About Scales Technology Solutions Ltd (Scalestech)
Our Story: From Nairobi to East Africa Since 2019
Founded in Nairobi in 2019, Scalestech began with a clear mission: to make precision measurement accessible and affordable to Kenyan businesses of every size. In the years since, we have installed weighing solutions in over 500 businesses across Kenya, and expanded our regional reach into Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda, and Zambia.
Our growth reflects a simple truth: accurate measurement is the backbone of operational success. From tracking livestock weight on farms in Nakuru to ensuring regulatory compliance for trucks crossing the Uganda-Kenya border at Busia, our clients trust Scalestech because we combine world-class equipment with local technical expertise.
KENAS & ISO-Certified: Why Our Certifications Matter
Scales Technology Solutions Ltd holds certification from KENAS (Kenya National Accreditation Service) and operates to ISO standards — credentials that are not merely badges, but legally meaningful in Kenyan commerce. Under the Kenya Weights and Measures Act (Cap. 513), any weighing device used for trade must be verified by an approved body. Using a non-certified scale risks fines, regulatory action, and customer disputes.
Our ISO 17025 calibration laboratory means your scales can be calibrated to internationally recognized standards — critical for pharmaceutical companies, laboratories, food processors, and any firm subject to export certification. When you choose Scalestech, you choose legal compliance built in.

Our Core Services Across Kenya
Scalestech provides the full lifecycle of weighing technology: from initial consultation and product supply, through installation and integration, to ongoing maintenance, repair, and calibration. Below is a detailed overview of our six primary service areas.
Industrial Weighing Scales for Manufacturing & Logistics
Kenya's manufacturing sector — concentrated in Nairobi's Industrial Area, Athi River, and Thika Road — demands weighing equipment that can withstand continuous operation in harsh environments. Our industrial scale portfolio includes heavy-duty floor scales rated from 300 kg to 20,000 kg, pallet truck scales for warehouse inventory management, animal and livestock weighing platforms for the dairy and meat processing industries in Nakuru and Eldoret, and washdown-rated stainless steel scales compliant with food safety requirements.
We are an authorized distributor of Aclas — one of the world's leading precision retail scales manufacturers — as well as ESIT, T-scale, Mettler Toledo, and Zemic load cells. This ensures our industrial clients receive equipment built to global performance standards while benefiting from our local installation and support network.

Weighbridge Installation, Maintenance & Software Integration
Weighbridges are the cornerstone of Kenya's transport and logistics compliance infrastructure. The Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA) and NTSA enforce strict axle load limits; non-compliant trucks face fines up to KES 500,000 per overload violation. Scalestech designs and installs pitless and pit-type weighbridges from 30 tons to 120 tons capacity, customized to your site and operational requirements.
Beyond hardware, we integrate weighbridge systems with ERP software, providing real-time transaction records, automated ticket printing, anti-fraud controls, and fleet management dashboards. Our maintenance contracts ensure your weighbridge remains KEBS-compliant and operationally available year-round.
Key weighbridge installation locations: Nairobi Industrial Area, Mombasa Port access roads, Eldoret logistics hubs, Busia and Malaba border crossings.

Retail & POS Systems for Shops, Supermarkets and Restaurants
Kenya's retail sector is rapidly digitalizing. From neighborhood dukas in Eastlands to supermarket chains in Nairobi CBD, business owners need POS systems that integrate seamlessly with their weighing scales, manage inventory in real time, and generate digital receipts compliant with KRA's eTIMS requirements.
Scalestech supplies and configures complete POS ecosystems: Android smart POS terminals, thermal receipt printers, barcode scanners, cash drawers, and customer-facing displays. Our POS software solutions cover restaurants and cafés, retail shops and pharmacies, butcheries and wet markets, and supermarkets needing multi-department scale integration.
We ensure every system is configured for Kenyan tax compliance including VAT and Excise Duty mapping, and can integrate with M-Pesa payment rails for seamless mobile money acceptance — a critical feature in the Kenyan market where over 90% of digital transactions flow through Safaricom's network.

