More Control Over Every Sale and Every Bottle.

Scan bottles and cans quickly at a busy counter, sell singles, six-packs and cases at their own prices, count the store room without guessing, and close every till with a cash-up that shows short or over the same night.

Features

Built around how your counter works.

Scan fast, even when it is busy

A USB or Bluetooth scanner reads straight into the till. A barcode it does not know can be linked to a product on the spot.

Single, six-pack and case

Each pack size has its own price and barcode, and stock is counted in units.

More than one till

Open a second till for the Friday rush; each has its own float and cash-up.

Blind cash-ups

The cashier counts the drawer without seeing what it should hold. Short and over show the same night, with a name.

Drops to the safe

Record cash taken out of the drawer during the day, so the cash-up still balances.

Blind stock counts

Count the shop floor and the store room separately, without the expected figure. Large differences are flagged.

Deliveries that add up

A delivery’s lines must match the supplier’s slip total before the stock goes in.

Who did what

Every sale, refund, discount and drawer opening is linked to a staff code, in a tamper-evident audit trail.

See where the money and the stock went

Bottle stores lose margin in small amounts: a case short on a delivery, a till short at close, a bottle that never made it to the shelf. Gestion POS puts those in one place.

  • Till differences over a threshold you set
  • Large differences on a stock count
  • Offline sales that could not be accepted when the connection came back
  • Each one resolved with a note, so you know it was dealt with

How it works in practice

A Friday-evening sale

  1. Step 1: Scan the case

    The case of lager scans at its case price.

  2. Step 2: Add the rest

    Two bottles of white wine and two bags of ice.

  3. Step 3: Take cash

    The customer hands over R700 and the change, R50.05, shows straight away.

  4. Step 4: Next customer

    Print the slip or skip it, and the till is ready for the next person.

  5. Step 5: Close the till

    At close, count the drawer blind. Expected, counted and short or over are recorded.

Questions

What people in your trade ask.

Good to know before you buy

Gestion POS does not do these today. If one matters to your shop, say so when you book a demo.

  • Age verification. Age checks stay with your staff.
  • Liquor-licence compliance features
  • Promotions, specials or loyalty points
  • Bottle-deposit tracking
Can I sell by the single and by the case?

Yes. Each pack size has its own price and barcode, and stock is counted in units, so a case sale takes the right number off.

Can I run more than one till on a busy night?

Yes. You can run several tills in your shop, each with its own float, sessions and cash-up.

Does Gestion POS verify a customer’s age?

No. Age checks remain the responsibility of your staff and your shop.

What if the internet goes down in the middle of trading?

Cash sales can carry on. Each one is saved on the till with its own slip number and sent when the connection is back, within limits you set. Card, QR and EFT payments, returns and slip printing need the connection.

Can staff give discounts?

Only if you switch discounts on and give them permission. Above a limit you set, a supervisor approves with their own code, and every discount is recorded.
