Choosing the best POS system in Mogadishu: 5 things to check

The best point of sale for a shop in Mogadishu 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

  1. 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.
  2. It records EVC Plus, Zaad, Sahal and eDahab properlyEach mobile money reference is typed once and can never be used again, and a supervisor ticks it off against the merchant statement.
  3. 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.
  4. It controls the cash drawerEach shift starts with a float and ends with a count; any shortage or excess in USD is recorded and checked by a supervisor. Refunds and big discounts need a second person.
  5. 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 Mogadishu

A busy Mogadishu counter takes US dollars, Somali shillings and EVC Plus in the same hour. APOPS POS keeps them apart: cash is counted against the expected amount at the end of the shift, and each EVC Plus reference is typed once and checked against the merchant statement.

Questions

Does CheckThis work in Mogadishu?

Yes. CheckThis runs in the browser on any phone, tablet or computer with internet, and the point of sale keeps selling when the internet goes down.

Can my customers pay by EVC Plus?

Yes. At the counter, the cashier types the EVC Plus reference from the customer's message. For invoices, connect your own WaafiPay merchant account and customers pay through a link; the money goes straight to your account.

Can I keep my books in US dollars?

Yes. Choose US dollars or Somali shillings as your currency; the other is converted at the rate you keep on each document.
