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.

Every branch, one view

See stock in every shop and warehouse from one account, down to the rack. Move items between branches with approved transfers, and every movement is recorded.

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.

Ring up a carton of sugar by barcode or name, take notes, a card or a transfer, and print the slip on 58mm paper.

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.

Between Douala, Kousséri and the Grand marché

N'Djamena shops restock from the port of Douala, five to fifteen days away by road, or from Kousséri across the Chari. ArmPOS keeps each of those suppliers' orders, deliveries and the balance you owe them.

  • Cash first, every method kept apart

    Most customers in Chad pay in cash, and ArmPOS logs every amount taken against its sale, right up to the evening total. Card payments on the bank's machine and transfers are recorded too: the cashier selects them by name, and no machine is wired to ArmPOS.

  • CFA francs from receipt to plan

    At Dembé market or in Moundou, every price tag, receipt and margin comes out in CFA francs (XAF). For ArmPOS plans, the pricing section converts the dollar price into CFA francs with that day's rate.

  • Dembé, the Grand marché and the marché à mil

    A Dembé market shop keeps sugar and cooking oil in cartons and sells them carton by carton or one at a time. Near the Grand marché, an appliance dealer tracks every fridge and television by its serial number. Around the marché à mil, a wholesaler takes in full trucks and supplies the neighbourhood shops.

  • Moundou, Sarh and other towns

    The day a shop opens in Moundou or Sarh, its sales join the dashboard you check in N'Djamena. Cartons travel there from the capital on a stock transfer that the manager accepts before any count changes.

Point of sale features

Everything you need at the counter: a fast POS screen on any device, flexible payments, and receipts your customers can keep.

  • Fast checkout

    Search or scan products, apply discounts and promo codes, and complete a sale in seconds on a computer, tablet or phone.

  • Barcode scanning

    Scan with a USB scanner, a phone or tablet camera, or weighing-scale labels that carry the weight in the barcode.

  • Split payments

    Take cash, card and other methods in one sale, and record exactly how each customer paid.

  • Receipts and invoices

    Print receipts on 58mm or 80mm thermal paper or A4, or send them by email or SMS. Turn quotations into sales and PDF invoices.

  • Held sales and returns

    Park a sale and finish it later, and take returns at the till that put items straight back into stock.

  • Cash register

    Open and close the register, record cash in and out, and see what the drawer should hold at the end of each shift.

  • Customers and loyalty

    Keep customer records and balances, and reward repeat buyers with loyalty points they spend at the till.

  • Keeps selling offline

    If the internet drops while you sell, ArmPOS keeps recording sales on the device and syncs them when you're back online.

Inventory management features

Know what you have, where it is and what it's worth, in every shop and warehouse. Your stock updates itself as you sell, buy, return and transfer.

  • Multi-branch inventory

    Track stock in every shop and warehouse, down to the rack, from one account.

  • Stock transfers

    Move stock between branches with transfers that need approval, so every item is accounted for.

  • Low stock alerts

    Set an alert quantity per product, and the bell, the dashboard and the quantity alerts report show what to reorder in each branch.

  • Purchases and suppliers

    Raise purchase orders, receive stock into the right warehouse and track what you owe each supplier.

  • Batches and expiry dates

    Track batches with expiry dates and sell the earliest-expiring stock first, for pharmacies and food businesses.

  • Serial and IMEI numbers

    Record serial or IMEI numbers for phones and electronics, and trace every unit from purchase to sale.

  • Variants and units

    Sell in sizes and colours, by the pack or by the piece, with unit conversions handled for you.

  • Counts and adjustments

    Download a count sheet by warehouse and category, then record adjustments and damages so your records match the shelf.

Run the whole business

Beyond the till: your online shop, your accounts, your team and the tools you already use, in the same system as your sales and stock.

  • Your online shop

    Your own web shop with collections and banners. Customers pay by card or cash on delivery, and orders come from the same stock.

  • Accounting and profit

    Expenses, cash and bank accounts, profit and loss, and a full accounting module with journals, a trial balance and a balance sheet.

  • About 60 reports

    Sales, payments, tax, customers, suppliers, staff and inventory reports, including stock value, ageing and expiry, to print or export.

  • Staff and permissions

    Give each person their own login and decide what they can see and do. Keep shifts, leave and attendance records too.

  • Integrations

    Sync products, stock and orders with WooCommerce and Shopify, and send your sales to QuickBooks as invoices.

  • Messages and campaigns

    Send invoices and marketing campaigns by email, SMS and WhatsApp to bring customers back.

  • Hardware that fits

    Works with USB barcode scanners, 58mm and 80mm receipt printers, label printers, a customer display and cash drawers through QZ Tray, or simply the phone you already have.

  • Kitchen display

    Send orders from the till straight to a kitchen screen, so cafés and takeaways prepare them in order without paper tickets.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best POS system for a shop in N'Djamena?
Look for one your sellers can read in Arabic while your manager works in French. ArmPOS sets the language on each device, so the counter tablet runs in Arabic from right to left while the office laptop stays in French. Behind both screens the stock, purchases and margins are the same figures, in CFA francs.
I buy by the container in Douala and in small lots in Kousséri. How do I follow both?
Give each supplier a record of its own, the Douala importer and the Kousséri wholesaler alike. Every purchase lands on its supplier's record, and ArmPOS keeps what you owe each one up to date, even when you pay in instalments. For Douala the purchase order waits for the truck, while a Kousséri purchase is entered the same day.
I sell fridges and televisions near the Grand marché. Can I trace each one?
Yes, by its serial number. Enter the number when the appliance arrives, and the sale ties it to the customer who carries it home. If a buyer comes back with a faulty set, its history shows the sale date and the supplier it came from.
How do I know each evening whether the drawer is right?
Start the day with the float in the drawer, and record each amount you take out to pay a porter or a delivery. At closing, ArmPOS shows what the drawer should hold, so any gap is clear before the seller goes home.
My customers mostly pay cash. What other methods can I record?
Besides cash, the cashier can choose card, bank transfer, or a method you create in Settings, such as one per bank account. When a customer starts paying by transfer and finishes in notes, both amounts stay on a single sale. The payments report then keeps each method apart, day by day.
Can I sell to customers in Moundou without a shop there?
Yes, through the ArmPOS online shop, which draws on the same stock as your N'Djamena counter. Customers choose their items online, and each order reaches ArmPOS as a sale ready to pack.
How do I pay for ArmPOS from Chad?
The pricing section shows every plan in CFA francs at the day's rate, but the payment itself goes on a bank card in US dollars. Starter is free and needs no card, so begin there, then read on the plan cards on this page what each paid plan adds.
The network drops at Dembé market. Does selling stop?
No. If the network falls at midday, the phone keeps selling, provided the POS was open before the cut and the phone stays on. Each sale made during the cut waits on the phone and goes to your account when the network returns. The one exception is a phone that has never run ArmPOS: its first opening of the POS needs the internet.
