Gestion POS · Retail A till built for South African shops

A till that keeps selling —
through load-shedding,
offline, on hardware you own.

Scan, sell and print or WhatsApp a slip in seconds; take any payment; and know your real profit per product. And when the line drops, the till carries on taking cash on the device's own battery — every sale saved and sent up by itself the moment the internet is back.

Still selling, on cash

Cloud tills fail exactly when you need them

A dropped line shouldn't stop a sale. Gestion POS keeps taking cash while the connection is gone — on the phone, laptop or tablet you already own — then sends the day up by itself. And it gives you the records and profit visibility a growing shop needs.

Why shops choose Gestion POS

A proper till, without the proper-till price tag

Everything you need to sell, take payment, track stock and see your profit — nothing you don't.

Sells offline, syncs later

Signal gone, tower down, fibre cut. Cash sales carry on, saved on the device, and send themselves when you're back online.

Cash sales carry on when the line drops
Each sale saved on the device, then sent up
Prices frozen at the moment the line went
Timed to when you rang it up, so the day balances
Never posted twice, whatever the connection does

Know your real profit

Not just sales — actual profit, based on what your stock cost you. See it for today, this week, this month or any period.

Cost-based gross profit
Profit by product — loss-makers first
Any period + compare to last
Sales-by-day trend
Money taken by payment type

Scan, sell, slip

Scan with an ordinary plug-in scanner and the item drops into the basket with a beep. Hand over a printed slip or send it on WhatsApp — free.

Plug-in (USB) barcode scanner, beep & flash
Scan something new? Register it on the spot
Printed slip or WhatsApp — no SMS cost
VAT-ready, or switch VAT off entirely
Sell singles or whole cases
Set your slip paper size: 58mm or 80mm

Any payment, no lock-in

Use whatever card machine or QR you already have. The till just records how the customer paid.

Cash, card, SnapScan/QR & EFT
Works with any provider — no lock-in
Split a sale across payments
Put it on a tab for regulars
Cash-up counts the drawer to the cent
Offline is cash only — card & QR need the line

Stock that manages itself

See what's running low, get a ready-made shopping list, and watch how your buying prices move over time.

Know who's on the till

Each cashier gets their own 6-digit code, so every sale is tagged to who rang it up — and cash-ups balance to the cent.

The part everyone asks about

When the line goes down, here is exactly what happens

Nothing dramatic, and no lost sale. This is the part of a till that gets tested on a Saturday morning, so here it is in full — including the things that stop.

Carries on

Selling — tiles, search, scanning, basket, change
Cash payments
A confirmation on every sale: “Saved OFFLINE — it will send itself when the internet is back.”
A slip number ending in F, so you can tell afterwards which sales were rung up on a dead line
Your prices exactly as they were when the line went, so nothing is mispriced

Waits for the line

Card, SnapScan/QR and EFT — offline is cash only
Putting a sale on a tab
Refunds and returns
A printed or WhatsApp slip — write one by hand if the customer wants it
A single sale over R5 000 (your setting) — split it, or wait for the line

When it comes back

The waiting sales go up by themselves — you do not press anything
They appear in the dashboard timed to when you rang them up, not when they arrived, so the day’s takings still come out right
A sale can never be posted twice, however many times the connection drops mid-send
If anything is refused on the way in, the whole sale is kept on an Exceptions screen to re-key — never silently dropped

Three things we would rather you heard from us

The power is yours

The till keeps selling on the device’s own battery — that is what carries a shop through load-shedding, and it is what we can promise. A printer and a router need mains, so a power bank or a small UPS is the shop’s part of the deal.

The sales sit on that device until they go up

If it is lost, wiped, or the browser data cleared while sales are still waiting, those sales are gone. Do not sign out and do not close the till page until they have sent.

One device is one till

Several tills can sell at the same time while you are online. While the line is down they cannot see each other’s stock — each one keeps its own sales until the connection is back.

Do not take our word for it. There is a ten-minute drill you run once a month with the shop quiet: turn the connection off on purpose, sell three things, and watch them arrive when you turn it back on. Ask us for the drill card — a till that has never been tested offline is a promise, not a fact.

In the next release — opening and cashing up a till while offline, a ceiling on the total value waiting to send, offline cashier hand-over, camera barcode scanning, and discounts with a manager’s override. Built and tested; not on your till yet.

See your numbers

Finally know if the shop actually made money

The owner's dashboard turns a day of sales into answers: what you took, what you actually made, which product is losing you money, and how today compares to last week.

Any period, at a glance

Your till lives inside the rest of your business

One login, one bill, one product list. Add a product once and it is on the till; the staff, branches and customers behind the counter are the same ones the rest of Gestion already knows.

One thing worth being straight about: the till’s money numbers live on the POS Dashboard. Gestion does not yet post your daily takings into the accounting module for you — you or your bookkeeper still do that.
