Supermarket POS for Kenyan Supermarkets and Minimarts
Supermarket stock moves through supplier receiving, shelves and several cashier counters. Tilloza brings barcode sales, stock records, expiry tracking and branch operations together, helping your team review what is selling and what needs replenishing without maintaining separate records for every task.

Connect receiving, checkout and replenishment
- 1.
Check and receive the delivery
Record supplier purchases and the stock received. Keep product and quantity details organized so the catalogue used at checkout reflects the goods you hold.
- 2.
Sell through your cashier counters
Cashiers scan product barcodes and record sales. Apply configured promotions or discounts and use M-Pesa STK Push when the integration has been set up.
- 3.
Review the next replenishment cycle
Check low-stock alerts, product movement and expiry information. Use stocktaking to investigate differences, then plan purchases or branch transfers around the stock position.
Keep barcode checkout and product records aligned
Similar pack sizes and changing prices can create confusion at a supermarket counter. Build a clear product catalogue and maintain the prices used by cashiers. Barcode sales help staff select products without repeatedly entering descriptions.
Tilloza supports multiple users and cashiers. Discuss your intended number of counters and users when choosing a plan rather than assuming a particular checkout capacity from the word “supermarket”.
Make replenishment a stock decision
Supplier management and purchase receiving connect deliveries with stock records. Low-stock alerts help identify products to review before the next order, while sales and inventory reports show which lines are moving.
Stocktaking and adjustments let the team compare recorded quantities with a physical count. Investigate differences rather than treating a software balance as proof that every item is on the shelf.
Include expiry information in stock reviews
Tilloza supports expiry tracking, giving supermarket teams another consideration when reviewing stock. Include date-sensitive products in your regular checks and agree how expiry information will be entered during setup.
Expiry tracking supports your review process; it is not a promise that every expired item is automatically blocked or that staff no longer need to inspect stock. Confirm any specific sale-control requirement before relying on it.
Manage offers and customer records deliberately
Promotions and discounts support planned offers at checkout. Review the configured products and prices before an offer begins, and make sure staff understand how it should be applied.
Customer records and purchase history provide context for returning shoppers. Where the supermarket offers credit, customer balances can support account review without a separate informal list of amounts owed.
Coordinate supermarket branches without losing location detail
Multiple-branch support and stock transfers let you record goods moving between outlets. Review branch stock before arranging a transfer, and use branch reporting to understand differences in product movement.
M-Pesa STK Push and eTIMS integration support the payment and invoicing workflow. Select a plan with the required modules and complete integration setup before using them at your counters.
Prepare for your setup
Prepare a product catalogue, opening quantities, supplier records and the information needed for expiry tracking. List the cashier users and branches you intend to operate. Check scanner and printer compatibility. Tilloza requires internet access for selling and does not integrate with weighing scales; discuss these limits before selecting it for a fresh-produce counter.
Check plans and included featuresFrequently asked questions
Can multiple supermarket cashiers use Tilloza?
Yes. Multiple users and cashiers are supported. Confirm the current plan limits and discuss your intended checkout arrangement during setup; no particular transaction throughput is promised.
Does Tilloza support barcode scanning?
Yes. Barcode sales and scanning are supported. Share details of your scanners and receipt printers so compatibility can be checked before rollout.
Can I track products with expiry dates?
Yes. Expiry tracking is supported. Agree how dates will be captured and reviewed. Do not assume automatic expired-sale blocking or a particular stock-rotation method without confirming that workflow.
Can I run promotions and discounts?
Yes. Promotions and discounts are supported. Discuss the offers you want to run and verify the applicable pricing behavior before making them available to shoppers.
Can I move stock between supermarket branches?
Yes. Tilloza supports multiple branches and branch stock transfers. Compare the plan’s branch allowance with your outlet requirements and review stock separately for each location.
Does Tilloza support weighing scales or offline selling?
No. Weighing-scale integration and offline selling are not supported. Reliable internet access is required, and a supermarket needing connected scales should discuss that requirement before proceeding.
