What POS Software does for a software development company
A POS rings up each sale, takes M-Pesa and cash, prints a receipt and updates stock in one step. For a software development company, the value shows up exactly where the work is hardest.
Software development companies track projects, development progress, testing and deployment. Software development margins are very strong on custom solutions.
Clients expect quality code, security, scalability and responsive support. Veira handles that as part of the same sale, so compliance is not a separate evening job.
Software Development Companies run differently, and the software should too
A generic till misses the details that decide whether a software development company makes money. These are the ones that matter:
- 1
The daily reality
Project timeline and scope management. POS Software built for a software development company 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
Development and testing phases. POS Software built for a software development company 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
Client communication and change requests. POS Software built for a software development company 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
Deployment and support. POS Software built for a software development company turns that into a number you can act on, and you also file a compliant eTIMS invoice on every sale automatically.

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 |
