Why ArmPOS
One system for sales, inventory and every branch
Most small businesses juggle a till, a stock book and a spreadsheet. ArmPOS brings your point of sale, inventory management, purchasing and accounting into one system, so every sale updates your stock and your numbers at once.
Know before you run out
Set an alert quantity for each product. When stock falls to it, ArmPOS flags it in the notification bell and on the dashboard, branch by branch, so you reorder before a customer leaves empty-handed.
Speaks your team's language
Use ArmPOS in 24 languages, including English, Spanish, French, Arabic, Hindi and Chinese, with right-to-left screens for Arabic.
Profit you can see
Sales, profit and stock value update with every sale. Open the dashboard on any device and know how today is going, branch by branch.
Sell online too
Open your own online shop with the same products and stock. Online orders become sales in ArmPOS, so you never sell what you no longer have.
How ArmPOS works
From sign-up to daily profit
Create your free account and set up your shop in minutes. Import products, customers and suppliers from Excel, and give each person on your team their own login.
Tap the pastry or scan the packet, and café orders appear on the kitchen screen. Take the nakfa, give the change and print a 58mm receipt.
Every sale, purchase, return and transfer updates your inventory. See what your stock is worth and what is running low in each branch.
Sales, profit, inventory and staff reports for any branch and any dates, ready to print or export to PDF and Excel.

Start Free TrialMade for a cash counter and an unsteady line
In Asmara most sales are paid in nakfa notes, and a shop cannot count on being online all day. ArmPOS tells you what the drawer should hold and keeps each sale on the device until it can be sent.
-
Nakfa notes, counted to the last one
Open the register each morning with the float in the drawer, and record any cash taken out for supplies. At closing, ArmPOS works out how many nakfa ought to be in the drawer, and you count the notes against it. Card payments on the shop's own terminal and bank transfers go on record too. ArmPOS never connects to that terminal, and one bill can be split between methods.
-
Nakfa on the shelf, dollars on the plan
In the shop itself, nakfa is the only currency: on the label, the receipt and the profit report. Each paid plan has a dollar price, and the pricing section prints a nakfa figure beside it at the day's rate. You read the cost in the currency you earn before you pick a plan.
-
Cafés, spice stalls and workshops
On Harnet Avenue, a café puts every macchiato and cake order on a screen behind the bar the moment the till takes it. A spice seller at the central market buys berbere by the sack and sells it by the kilo. A Medeber workshop prints barcode labels for the stoves and pots it makes from scrap metal.
-
From Asmara to Keren and Massawa
Keren or Massawa can host a second counter, set up as a branch with its own stock list and cashier rota. Goods sent from the Asmara store leave one branch and arrive in the other once a manager approves the transfer. Keren's takings never blur into Asmara's.

Frequently asked questions
What is the best POS system for a café or pastry shop in Asmara?
One that gets each order to the kitchen and shows what the counter sold. A macchiato or a cake rung up at the till appears on the kitchen screen. A table's order can be held until they pay. The day's sales report then counts how many of each pastry left the counter.
Which parts of ArmPOS need the internet, and which do not?
Signing up, opening the POS for the first time on a device and sending sales to your account all need a connection. Selling itself carries on without one, provided the POS was opened beforehand and the tablet or phone stays switched on. Whatever you sell while offline waits on that device, then goes up to your account a single time when the line returns.
I sell berbere and other spices by weight. Can ArmPOS handle the sack and the kilo?
Yes. Tell ArmPOS that berbere comes in by the sack and goes out by the kilo, and it does the conversion. A delivery of ten sacks goes in once, and each kilo sold comes off that same count. If your scale prints barcodes that carry the weight, each bag of spice it labels scans straight into the sale.
At month end my accountant wants the figures on paper. Can ArmPOS print them?
Yes. Around 60 reports cover sales, expenses and stock value, and each one prints or saves as a PDF or Excel file. The accounting side keeps your cash and bank accounts, a profit and loss statement and a balance sheet. Print them while you are online, and the paper copy goes wherever your accountant works.
How do I know when a shelf is about to run empty?
Give each product a reorder point, such as 5 kilos of berbere or 2 trays of biscuits. Once the berbere drops below that mark, the bell at the top of the screen lists it, and so does the dashboard. The Product Quantity Alerts report gathers every such item into one reorder list. Those alerts stay inside the app, so glance at the bell each time you open the till.
Two of us share the counter in shifts. Can I see who sold what?
Yes. Each person signs in with a login of their own, so every sale carries the name of whoever made it. The shift and attendance records tell you who stood at the counter on which day. The staff report compares their totals at the end of the week.
Is there an app to download for my phone?
No app store is involved. Type the ArmPOS address into the browser of any Android phone, iPhone, tablet or computer, then pin it to the home screen. From there it opens like any app. Its camera reads barcodes, so the phone is the scanner as well.
How do I pay for ArmPOS from Eritrea?
Paid plans are charged to a card in US dollars, which not every shop in Asmara holds. Without one, start on the free Starter plan, which needs no card and suits a café or market stall while it fits. Read the plan cards on this page for what a paid level adds once Starter feels tight.
