Built for the
blue economy
Fish farming in Kenya carries more paperwork than it should and leaves less proof than it deserves. Yields sit in one book, sales in another, grant money in a third, and by the time anyone asks what a season actually produced, the answer has to be reconstructed. AquaVerse keeps all of it in one place — from the fingerling to the invoice, and from the public shilling to the harvest it paid for.
Our mission
To give every fish farmer — from a single pond to a funded cooperative — the same quality of record a large enterprise takes for granted, and to make that record worth something when they go to sell, borrow or account for it.
Our vision
A blue economy where public money is traceable to the food it produced — where a ministry can see the ponds it funded, and a farmer can prove the harvest it grew.
Our values
Say what is measured and no more. A blank reading is shown as blank, an estimate is called an estimate, and a farm's records belong to the farm. Trust is easier to keep than to rebuild.
What the platform covers
One system across the whole cycle, rather than a tool per problem.
Ponds and production
Farms, ponds, stocking, feed schedules and harvest events — with survival rate and yield tracked per cycle.
Carbon and sustainability
Per-pond carbon footprint, feed conversion, water recycled and renewable share, rolled into a sustainability score.
Cold chain and logistics
Cold rooms, cold storage and shipments, with temperature-monitored consignments flagged from dispatch to delivery.
Selling, two ways
One catalogue behind both the online marketplace and the counter till, so stock never disagrees with itself.
Books that satisfy KRA
Double-entry accounts, supplier bills, VAT returns and eTIMS invoice submission — as part of the day's work, not a year-end scramble.
Training that counts
Courses, lessons and exams graded on our side, so a completion certificate is evidence a funder can rely on.
Who we serve
Three groups who normally work in separate systems — which is why the chain between them keeps breaking.
Farmers and cooperatives
Run the farm and sell the catch from one place, with books that stay ready for the taxman.
Government and funders
Fund a group, then see what the money produced — ponds stocked, fish survived, kilos landed.
Distributors and buyers
Supply inputs against approved applications, and buy graded yield from the farms that grew it.
The local rules are the defaults
- eTIMS. Invoices submit to the KRA regime from inside the books, not as a separate filing exercise.
- VAT returns. Sales and supplier bills reconcile into a return you can actually file.
- M-Pesa. Payments settle the way the country already pays.
- Shillings. Priced and accounted in KES, because a currency conversion is one more place to lose money.
- Local species. Tilapia, catfish, trout and shrimp — growth and grading follow the stock, not a template.
Separation is enforced, not promised
Every farm and cooperative is walled off in the database itself, not merely hidden in the interface. A neighbouring farm on the same platform cannot read your stock, your books or your staff records.
Funders see only the groups that applied to packages they created — never another agency's portfolio — and only as totals: ponds, survival, kilos, money booked. Not your customer invoices, and not your employees.
Pond sensors sign in as themselves, so no farm password is ever loaded onto hardware sitting at the waterside.
Where we are
AquaVerse is early and building in the open. The production, commerce, accounting, training and funding-portal modules are live and in use. Continuous sensor streaming is being rolled out farm by farm, and until a pond is wired we show its readings as blank rather than guess at them — the same principle we apply everywhere else.
