Manage checkout and supplier deliveries across your branches. Set prices and staff permissions from the desktop, take M-Pesa at the till, and check sales or receive stock from your phone.
From KES 15,000, paid once. We set it up, back it up and keep it updated, and the first year is included.
Keeps selling when the internet goes off
Cash sales are saved on the till and sent once you are back online.
M-Pesa confirmed at the till
The customer pays from the prompt on their phone and the till marks the sale paid, so cashiers do not have to check messages.
Cash that adds up
At the end of every shift the cashier counts the drawer and the till records any shortage.
KRA eTIMS
Send your sales to KRA from the same system you sell with.

General POS
Give staff the access their role needs
Each member of staff has a separate account. Set their permissions and branch access, and review who recorded a discount, void or refund. Keep customer loyalty points and credit collections in the same system.
You do not need an IT person or your own server. Your first payment covers the setup and a year of running it for you.
Set up by us
Pay by M-Pesa and your system is ready a few minutes later. Then add your products and staff and open the till.
Backed up every day
Your sales and stock are backed up daily, so a broken computer does not take your records with it.
Updates without the work
New versions and fixes are free. The app tells you when one is out and updates itself.
Your data and hosting choice
Your business owns its data. Supermarkets and other large shops can host General POS on their own servers at an agreed price, with software development and update delivery from Velinex Labs. Contact us to discuss the setup.
