POS software for convenience stores and mini-marts in Kenya

Between 6am and 9am, and again after work, customers want bread, milk and a top-up and they want it fast. A slow till, a cashier hunting for prices in a notebook, or a system that freezes when the internet drops turns a two-minute sale into a five-minute one — and the person at the back of the queue walks to the shop next door.

Fast movers like sugar, cooking oil, unga and soda disappear quickly, while slow lines sit gathering dust and tying up cash. Without live stock counts you reorder from memory, run out of the items customers actually came for, and over-buy things that sell twice a month.

Small items walk out, cashiers give unrecorded discounts, refunds get processed with no receipt, and at the end of the day the cash drawer is short by a few hundred shillings. With paper records there is no way to trace which shift, which till or which product the gap came from.

Once taxable turnover passes the KES 5,000,000 registration threshold, VAT registration, monthly VAT3 returns on iTax and eTIMS-compliant invoicing all become part of running the shop. Rebuilding sales and purchase records from a shoebox of receipts at month-end is stressful and error-prone.

Scan a barcode or tap a product tile and the sale is done. Tallium AI's POS handles cash, card and mobile money payments, splits a payment across methods, and prints or emails a receipt. Price changes made once apply at every till and every branch, so cashiers never guess.

Each sale, return, purchase order and stock transfer adjusts your counts in real time. Set reorder levels on your fast movers and Tallium AI flags them before the shelf is empty, so your morning bread and milk rush never meets an empty crate.

Every user gets their own login — and because Tallium AI has unlimited users with no per-seat fees, you can give one to every cashier and shift supervisor without paying more. Roles and permissions control who can discount, void or refund, and shift reports show expected versus counted cash so differences surface the same day, not next month.

Sales flow from the till straight into your accounts, purchase invoices and expenses are captured by AI receipt scanning, and VAT is tracked as you go so the figures for your VAT3 return on iTax are ready when you need them. Confirm current rules, rates and eTIMS obligations with KRA or a local tax professional.
