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.

Much of what a Lesotho shop sells comes from South Africa, often fetched by the owner from Ficksburg, Ladybrand or Bloemfontein. ArmPOS keeps the whole loop in one record: what you bought there, what sold here and what is still on the shelf.
-
Rand, maloti and card, each on record
A rand is worth a loti, so a customer can hand over either and the total stays the same. The cashier marks each sale as cash, card on your bank's machine or transfer, and ArmPOS keeps the record without connecting to the machine. Add a method for rand notes, and the payments report shows how many rand came in.
-
Priced in maloti, bought in rand
Shelf prices, receipts and the profit report all read in maloti. Because the loti is pegged one to one with the rand, the cost on a Ficksburg invoice goes into the purchase at the same figure. On the pricing section, every paid plan carries a maloti figure worked out from its dollar price that day.
-
Cafés, butcheries and general dealers
A café in Mafeteng sells bread, cold drinks and candles one at a time. A general dealer in Maputsoe keeps maize meal, paraffin and Basotho blankets in a back room. A butchery in Hlotse labels each cut on its scale, and the till reads the weight from that barcode.
-
From Maseru up to the mountain districts
A branch in Mokhotlong or Qacha's Nek joins the same account and keeps a count of its own. Goods leave the Maseru store on a transfer that waits for your approval. A load sent up the long road then arrives in the books exactly as it left.

Frequently asked questions
What is the best POS system for a café or general dealer in Lesotho?
ArmPOS suits a café or general dealer: the till and the stock count agree, prices stay in maloti and the only hardware is a phone. Its free Starter plan covers 1 branch, 2 users and up to 50 products, which is room for a café's fast sellers while you decide.
Customers pay me in rand and in maloti. Can I see how much of each I took?
Yes. Create a payment method called rand notes beside the usual cash, and the cashier picks the right one at each sale. No conversion is involved, because both are worth the same. At closing, the payments report shows the rand on its own, which tells you what you can spend across the border on the next trip.
I restock at a wholesaler in Ficksburg. How do those goods get into ArmPOS?
Enter the trip as a purchase from that wholesaler and type the prices from the invoice as they are, since one rand equals one loti. Receive it into the shop or the back room, and the count rises by what you unloaded. Anything bought on account stays on the wholesaler's balance until you settle it.
My café sells candles by the packet and one at a time. Will the count stay right?
Yes. Give the candle two units, the packet and the single, and tell ArmPOS how many singles a packet holds. Buy by the packet and sell a single candle to a child sent from home. The next customer takes a whole packet, and the shelf count follows both.
Regulars at my shop buy on account until month end. Can I stop a balance running too high?
Yes. Give each regular a credit limit. The till refuses any sale on account that would push them past it, so the cashier never has to argue. The customers report lists who owes what, and each customer's history shows every purchase and repayment.
The signal comes and goes at my shop in the mountains. Can I keep selling?
Yes, as long as the POS was opened while the signal was there and the phone or tablet stays on. Sales made offline wait on the device and go up to your account by themselves when the network returns, with no sale counted twice. Before a new tablet goes up to the shop, open the POS on it once while it has a connection.
What does ArmPOS cost in maloti, and how is it paid?
Starter is free for as long as it is enough. A paid plan is charged to a card in US dollars. Its maloti figure on the pricing section moves as the rand moves against the dollar. A trader whose shops and stores outgrow Professional's 5 warehouses moves up to Enterprise, which has no cap.
My family helps behind the counter. Can each person have a separate login?
Yes. Everyone signs in as themselves, and their role decides what they can do. A nephew can sell and print receipts while price changes and the profit report stay with you. The staff report shows what each person sold.
