Counter POS & M-Pesa

Scan, sell, and reconcile before the next customer arrives

Walk-in trade punishes slow counters. The best Kenyan parts shops combine barcode scan, fitment lookup, and M-Pesa checkout in one screen.

Counter bottlenecks

  • Search-by-memory when codes are missing
  • VAT calculated manually on a calculator
  • M-Pesa not matched to the receipt number
  • End-of-day totals that do not tie to stock movement

POS workflow that keeps lines short

  • Barcode scan and smart search
  • Cart with discounts and VAT lines
  • M-Pesa, till, and cash on one ticket
  • Receipts customers and fleets accept
  • Sales tied to inventory movement automatically

FAQ

Is Garaji Autoparts only for retail shops?
Workshop parts counters use the same POS — issue to jobs or walk-in customers from one stock pool.
