UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) — Critical for Kenya
Kenya's power fluctuations and outages make UPS systems essential for any serious office. Power surges can destroy computers and corrupt important data. A good UPS gives you 10–30 minutes of runtime after a power cut — enough to save your work and safely shut down.

- Request a Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) ETR receipt for all purchases over KSh 500 for VAT reclaim
