A POS (point of sale) system is the till, scanner, printer and software that record every sale, update your stock, accept cash, M-Pesa and cards, and produce receipts and reports. A good setup stops losses, speeds queues and gives you numbers you can trust. Qyvea supplies POS hardware from stock with live prices and sets up the software, training and tax-compliant receipts for each business.
Key takeaways
- POS = software plus till hardware: screen, scanner, printer, cash drawer.
- Stock control and reports are the real payoff.
- Receipts should meet KRA eTIMS requirements; confirm with KRA or your accountant.
- Accept cash, M-Pesa and cards from one screen.
- Start with one till and add branches later.
