Straight Answers About 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.

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.

Partly. You can sell by the unit and by the box or case, each at its own price, put trade customers on a tab, and send them invoices and statements. Separate wholesale price lists, prices per customer, minimum order quantities and an ordering portal are not available today.

Not directly. There is no link to Xero, Sage, QuickBooks or similar today. Sales, takings, profit, cash-ups, stock and balances owed can be exported to a spreadsheet for your accountant.

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.

Yes. Book in each delivery with quantities and costs, or load it from the supplier’s spreadsheet. Each delivery is numbered, keeps the supplier’s name, and must add up to the slip total before the stock loads. There is no supplier directory or purchase-order system today.

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.

You take card and QR payments on your own card machine or QR code, and the till records how each sale was paid: cash, card, SnapScan / QR or Instant EFT. Gestion POS is not linked to a card machine or payment provider.

Yes, as customer tabs, which you switch on in Settings. Sales go on a tab, payments come off it in part or in full, and statements and invoices go out by email or WhatsApp. A view of every balance owed, by age, shows who to follow up.

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.

A till opens with a float. At close the cashier counts the drawer without seeing what it should hold, and the system shows expected, counted, and short or over. Cash taken out during the day, such as a drop to the safe, is recorded with a reason so it is not counted as a shortage.

Each Gestion POS system runs one shop, and that shop can have several tills. Running several branches from one system is not available today. If you have more than one shop, tell us when you book a demo.

Yes. It runs in the browser on a counter computer, a tablet or a phone. On a phone the basket folds into a drawer at the bottom of the screen, and the till can be installed like an app.

Cash sales can carry on. Each one is saved on the till with its own slip number and sent when the connection returns. By default an offline sale can be up to R5,000, with up to R20,000 waiting to send; you can change these limits. Card, QR and EFT payments, tabs, returns and slip printing need the connection.

Each shop has its own system and its own database, used for that shop alone. It makes an automatic backup every hour, and older backups are kept on a thinning schedule. Staff sign in with their own accounts and till codes, each role sees only what it needs, and an audit trail records who did what. Where your system is hosted, and how off-site copies are handled, is agreed with you when it is set up.

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.
