Three things no other platform offers South African SMBs out of the box.
Xero and QuickBooks were designed for the UK and US. Their "SARS compliance" is an afterthought. Task4U was built in South Africa — our tax module handles VAT, PAYE, UIF and SDL calculations natively, and generates SARS-ready forms automatically.
Snap a photo of any receipt or invoice with your phone. Task4U's AI extracts the details and automatically reconciles it against your records — no manual data entry, no lost paper receipts, no hours spent on month-end catch-up.
Sage and Xero only do accounting. To get project management, fleet, HR and CRM, you'd need separate tools — and the costs add up fast. Task4U gives you 29 integrated modules at R2,000/month flat. Use two modules or all twenty-nine.
Sage + a project tool + a fleet tool + an HR tool adds up fast. Task4U replaces them all.
Plus: 5 logins, 5 support contracts, 5 training exercises, no integration.
One login, one support contact, one integrated platform.
"We were using Sage for accounting and a separate system for our fleet. Task4U replaced both and now everything talks to each other. The SARS tax module alone saves us hours every month."

"We tried Xero and found it wasn't built for SA at all. Task4U just works for our VAT returns and the photo reconciliation is a game changer for our field team's expenses."
