## Problems We Solve

- **The Queue Stalls Over Small, Quick Sales** — A convenience store lives on speed — a soda, a loaf, some airtime, in and out in seconds. But a slow till, prices keyed in by hand, and change counted out of a drawer turn a five-second sale into a queue, and customers in a hurry simply put it down and grab it next door instead.
- **Hundreds of Fast-Moving Lines, Always Something Out** — Bread, milk, eggs, snacks, soft drinks — the lines that bring people in are exactly the ones that run out fastest. Counting hundreds of small SKUs by hand is impossible, so bestsellers vanish from the shelf unnoticed while slow stock sits, and you lose both the quick sale and the whole trip.

## How EliteTeQ Solves It

- High-speed barcode scanning, one-tap buttons for top sellers, and instant Orange Money, card, and cash with change worked out for you keep the line moving. *Quick sales stay quick, the queue clears, and customers stop drifting next door.*
- Real-time stock deducts on every sale with low-stock alerts on your fast movers and dead-stock flags on the lines that just sit. *Bread, milk, and your other bestsellers stay on the shelf, and you stop tying up cash in stock that does not move.*

## How It Works

1. **Set Up Your Store** — Import products, configure pricing, and set up payment methods.
2. **Train Your Team** — Minimal training required. Staff can start selling immediately.
3. **Run & Optimize Daily Operations** — Use real-time insights to manage inventory, pricing, and cash flow.

## Features

- **Staff Accountability & Cash-Up** — Per-staff sales logs, manager-approved voids, and an open/close cash-up that flags variance by shift — so cross-shift leakage shows the same day.
- **Fast Barcode Checkout** — High-speed scanning, one-tap buttons for top sellers, and instant payment keep the line moving on quick, small sales so customers do not drift next door.
- **Real-Time Inventory & Low-Stock Alerts** — Stock deducts on every sale, with alerts on fast movers like bread and milk and dead-stock flags on the lines that just sit on the shelf.
- **Sell-By & Expiry Tracking** — Track expiry on perishables with alerts and suggested markdowns while stock can still sell — so milk, bread, and snacks turn into sales instead of waste.

## Running a Business in Carnot

Carnot sits in Mambéré-Kadéï Prefecture and is a town in a forestry and mining area of the west.

Carnot sits in a forestry and small-scale mining area, so local commerce is shaped by irregular, lump-sum earnings rather than by steady wages, and demand rises and falls with activity in the surrounding area. Businesses commonly extend credit between payments, making customer-account tracking the most useful feature. Roads are difficult in the rainy season and resupply is infrequent, so accurate reorder points and offline operation are essential.

Earnings arrive in irregular lumps from forestry and small-scale mining rather than as wages, so trade surges after payments and stalls between them. Roads are difficult in the rainy season. The binding constraint is customer credit across those gaps, recorded properly rather than remembered.

## From the EliteTeQ Team

**We have done the cash-up that would not balance too.** The queue that stalls over a soda and some airtime, the bread that ran out before lunch, the shift change where the cash never quite adds up. EliteTeQ was not built in a boardroom — it was built next to shopkeepers in Nairobi, where the hours are long, the trade is cash, and you cannot stand behind the counter for every shift.
