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.

Start Free TrialBakara's trades, on one till
Bakara market in Mogadishu sells rice by the bag, gold, cosmetics and car parts, much of it shipped in from Dubai, China or Turkey. ArmPOS keeps that whole range in one stock count, priced in the dollars your customers carry.
-
Each payment method on its own line
A sale in Mogadishu may be settled with dollar notes, a card on the shop's own machine or a bank transfer. The cashier ticks whichever was used, and ArmPOS keeps it on the sale without ever talking to the machine. Each extra terminal or account becomes a method of its own in Settings, with a separate line in the payments report.
-
A till that runs in dollars
Your shop opens in Somali shillings, and one change in Settings moves it to US dollars. Prices, receipts and reports then all read in dollars, and nobody converts at the counter. Paid plans are billed in dollars as well, the same money your customers count out.
-
Rice, medicine and spare parts
A Bakara rice trader sells whole bags to corner shops and loose kilos to households from one count. A pharmacy books each importer's delivery in as a dated batch, so the oldest stock leaves first. A spare-parts dealer finds a filter or a brake pad by its part number, its name or a scan.
-
Hargeisa, Bosaso and Garowe
A second shop in Hargeisa, Bosaso or Garowe keeps a separate staff list and stock under the same account as Mogadishu. Cartons leave the Mogadishu store for a branch only after a manager signs off the transfer. The dashboard then sets each city's takings next to the others.

Frequently asked questions
What is the best POS system for a shop in Bakara market?
One that keeps a stall's whole range in a single stock count and prices it in dollars. ArmPOS sells gold, cosmetics, parts or rice from the same till, each with its own unit and code. It runs on the phone you already carry, and a USB scanner and an 80mm printer can be added when the queue grows.
My goods come from Dubai by container. How do I book them into stock?
Raise a purchase order when you order in Dubai, and receive it when the container is unpacked in Mogadishu. Units turn cartons into pieces, so a carton of 12 bottles adds 12 to the shelf. Each supplier's record shows what you have paid and what is still due.
A relative runs the till while I am at the warehouse. Can I limit what they see?
Yes. Your relative signs in under a separate login, and the role you give that login sets what the screen allows. A cashier can sell, park a sale and take a return without seeing purchase prices or changing what goods sell for. Closing the register at night gives the dollar amount expected in the drawer.
Can a spare-parts shop find a part by its number?
Yes. Give each part its code and barcode, and the cashier finds it by number, by name or by scan. Print barcode labels for parts that arrive unmarked, and record the rack where each one sits. Low stock alerts list the filters and pads to reorder before a mechanic asks for them.
Can customers in Mogadishu order from my shop online?
Yes. Open the web shop that comes with ArmPOS, arrange your goods into collections and put your own banners on top. Every online order is filled from the same shelves as the counter. A buyer in Hodan pays by card or in cash to the driver. An item sold online leaves the shelf count at once, so two buyers are never promised the last one.
A customer brings back a laptop. Can I check that my shop sold it?
Yes. Record each serial or IMEI number when the goods arrive from your supplier, and again when you sell them. The unit's history then shows where it came from, the day it left and who bought it. Accept the return and it goes back into stock.
My product list is already in Excel. Do I have to type it again?
No. Your Excel list of products comes in as it is, and so do your customers and suppliers. A CSV file brings in last year's sales and purchases behind them. Check the imported counts against the shelves once, and from then on each sale and delivery keeps them right.
How do I pay for ArmPOS from Somalia?
With a card, billed in US dollars, the currency most Somali shops already price in. A single stall can begin on Starter, the free plan, which never asks for a card. The pricing section shows what each plan costs, and your card is charged that plan's price in dollars.
