There is another way out that safcom is not giving you but can, before i yap on something that might have been privileged(though beneficial to all in the list doing something similar) Please call me *721804390. If its workable and unprivileged , you can share with the list.

#! /usr/bin/hope -w
#$file: angel.mine  script
use strict;
#Keep Going
# become s good child
my $pid = fork();
print $pid,"\n";
while(1) {
  sleep(never);

Dear great people,

I am currently developing a system that allows customers to make payments for items through mpesa using the safaricom paybill system.

Works pretty well extracting the data from the excel sheet safcom normally provides and updating the accounts. However, my challenge is that I want to eliminate that human intervention where one has to import the excel from mpesa database and then upload to the ERp system we are developing.. I know an API would be the solution but of course Safcom wont give you access to database so no way to get the data update seamlessly.

Any one with such an experience and do you have some kind or recommendations basically to assure the client on data integrity.

regards
Oliver
