What we design, install and maintain

Six core disciplines, delivered as one integrated system so your access control, cameras and alarms share a single platform — and a single point of accountability.

Biometric Access Control

Fingerprint, facial and card-based readers that decide who enters which door, at which hour, in which building. Every event is logged and reportable.

  • Door controllers & electric locks
  • Multi-site user management
  • Anti-passback & audit trails

CCTV & Surveillance

IP camera systems with clear day and night coverage, on-site or cloud recording, and remote viewing from a phone or a control room wall.

  • IP & PTZ camera networks
  • NVR storage & retention planning
  • Remote and mobile monitoring

Intrusion Alarms

Perimeter and interior detection that alerts the right people immediately — sirens, SMS, app push and direct links to your response team.

  • PIR, beam & vibration sensors
  • Zone-based arming schedules
  • Alarm-to-camera integration

Turnstiles & Barriers

Pedestrian turnstiles, boom gates and vehicle barriers that keep traffic moving while keeping unauthorized people and cars out.

  • Speed gates & tripod turnstiles
  • Boom gates & vehicle tags
  • Visitor & contractor passes

Time & Attendance

Biometric clocking terminals that feed payroll directly, cutting manual registers, buddy-punching and month-end disputes in the HR office.

  • Shift, overtime & leave rules
  • Payroll software integration
  • Multi-branch workforce reports

Maintenance & Support

Preventive servicing, fault response and spare-part supply for systems we installed — and for systems inherited from someone else.

  • Scheduled service contracts
  • Firmware & software updates
  • Emergency call-out cover

Two countries, one integration standard

ZKSoftware EA Ltd was built to close a gap we saw on site every week: excellent hardware installed badly, then left without support. We are an integration firm first — we specify the system, we install it with our own technicians, and we stay on the contract to keep it running.

From  Kampala to Nairobi we serve different clientele,private businesses, manufacturers, universities, hospitals, logistics operators and government institutions. Our engineers work across biometrics systems like  access control, video, intrusion detection and workforce systems, so a client gets one design, one installation team and one number to call.

Every project starts with a site survey and a written specification. Nothing is quoted from a catalog alone — the building, the traffic flow and the risk profile decide what goes in.

Target response time on contracted support calls

Design

We walk the site, map the entry points and document the risk. You receive a specification, a drawing and a fixed price before any cable is pulled.

Install

Our own certified technicians handle cabling, mounting, configuration and commissioning — then train your security and facilities teams on handover.

Maintain

Service visits, firmware updates, spare-part stock and a support line that reaches an engineer who knows your system, not a call centre.

Our Mission

To empower organizations through intelligent security ecosystems that protect lives, assets, and data with zero compromise on efficiency.

Our Vision

To be the leading catalyst for digital transformation in East African security, setting the gold standard for biometric accuracy and system reliability.

What our clients say

Facilities, operations and HR teams who now run their security on systems we designed and maintain.

We had three separate vendors for cameras, doors and alarms, and none of them would take responsibility when something failed. ZKSoftware EA consolidated all of it into one system and one contract. Faults get answered the same day now.


Robert SsekandiFacilities Manager, commercial property group — Kampala

Our branch network needed access control that auditors would accept. The team surveyed every site, produced the documentation we needed and rolled it out branch by branch without disrupting trading hours. The audit trail is exactly what we asked for.


Grace WanjiruHead of Operations, tier-two bank — Nairobi

With over nine hundred staff on rotating shifts, the paper register was unmanageable. The biometric terminals feed straight into payroll and the month-end arguments stopped. Installation was done over a weekend so production never paused.
