One connected system

The till, the stock room and the books, talking to each other.

Every sale updates your stock and your takings as it happens, so the numbers you look at at night are the numbers your shop actually made.

Sell quickly

Tap, type or scan. Change on screen, returns by slip number, slips printed or sent by WhatsApp.

Know your stock

Stock on hand, blind counts, deliveries matched to the slip, and a buy list from real sales.

See the money

Takings by cashier and payment method, blind cash-ups, profit per product and VAT on sales.

Stay in control

Staff till codes, roles that limit who can change prices, and an audit trail of who did what.

How it works

From set-up to your first cash-up.

How it works
  1. Step 1: Set up your shop

    Your shop name, VAT details, slip size and the payment methods you accept.

  2. Step 2: Add products and staff

    Products with prices and barcodes, and a till code for each person.

  3. Step 3: Sell

    Open the till with a float and ring up sales by tap, search or scan.

  4. Step 4: Count, cash up, review

    Blind counts and cash-ups, then takings, profit and VAT on sales.

For everyone behind the counter

Better for the owner. Easier for the cashier.

The owner

  • Today’s takings, by cashier and by payment method
  • A buy list that shows what to reorder, and how much
  • Cash shortages and stock differences found the same day
  • Profit per product, and a list of anything priced at or below cost
  • The VAT on your sales for any period
  • You decide who can discount, refund or change prices

The cashier

  • Find any product by tapping, typing or scanning
  • The change is worked out on screen
  • Returns found by slip number or the QR code on the slip
  • Their own till code, so their sales are theirs alone
  • Cash sales carry on if the internet drops
  • Discounts above the limit go to a supervisor’s code, not an argument

Why shop owners can trust the numbers

Built to be honest about money and stock.

Most losses in a shop are small and quiet. Gestion POS is designed to make them visible.

Blind cash-ups

The cashier counts the drawer before seeing what it should hold.

A tamper-evident record

The audit trail is sealed in a chain and checked every day.

No negative stock

The till will not sell what the system says you do not have.

Roles that mean something

Cashiers sell; they cannot change prices, stock or settings.

Hourly backups

Every Gestion POS system backs itself up automatically, every hour.

One shop, one system

Your shop runs on its own system and database, apart from every other shop.

Made in South Africa, for South African shops: prices in rand, VAT at 15%, and SnapScan and Instant EFT alongside cash and card. Gestion POS is part of Gestion, from Afrigenius.

Questions

Straight answers.

What Gestion POS does, and what it does not do yet.

All questions
What is Gestion POS?

Gestion POS is a point-of-sale and stock system for independent shops. It runs the till, keeps your stock figures, records deliveries, handles customer tabs, and gives you takings, cash-ups, VAT on sales and profit reports. It is part of Gestion, a South African business platform from Afrigenius.

Which businesses can use it?

Shops that sell from stock over a counter. It is set up today for vape shops and wholesalers, tyre shops and automotive retail and liquor stores, and it suits most other independent retailers too. Each Gestion POS system runs one shop.

Can I manage products and stock?

Yes. Add products with their price, cost, barcode, VAT treatment and photo; see stock on hand and its value; run blind stock counts; correct and move stock with a reason; and use a buy list with suggested order quantities based on recent sales.

Can I use barcode scanners?

Yes. Any USB or Bluetooth scanner that types like a keyboard works at the till. A phone can also be paired with the till as a camera scanner; that works in Chrome on Android. Barcode label printing is not part of the product.

Can I view sales and VAT reports?

Yes. Takings by day, week, month or any dates, by payment method and by cashier; profit and margin per product; cash-ups; and the VAT charged on your sales for any period. The VAT report covers sales only: it does not include VAT you paid suppliers, so it is not a full VAT return.

How is pricing determined?

By the number of tills, per month, excluding VAT: Spaza (1 till) R150, 2 to 5 tills R700, 6 to 10 tills R1,000, and more than 10 tills on request. See the pricing page for what each plan includes.
