General POS

At the till

Keep the queue moving on every till

Packaged goods and scale labels

Scan ordinary product barcodes or EAN-13 scale labels containing weight or price. Configure the label layout and link each scale item code to its product. Hold and resume carts on the desktop.

M-Pesa payment confirmation

Send a payment prompt to the customer and receive confirmation at the till. Cashiers can also record cash or a card payment with its terminal reference.

Cash checkout during outages

Configured desktop tills save cash sales locally during an internet outage and send them for reconciliation when the connection returns.

Promotions and shift records

Set product offers that apply at checkout. Cashiers open and close shifts, count their drawer and record any difference for review.

Behind the counter

Stock, tax and customers in one place

Supplier orders and receiving

Create purchase orders and receive full or partial deliveries against them. Record supplier invoice references, batches and expiry dates. Staff can receive orders from the Android app.

Branch stock and pricing

Count stock and track transfers from dispatch to receipt. Set prices by branch, apply bulk price changes and print barcode labels for shelves.

KRA eTIMS integration

Submit invoices through the configured eTIMS integration. Products need their eTIMS item codes, and the submission service must be set up for your business.

Customer accounts

Enrol customers in loyalty, set credit terms and record collections against credit invoices. Managers control which staff can change terms or adjust points.

For owners

Know how every branch is doing

Compare sales across branches and review best sellers, reported profit and cashier activity. Export reports for your accountant. Import product and price files, or use scoped API tokens to connect sales and stock records to another business system.

The tills keep selling for cash. Sales are saved on each till and sent to the system when the connection comes back.

Yes. You choose how much a customer spends to earn one point and what a point is worth. Enrolled customers earn on what they pay and can use their points at any till.
