Choosing the best POS system in Addis Ababa: 5 things to check
The best point of sale for a shop in Addis Ababa is the one that matches how your customers pay, keeps working when the power or the internet drops, and stops money and stock from slipping away. Here is what to check, and how APOPS POS, the CheckThis point of sale, does it.
The top 5
- It runs on the phone or tablet you already haveNo special hardware: APOPS POS runs on an Android phone or tablet, and the camera scans barcodes. Add a receipt printer or a cash drawer only if you want them.
- It records telebirr, CBE Birr and M-Pesa Ethiopia properlyEach mobile money reference is typed once and can never be used again, and a supervisor ticks it off against the merchant statement.
- It keeps selling without internetThe item list stays on the device; sales made offline print their receipt and upload by themselves when the connection is back.
- It controls the cash drawerEach shift starts with a float and ends with a count; any shortage or excess in ETB is recorded and checked by a supervisor. Refunds and big discounts need a second person.
- It takes the goods out of stockEvery sale reduces the stock in that shop at once, so the shelf and the system always agree, and every sale is also a paid invoice in your records.
In Addis Ababa
A café in Bole or a shop in Piassa takes cash, telebirr and CBE Birr in the same queue. APOPS POS records each reference once, counts the drawer against the expected birr at the end of the shift, and keeps selling through power and network cuts.

Questions
Does CheckThis work in Addis Ababa?
Yes. CheckThis runs in the browser on any phone, tablet or computer, the interface is also available in Amharic (in preview), and the point of sale keeps selling without internet.
Can I invoice in Ethiopian birr?
Yes. Choose the birr as the currency of your documents; US dollars are converted at the rate you keep on each document.
How are telebirr and CBE Birr payments recorded?
The cashier types the payment reference from the customer's message; each reference can be used only once and is checked against your statement.
