POS System for Kenyan Retail & Hospitality

Point of sale built for Kenyan shops and restaurants. Inventory tracking, sales reporting, and offline-capable checkout. Works even when the internet doesn't.

What is the POS System?

The POS System is point of sale software built for Kenyan retail shops, supermarkets, restaurants, and hospitality businesses. It replaces manual cash registers and scattered records with a single system that tracks every sale, every item, and every shilling.

Ring up sales quickly, accept cash or M-Pesa, print receipts, and see your inventory update in real time. The system works offline, so a network outage doesn't stop your business. When connectivity returns, everything syncs automatically.

Engineered for Kenya: M-Pesa integration, offline resilience, and the workflows that local retailers rely on every day.

Features

Everything you need to run your shop

Tailored for Kenyan retail workflows, not a copy-paste solution designed for other markets.

Fast checkout

Ring up sales quickly with barcode scanning or product search. Process transactions in seconds, even during busy periods. Customers don't wait.

Inventory tracking

Every sale automatically deducts from stock. See what's in stock, what's running low, and what's not moving. Set reorder alerts so you never run out.

M-Pesa integration

Accept M-Pesa payments directly. Payments are recorded and matched to sales automatically, reducing manual reconciliation at the end of the day.

Offline capability

The system works even when the internet is down. Process sales, track inventory, and print receipts offline. Data syncs when you're back online.

Sales reports

See sales by day, week, month, product, category, or staff member. Know your best sellers, slow movers, and profit margins at a glance.

Receipt printing

Print customer receipts automatically. Supports thermal receipt printers. Also send digital receipts via SMS or email if customers prefer.

Staff management

Create accounts for each staff member. Track sales by staff, set permissions, and see who processed which transactions for accountability.

Multiple payment methods

Accept cash, M-Pesa, card payments, or split payments. The system tracks each payment method separately for easy end-of-day reconciliation.

Local workflows: Credit sales, customer accounts, bulk discounts, and the way Kenyan retailers actually do business are built in from day one.

Full data access: Your sales data and inventory belong to you. Export sales records, stock lists, and financial reports anytime. No lock-in fees, no restrictions, no hoops to jump through.
