From Sign-Up to ZIMRA Compliance
Four simple steps to replace legacy hardware with cloud-native virtual fiscalisation. Most businesses go live within 48 hours.
to full compliance
Assess
Business Analysis
We start by understanding your business — your POS system, sales volume, existing workflows, and compliance needs.
System Audit
Our team evaluates your current accounting and POS systems. We identify the optimal integration path — whether that's a direct API connection, middleware bridge, or standalone VFD deployment.
Custom Integration Plan
You receive a tailored deployment blueprint outlining exactly how Fiscal Shift will connect to your infrastructure, what data flows will look like, and a projected go-live date.
Stakeholder Alignment
We brief your finance team, IT staff, and management on the transition process. Everyone understands what changes, what stays the same, and what to expect on launch day.
Software Deployment
Our engineers deploy the VFD software on your existing server, workstation, or cloud environment. No new hardware purchases — it runs alongside your current systems.
API Bridge Configuration
We connect Fiscal Shift to your POS or ERP via secure API. Sage Evolution, QuickBooks, SAP Business One, Shopify — our connectors ensure automatic transaction capture with zero manual input.
FDMS Connection & Testing
We establish the secure connection to ZIMRA's Fiscalisation Data Management System and run comprehensive end-to-end tests. Test transactions are submitted and verified before anything goes live.
Integrate
Deploy & Connect
Our engineers deploy your VFD software remotely, connect it to your POS, and test the FDMS link — all without visiting your premises.
Go Live
Launch Day
Your business starts fiscalising every transaction in real time. Fiscal receipts are generated automatically, and data flows to ZIMRA continuously.
Automatic Fiscal Receipts
Every taxable sale automatically generates a ZIMRA-compliant fiscal receipt. Digital or printed — your choice. The receipt includes the fiscal verification code, QR code, and all required tax breakdown data.
Real-Time FDMS Transmission
Transaction data is transmitted to ZIMRA's servers instantly. No batch uploads. No end-of-day manual submissions. Real-time compliance, every single transaction.
Staff Training
We provide hands-on training for your cashiers, accountants, and management. Your team learns to use the dashboard, verify fiscal receipts, and handle edge cases. We don't leave until everyone is confident.
24/7 Connection Monitoring
Our systems watch your FDMS connection around the clock. If anything drops — a network hiccup, a server restart, an ISP issue — we detect it instantly and take action before it affects your compliance.
Automatic Software Updates
When ZIMRA updates their requirements or we improve the platform, updates roll out automatically. You're always running the latest, most compliant version — with zero effort on your side.
Cloud Dashboard & Reporting
Access your compliance dashboard from anywhere. View transaction history, download fiscal reports, monitor transmission status, and generate audit-ready documentation — all from one clean interface.
Dedicated Support
WhatsApp, email, or phone — our Bulawayo-based support team is always reachable. Annual license holders get priority 24/7 support and a dedicated account manager.
Monitor
Ongoing Support
We don't disappear after launch. Continuous monitoring, automatic updates, and always-on support keep you compliant for the long haul.
What You Need
Spoiler: not much. If you have a computer and internet, you're probably ready.
Any Computer
Windows, Linux, or macOS. Desktop, laptop, or server. If it can run a modern OS, it can run Fiscal Shift.
Internet Connection
Any stable internet connection — broadband, fibre, or even mobile data. Data usage is minimal (kilobytes per transaction).
ZIMRA Registration
Your business must be VAT-registered with ZIMRA. We handle the virtual device registration process as part of onboarding.
