What is Point of Sale (POS)?
A point of sale (POS) system is the hardware + software that handles a customer transaction, scanning items, calculating prices, accepting payment, printing a receipt and updating stock.
A real Kenyan example
A supermarket till that scans a barcode, adds VAT, accepts M-Pesa or card, prints a thermal receipt and files an eTIMS invoice.
Why it matters
A good POS is the operating spine of any retail or hospitality business, it touches every sale and every margin.
How Veira helps
Veira POS runs on Android, on a Windows or macOS desktop, in the browser and on the Veira terminal, with M-Pesa, KRA eTIMS, inventory and reports built in.
