Step 1
Open and sell
One login, one till, customers already at the door.
- Sign in as cashier on the Android POS.
- Search or scan the item into Point of Sale.
- Take cash or send M-Pesa STK push.
- Hand over a receipt if the customer wants one.
POS for Small Shops & Dukas
POS for small shops and dukas that sell from a phone
A Kenyan duka cannot wait for a technician or a fibre line. Zeni POS is a point of sale for small shops: ring cash and M-Pesa on Android, keep stock honest, and let the owner see sales from the supplier run — without a supermarket-sized project.
Challenges small shops & dukas face
- One attendant doing everything, including M-Pesa matching from SMS
- Stock books that lag the shelf by days
- Fear of expensive POS machines they cannot repair locally
- Internet that drops in the estate mid-afternoon
- No idea which items actually make profit versus turning cash
What Zeni POS gives you
- Android Point of Sale on the phone you already own
- M-Pesa STK push matched to the sale
- Inventory and low-stock alerts
- Offline selling when data drops
- Simple product list — type or scan
- Profit & Loss so turnover is not confused with profit
Day-to-day workflows
Concrete steps your team can follow from open to close — not generic feature lists.
Step 2
Receive stock
Do not put new goods on the shelf until they are in the system.
- Add quantities in Inventory when the supplier drops goods.
- Update cost if the buying price changed.
- Check dashboard alerts for sugar, oil and other movers.
- Keep price edits on a manager account.
Step 3
Close the day
Know cash and M-Pesa before you lock the grille.
- Open Transactions for the day.
- Count cash against cash sales.
- Match M-Pesa totals without SMS archaeology.
- Glance at P&L when you want margin, not only takings.
