability: Whether you’re managing a small lodge or a large resort chain, JiPOS adapts to your needs.

With these capabilities, it’s no wonder JiPOS continues to be adopted by institutions and businesses looking for the best hospitality management system in Kenya.

A National Win for Local Innovation

For a long time, Kenyan institutions had little choice but to rely on foreign-made software to teach hospitality systems. This reliance meant that students were trained on platforms they were unlikely to encounter in the real world here in Kenya. Now, JiPOS changes that narrative.

By choosing JiPOS, The Co-operative University of Kenya is not only equipping its students with relevant, practical tools—they’re also supporting local innovation and boosting confidence in Kenya’s ability to produce world-class tech. It’s a clear sign that the industry is maturing and that Kenyan-made solutions are stepping up to meet the moment.

As JiPOS continues to expand its reach across East Africa, more institutions and businesses are turning to what is clearly the best hospitality management system in Kenya. Our growing network of clients includes leading coastal resorts, city hotels, and now one of the country’s respected public universities.

Looking Ahead: The Impact on the Industry

This milestone has long-term implications for the hospitality sector. In the coming years, hundreds—if not thousands—of students will graduate already familiar with JiPOS. These students will go on to become operations managers, general managers, consultants, and hotel owners. Their knowledge of JiPOS will allow them to implement it wherever they go, creating a ripple effect that standardizes and strengthens hotel operations throughout the region.

Hotels that already use JiPOS will benefit from hiring ready-trained staff, while those that haven’t yet adopted the system may find themselves at a competitive disadvantage.

At JiPOS, we believe that knowledge should not be a barrier to success. That’s why we’re thrilled to see our system being used to empower students—future leaders in hospitality—with the tools they need to succeed. It’s a future where Kenyan hotels are not just well-run, but are run with confidence, clarity, and cutting-edge local technology.

As we celebrate this achievement, we’re more motivated than ever to continue improving, growing, and supporting the institutions and businesses that rely on JiPOS. If your hotel, lodge, or resort is still struggling with clunky, overpriced systems, maybe it’s time to switch to the best hospitality management system in Kenya—trusted by the next generation of professionals and the institutions shaping them.
