What POS Software does for a property developer
A POS rings up each sale, takes M-Pesa and cash, prints a receipt and updates stock in one step. For a property developer, the value shows up exactly where the work is hardest.
A developer tracks land/projects, units under construction, pre-sales agreements and buyer payment schedules. Development margins are strong but capital tied up in projects is significant.
Buyers need clear payment schedules, unit agreements and compliant invoices. Veira handles that as part of the same sale, so compliance is not a separate evening job.
Property Developers run differently, and the software should too
A generic till misses the details that decide whether a property developer makes money. These are the ones that matter:
- 1
The daily reality
Project timeline and milestone tracking. POS Software built for a property developer turns that into a number you can act on, and you also sell in seconds on a phone, tablet or the free Veira terminal.
- 2
Where the margin leaks
Construction cost management. POS Software built for a property developer turns that into a number you can act on, and you also take Buy Goods, Paybill and Pochi la Biashara payments at the till.
- 3
What slows the counter
Buyer pre-sales and payments. POS Software built for a property developer turns that into a number you can act on, and you also keep selling offline and sync the moment the network returns.
- 4
What buyers expect
Unit allocations and handover. POS Software built for a property developer turns that into a number you can act on, and you also file a compliant eTIMS invoice on every sale automatically.
What to look for in POS Software for a property developer
- Offline mode that keeps the queue moving during outages. This matters for a property developer because of project timeline and milestone tracking.
- M-Pesa built in so payments reconcile themselves. This matters for a property developer because of construction cost management.
- eTIMS filing included, not a paid add on. This matters for a property developer because of buyer pre-sales and payments.
- Live reports you can open from your phone. This matters for a property developer because of unit allocations and handover.
A notebook and a basic till, or Veira
| Notebook or basic till | Veira | |
|---|---|---|
| Counting stock | By hand, rarely matches the shelf | Live by item, branch and value |
| M-Pesa at the counter | Checked on a separate phone | Matched to each sale automatically |
| eTIMS invoices | Typed in later, if at all | Filed on every sale, even offline |
| Knowing your numbers | A monthly guess | Live margin and takings on your phone |
