Point of sale for Kenyan retailers
The till your shop can trust.
Debian POS runs the counter, M-Pesa, stock and staff. It keeps selling when the internet drops, checks every M-Pesa payment with Safaricom, and shows you what really happened today.
No card needed. Prices in shillings. Data kept in Africa.
Why shops switch
Three things you can stop worrying about.
Fake M-Pesa messages, a dead connection at the busiest hour, and money that leaks between the till and the bank.
M-Pesa you never have to check
Send the prompt to the customer's phone, or pick their payment from the till's list the moment it arrives. A code typed by hand stays unverified until Safaricom confirms it, so a fake M-Pesa message gets nowhere.
A till that keeps selling offline
When the connection drops, the till carries on: it rings up sales, prints receipts and sends each one exactly once when the line is back. No lost sales, no double counts.
Controls that close the leaks
Shifts with a blind cash-up, a manager's PIN for voids, refunds and large discounts, and an audit log of who changed what, and when.
Everything in one place
The whole shop, not just the counter.
From the batch on the shelf to the profit at month end, every part of running a shop works from the same stock and the same customers.
-
Stock in batches
Buying prices and expiry dates per batch, first to expire sold first, counts and losses.
-
Barcodes and labels
Scan with a scanner or a phone's camera, print shelf labels, sell weighed items by their scale label.
-
Customers and loyalty
Points, tiers and referrals, with SMS campaigns sent only to customers who agreed.
-
Quotes and pre-orders
Quote in seconds, turn a quote into a sale, and take deposits on goods you order in.
-
Imports and landed cost
Follow a shipment from the supplier to the shelf and know what each item really cost.
-
Reports that answer questions
Daily sales, profit by product, stock that is not selling and what to reorder next.
-
Receipts your way
80 or 58 mm rolls, a link by SMS, in English or Kiswahili.

-
Expenses
Receipts attached, and approval for anything above your limit.
