POS and inventory software for Ugandan shops
Point of Sale & Inventory Management Software in Uganda

ArmPOS runs in the browser on Android phones, iPhones, tablets and computers, and installs like an app. Scan barcodes with the camera, take payments and check stock from the shop floor, with no special hardware to buy.

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
24 languages, Swahili, Hausa, Yoruba and Arabic among them, for you and your team.
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.
Scan the barcode or search the item by name, take MTN MoMo, Airtel Money or cash, leave what a regular customer still owes on their account, and print the receipt on a small 58mm printer.
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 TrialA point of sale for the way Uganda trades
Business in Uganda moves in cartons and pieces, on mobile money, and on credit to customers you know by name. ArmPOS keeps all of it in one inventory management system, whether you run a wholesale shop in Kikuubo, a drug shop in Mbarara or a boutique in a Kampala mall.
-
MTN MoMo and Airtel Money at the counter
A customer standing at your counter can pay with MTN Mobile Money or Airtel Money, and so can a buyer ordering from your online shop. Each payment is filed against the sale it settled, beside the cash taken that day.
-
Uganda shillings, all the zeros
A busy day's takings run into millions of shillings, so receipts, reports and the dashboard show every amount in full UGX. The ArmPOS subscription is quoted in UGX at the day's rate too, and you pay it from MTN or Airtel to the exact shilling.
-
Supermarkets, phone shops and stationers
A supermarket in Jinja scans barcodes at a busy till, a phone shop on Kampala Road records the IMEI of every handset it sells, and a stationery shop near a school sells exercise books by the dozen or one at a time.
-
Branches beyond Kampala
Many Ugandan traders keep the main store in Kampala and open the next shop nearer their customers in Mbale, Gulu or Arua. ArmPOS keeps each shop's stock apart on one account, sends goods out of the Kampala store on a transfer someone must approve, and shows which branch sold more before the next lorry is loaded.

Frequently asked questions
Which point of sale software works best for a Kikuubo wholesale shop?
ArmPOS is made for a counter that buys by the carton and sells by the piece. You receive twenty cartons of soap, sell single bars, and the stock stays right in both units. It runs in the browser on a phone, tablet or computer, so a shop in Kikuubo can start on the phone it already has.
Can my customers pay with MTN MoMo or Airtel Money?
Yes, on a paid plan, at the counter and in your online shop. The money comes through your shop's own MarzPay account and the sale is marked with how it was paid, so nobody has to match mobile money messages on a phone against sales in a notebook at the end of the day.
I give regular customers goods on credit. Can ArmPOS keep track of who owes what?
Yes. Each customer has a running balance that rises when they take goods on credit and falls as they pay you back, and you can set a credit limit for each one. Their record lists every sale and payment, so a question about last month's account is answered from the screen, not from memory.
Does ArmPOS suit a drug shop or pharmacy in Uganda?
Yes. Receive each delivery with its batch number and expiry date, and when you sell, the batch closest to its date goes out first. Medicines running low show in the notification bell and on the Product Quantity Alerts report, so you reorder from your supplier before a customer is turned away.
What does ArmPOS cost, and can I pay for it in shillings?
A wholesale shop in Kikuubo or a drug shop in Masaka can skip the card form and sell on Starter, the free plan. When the shop needs more, the paid plans are listed in UGX at the day's rate, and you pay the exact amount from MTN Mobile Money or Airtel Money.
I run a boutique in a Kampala mall. Can ArmPOS handle sizes and colours?
Yes. Create one product with a variant for each size and colour, give every variant its own barcode, and see the stock of each one in every branch. Sales are recorded by variant, so you know whether the medium blue shirt sold or sat on the rail before you order again.
Can I take orders online and deliver around Kampala with payment on arrival?
Yes. Your online shop sells from the same stock as the counter, so one count covers both. A customer can pay ahead with MTN Mobile Money or Airtel Money or choose cash on delivery, and the boda boda rider collects the money at the door.
Can a hardware shop give a contractor a quotation and bill it later?
Yes. Price the iron sheets, cement and timber the contractor asked for in a quotation, email it from ArmPOS, and convert it into a sale on the day the site sends for the goods, without entering a single item twice. Whatever the contractor has not paid yet stays on their account until the last instalment comes in.
