Industries

Built for how you sell

Retail and wholesale

Shops, boutiques, distributors

AdvaPOS gives retail and wholesale operators a single stack for the counter and the back office. Scan barcodes, manage variants and credit customers, and see branch performance without exporting spreadsheets. eTIMS runs on every sale so your team focuses on customers, not compliance paperwork. When you add locations, inventory and pricing stay centralized while each till keeps local speed.

  • Multi-branch
  • Barcode and variants
  • Credit sales

Pharmacy and chemist

Chemists and wellness retail

Pharmacies need batch traceability, expiry discipline, and receipts auditors trust. AdvaPOS tracks batches and stock movements while fiscalizing every transaction through native eTIMS. Staff permissions keep sensitive pricing and adjustments controlled. Whether you run a neighbourhood chemist or a small chain, web, desktop, and mobile stay aligned on stock and sales.

  • Batch tracking
  • eTIMS receipts
  • Expiry alerts

Hotels and lodging

Rooms, F&B, and front desk

Hotels sell across outlets: restaurant, bar, room service, and retail concessions. AdvaPOS splits outlets while rolling revenue up to group dashboards your finance team can trust. M-Pesa and card flows sit beside cash at the counter. Night-audit friendly reporting and staff roles mean front desk and F&B teams each see what they need without breaking KRA compliance.

  • Outlet splits
  • Staff permissions
  • Night audit

Bars and restaurants

Cafés, bars, kitchens

Service businesses live on speed. AdvaPOS keeps tickets moving with fast POS layouts, split payments, and menu-driven items linked to inventory depletion. Bars and kitchens get reliable printing and handheld options for peak hours. Every closed ticket carries eTIMS validation so you are not reconciling compliance after a busy weekend.

  • Fast POS
  • Split payments
  • Menu items

Cooperatives and SACCOs

Member stores and unions

Cooperatives must show members fair pricing and clean books. AdvaPOS supports member accounts, controlled discounts, and audit trails that stand up to governance review. Branch roll-ups let leadership see performance across member shops without losing local autonomy at each counter.

  • Member accounts
  • Audit trail
  • Branch roll-ups

Supermarkets and grocery

FMCG and minimarkets

Grocery operators process high basket counts and thin margins. AdvaPOS handles throughput at the till, supplier purchases, and promotions without slowing cashiers. Stock updates propagate to web dashboards so buyers see what is moving before shelves go empty. Multi-branch grocery groups use the same platform for minimarkets and larger stores.

  • High throughput
  • Supplier purchases
  • Promotions

Platform capabilities

Everything your retail operation needs

Modern POS terminal

Fast checkout with M-Pesa, card, and cash in one flow. Layouts tuned for retail, pharmacy, and hospitality counters.

Real-time eTIMS

KRA validation on every receipt without third-party middleware. Credit notes and adjustments stay in the same audit trail.

Centralized inventory

Stock levels update across stores and warehouses in real time. Transfers and adjustments carry approvals where you need control.

Business analytics

Sales trends, margins, and branch performance in one dashboard. Export-friendly views for finance and owners.

Customer CRM

Profiles, credit accounts, and loyalty programs that drive repeat business without a separate CRM subscription.

Stock transfers

Move inventory between branches with audit and approval trails. Depot and van sales stay tied to central stock.

Audit trail

Forensic logging of system actions to reduce shrinkage and fraud. Governance-friendly history for cooperatives and groups.

Enterprise security

Cloud hosting, daily backups, and role-based access controls. Staff see only the outlets and actions you assign.

KRA eTIMS

Compliance built in, not bolted on

AdvaPOS validates and fiscalizes transactions through native eTIMS integration. Your team does not juggle middleware boxes or manual uploads. Receipts, credit notes, and purchase documentation stay inside the same audit trail finance and KRA expect.

  • Real-time validation on sales and refunds
  • VSCU support for controlled environments
  • Credit notes and adjustments with history
  • Reverse invoicing for supplier gaps

Procurement and tax

Purchase tax records when suppliers do not issue ETRs

Record inbound purchases for KRA when suppliers do not issue ETRs, with purchase links and a full audit trail.

Talk to sales
  • Buyer-issued purchase documentation: records what you bought, not a sale to the supplier
  • Optional link to procurement for reconciliation
  • Draft, sign, and approve with document hash and full history
  • Same AdvaPOS identity, roles, and subscription you already trust

Available on the AdvaPOS cloud API for tenants with procurement access. For retailers that buy stock under formal tax regimes and need one system of record.
