# What POS System Is Best for a Small Shop or Duka?

Small shops lose money to unrecorded sales, credit and stock mistakes because everything is in notebooks.

Do you know what sold today, and who sold it?

Read on: it takes a few minutes and could save you a lot more than that.

**In this guide you will see:**

- Fast checkout with barcode or touch screen.
- Live stock and low-stock alerts.
- Credit customers and M-Pesa tracking.

Quick answer

Small shops lose money to unrecorded sales, credit and stock mistakes because everything is in notebooks. A POS system speeds checkout, tracks stock and cash, issues proper receipts and gives daily reports, so you know what sold, what is low and who handled the till.
