Fiscari issues compliant invoices, tracks your stock, and produces VAT reports your accountant can actually use — and it keeps selling even when ZRA's system is down. Set up and supported in Lusaka.
A product by Deviatov Software — systems running Zambian operations for 10+ years.
Built for any business that invoices
Electronic invoicing via ZRA Smart Invoice is required for every VAT-registered business in Zambia (SI No. 58 of 2023).
Only invoices issued through Smart Invoice qualify for input VAT claims. Non-compliant invoices cost you real money.
Enforcement began 1 October 2024. Compliance is not optional — but it doesn't have to be painful.
Every flow ZRA tests for certification, built into an ERP your team will want to use.
Tax invoices with QR code, SDC block, and every mandatory field — normal, LPO, and export sales. Consecutive, tamper-proof numbering.
Full or partial credit notes linked to the original invoice with reason codes — the flow auditors and accountants actually check.
Pull purchase invoices straight from Smart Invoice, approve or reject them, and update stock — plus capture from non-Smart-Invoice suppliers.
Retrieve import declarations, approve or reject, and bring imported goods into stock with the right tax treatment.
Stock movements transmitted as ZRA requires: adjustments in and out, stock takes, and item master sync with UNSPSC classification.
VAT transaction reports and schedules exported to Excel in the format your accountant asks for at month-end.
ZRA's system down? Internet gone? You keep invoicing — Fiscari queues everything and transmits automatically the moment it's back.
User-level access control and a full audit trail of originals and amendments — no edits or deletions after issue, as the law requires.
Most compliance software does one thing: issue invoices. Fiscari is built so the part ZRA certifies stays locked and untouched, while the rest of the system grows with your business.
So when you need something extra — a report your accountant wants, a way to track your deliveries, payroll, anything specific to how you work — we add it on top. Your invoicing to ZRA keeps working exactly as certified, no matter what we add.
Fiscari's fiscal engine isn't waiting for its first customer — it already fiscalises invoices every day inside production systems we built and operate.
A poultry distribution network and a medical clinic issue ZRA-compliant invoices through this middleware daily — deployed, monitored, and supported by us.
Monitoring services watch the ZRA connection around the clock, catch failed transmissions, resend them automatically, and restart what needs restarting — usually before anyone notices.
Every deployment uses the same version-pinned compliance library — the part ZRA certifies — so a fix or an upgrade lands for everyone, and custom work never touches it.
Many businesses grabbed whatever worked before the deadline — and now live with slow, clunky systems, double capture, and reports the accountant can't use. Moving to Fiscari is a three-step process.
We look at your current invoicing, stock, and VAT workflow and tell you exactly what migration involves — no obligation.
Your old system keeps working while we set up items, customers, opening stock, and branch devices. No downtime, no lost invoices.
Your team is trained, you switch over, and support is a WhatsApp message to the developer in Lusaka — not an offshore ticket queue.
What Zambian businesses ask us most.
Every VAT-registered taxpayer in Zambia, under the VAT (Electronic Invoicing System) Regulations, SI No. 58 of 2023. Since 1 January 2025, only invoices issued through Smart Invoice qualify for input VAT claims and deductions.
The free ZRA portal means typing every invoice twice — once in your records, once for ZRA. A VSDC-integrated ERP issues the compliant invoice as a by-product of running your business: your sale, your stock movement, and your ZRA transmission are one action, not three.
Sometimes. If your current system works well, we can look at integrating it with the certified fiscal engine. If it's Excel or a system you've outgrown, Fiscari replaces it — invoicing, stock, purchases, and VAT reports in one place.
You keep selling. Whether ZRA's system is down or your internet is, Fiscari keeps issuing invoices and transmits them automatically once ZRA is reachable again — as the Smart Invoice specification provides for.
A straightforward business — items, customers, one branch — is typically live within days. Migrations from an existing system depend on data quality; the free review gives you an honest timeline before you commit.
Fiscari is built by Deviatov Software, a Lusaka systems developer whose ERPs have run Zambian agricultural and processing operations for over a decade — with clients retained for 10+ years.