Scale Calibration Services — ISO 17025 Certified
Calibration is not optional — it is a legal requirement under the Kenya Weights and Measures Act for any scale used in trade. Scalestech operates an ISO 17025-accredited calibration service offering on-site calibration at your facility or off-site calibration at our laboratory. We issue KENAS-traceable calibration certificates accepted by regulatory bodies, quality auditors, and export certification agencies.
Our calibration services cover precision analytical balances (0.001 g resolution), retail and commercial scales, industrial platform and floor scales, medical and baby scales, crane and hanging scales, and weighbridge systems. Typical calibration cycle: 6 months for trade-critical equipment, 12 months for low-risk applications. We maintain calibration records digitally, enabling audit-ready documentation on demand.

IoT & Smart Weighing Solutions for Modern Industry
East Africa's manufacturing and agribusiness sectors are embracing Industry 4.0 technologies, and Scalestech is positioned at that intersection. Our IoT weighing solutions embed remote monitoring sensors into floor scales, hoppers, silos, and weighbridges — streaming live weight data to cloud dashboards accessible from any device.
Use cases in the East African context include: real-time milk collection data for dairy cooperatives, automated grain silo inventory monitoring for Food for Education, and tank telemetry systems for CO2 for Carbacid.
Remote monitoring eliminates the need for manual data entry, reduces errors, and enables predictive maintenance — typically reducing equipment downtime by 30–40% based on industry benchmarks from smart manufacturing deployments.

Industries We Serve Across Kenya and East Africa
Agriculture & Livestock — Nakuru, Eldoret, Kisumu
Kenya's agricultural sector contributes approximately 33% of GDP and employs over 40% of the workforce. Accurate weighing is central to fair trade at every point in the value chain — from livestock auctions at Eldoret showground to tea leaf collection in Kericho, grain trading at Nakuru's commodity markets, and milk intake at dairy cooperatives across the Rift Valley.
Scalestech supplies livestock weighing platforms with livestock crush integration, portable field scales for tea and coffee collection, grain hopper scales for silo management, and milk weighing systems with automatic data logging. Our equipment is designed for outdoor use in Kenya's variable climate — dustproof, water-resistant, and field-serviceable.
Manufacturing & Industrial — Nairobi Industrial Area, Athi River, Thika
Kenya's manufacturing corridor runs from the Nairobi Industrial Area through Athi River Export Processing Zone to Thika's industrial belt. Clients in this segment include food and beverage processors, pharmaceutical manufacturers, textile and garment factories, chemical blending facilities, and steel and metal fabricators. We provide OIML-certified platform scales, checkweighers, counting scales, and weighbridge systems tailored to production and logistics requirements.
Transport & Logistics — Mombasa Port, SGR Corridor
The Northern Corridor — linking Mombasa Port to Nairobi and onward to Uganda, Rwanda, and DRC — is one of Africa's busiest freight routes. Overloading is a major cost driver for road damage and a primary enforcement target for KeNHA. Scalestech installs axle weighers and truck scales at private logistics facilities, helping fleet operators measure compliance before reaching public weigh stations.
Healthcare & Laboratories
From National Hospital to private clinics , our medical scales include BMI analyzers, neonatal baby scales, height-weight stadiometers, and body composition analyzers. Our analytical balances serve pharmaceutical quality control labs, university research departments, and food safety testing facilities requiring precision to 0.001 g.
Regional Coverage — Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda, Zambia
Scalestech's primary operations are concentrated in Nairobi (headquarters), Mombasa (coastal operations), Kisumu (western Kenya), Nakuru and Eldoret (Rift Valley agriculture hub). We provide nationwide coverage for sales and installation, with dedicated service teams in each major urban center.
Regionally, we serve clients in Kampala (Uganda), Dar es Salaam and Arusha (Tanzania), Kigali (Rwanda), Lusaka (Zambia), and Khartoum (Sudan) through a combination of direct supply, authorized partners, and remote technical support.
