Pangoni + Zoho Books
Run your rentals in Pangoni and your books in Zoho Books — with rent, expenses, and contacts staying in sync without double entry.
What you'll be able to do
- Post Pangoni rent receipts as sales invoices or customer payments in Zoho Books.
- Sync tenants to Zoho contacts, including phone, email, and ID details.
- Push expenses into Zoho with the right category and property tag.
- Auto-reconcile M-Pesa receipts against open invoices.
- Pull month-end income and expense summaries for owner statements.
Building something sooner? The Pangoni API is open today — your developer can wire Zoho Books to Pangoni directly. See the API overview for endpoints and authentication.
Why this matters for Kenyan landlords
Zoho Books is the most cost-effective accounting platform with serious capability for African small businesses — multi-currency, automated bank reconciliation, customer portals, and KRA-compliant invoicing for Kenyan users. It's the natural fit for landlords who want proper accounting without the QuickBooks or Xero price tag. Pangoni's Zoho Books integration sends rent receipts and expense bills directly into your Zoho ledger with no manual data entry.
How the Zoho Books integration works
Once shipped, setup looks like this. Your data flows in the background; you keep working in both tools.
Connect Zoho Books
OAuth flow with the Zoho Books API. The integration uses your Zoho organisation and the chart of accounts you have already set up.
Map properties to projects or branches
Zoho Books supports projects and (on higher plans) branches — Pangoni maps each property to the level you choose.
Configure the account mapping
Sales accounts for rent, expense accounts for property costs, and an income account for service charge recoveries.
Tenants sync as customers
Pangoni pushes tenants as Zoho contacts with payment terms and contact details.
Pull reports from Zoho
Run P&L per property, rent roll, and KRA-ready summaries directly from Zoho Books once data is flowing.
Real use cases from Kenyan landlords
- A landlord with 25 units using Zoho One for the rest of their business: Pangoni feeds rent into Zoho Books, keeping everything in one Zoho org.
- A property management agency picking Zoho for cost reasons: full multi-property accounting at a fraction of the QuickBooks/Xero cost.
- A landlord scaling from 5 to 30 units: Zoho Books grows with you and the Pangoni integration scales with it.
