The till that never goes down.

VortexPOS is our most battle-tested platform — a retail point of sale that has run supermarket lanes, chain stores and specialty retail for over a decade. It doesn't rely on the internet — the counter keeps selling with or without a connection — fiscal to the letter, fluent in every tender Kenyans actually pay with — and connected to the VortexERP back office when you're ready.

Capabilities

Everything a serious till needs

No internet? No problem.

VortexPOS never needs the internet to make a sale. The connection drops, the queue keeps moving — every receipt is stored safely at the till and syncs itself the moment you're back online. Nothing lost, nothing re-keyed, nobody kept waiting.

Fiscal, completely

KRA TIMS/eTIMS signing plus certified fiscal printer integrations — Incotex, Ditron, Tremol and more. Every receipt compliant as it prints, with full fiscal logs.

Every tender, one drawer

Cash, EFT card payments, M-Pesa and other mobile money, cheques, meal vouchers, multi-currency — split any way the customer wants to pay.

Manager controls that hold up

X, Z and ZZ reports, closeouts, holds, voids, returns and price changes — each behind granular permission rights, so the audit trail always has a name on it.

Back office at the till

Items, departments and categories, purchase orders, inter-branch transfers, physical stock takes, approved price changes and label printing — without leaving the store.

Loyalty, SMS & people

Points and tiers at the till, SMS receipts and promotions, plus staff time-clock and attendance that flow straight to payroll.

Proven where it hurts

A decade on the counter

Point of sale is unforgiving — a slow till at 6 p.m. costs real money and real tempers. VortexPOS has earned its keep in high-volume Kenyan retail: multi-lane supermarkets, chain stores, franchises. It speaks the hardware's language and the taxman's.

  • Full hardware ecosystem — barcode scanners, scales, pole displays, cash drawers and receipt printers via OPOS standards.
  • Multi-till, multi-branch — central till configuration, store licensing and price control across every location.
  • Plugs into VortexERP — sales, stock and cash flow to the back office and the GL — one version of the truth.
  • Modern touch UI — a refreshed touchscreen experience for lanes, kiosks and counters.
