## Camera store POS software in Eldoret

Eldoret, in Uasin Gishu County: Kenya's agricultural breadbasket and athletics capital. Trade concentrates in Nairobi and along the Mombasa corridor, with county towns served by traders who restock weekly from the capital. Mobile money reaches further than banking does, so even rural shops settle by phone. Month-end and school-term dates move retail demand more than any promotion.

- **Currency:** KES
- **How customers pay:** M-Pesa (STK Push & Till/Paybill), cards, and bank transfers
- **M-Pesa:** Integrated: STK Push and Till Number
- **Tax:** KRA eTIMS invoices
- **Connectivity:** Keeps selling offline, syncs when back online

## Built for the way camera stores actually run

**Guessing whether that body and lens are in stock?** Bodies, lenses and adapters are kept by model, mount and spec with live stock, so you confirm the exact combination while the photographer is still at the counter.

**High-value gear with no tight control?** Every body and lens is tracked by serial with an audit trail from delivery to sale, so you can prove what is on the shelf.

**Rental gear out with no condition record?** Each rental is checked out against the serial with a deposit held and the condition noted, then checked again on return.

**Repairs and sensor cleans on paper tags?** Each job is a ticket on the serial, with the work, parts and status tracked until the owner collects it.

**A warranty claim and no record?** Warranty start, duration and coverage are kept against the serial, so a claim is confirmed or turned down in seconds.

**No idea which gear earns and which sits?** Takings from sales, rentals and service by item and category show what to reorder and what to retire.

## What EliteTeQ gives back to your camera store

**Know the lens is there before you promise it** (Stock · warehouses & branches) Live stock by model, mount and serial for every branch and store room, so a photographer gets a straight answer on the phone.

**Faulty gear goes back on record** (Purchases · purchase returns) Deliveries are received with their serials, and a faulty lens goes back to the supplier against its serial and off their bill.

**Returns matched to the serial you sold** (Sales · sales returns) A body coming back is checked against the sale it left on, so you only take back what you sold, and stock and cash stay right.

**A dropped lens is counted, not hidden** (Damages) Display or rental gear damaged in the shop is written off with a reason, so you know what handling costs you.

**Gear where the photographers are** (Stock transfers) Move a lens or body from a quiet branch to a busy one by serial, with both counts right.

**Staff sell and rent, you set the rules** (Roles & permissions) Counter staff check gear out and sell, while prices, deposits released and costs stay with the roles you choose.

**Every serial has a name against it** (Multi-user · audit logs) Each sale, rental, deposit and price change is tied to a login and a time, so a missing lens is traced, not guessed at.

**Renters and repair customers kept in the loop** (WhatsApp) Remind a renter when gear is due back and tell a customer their camera is ready, on WhatsApp instead of by phone.

**Every body and lens has a full history** (Product movement reports) Received, transferred, sold, rented, returned or serviced: the whole trail of each serial in one report.

**Books that keep up with sales, rentals and service** (Accounting) Sales, rental income, service work, purchases and expenses post to your accounts as they happen.

**Your counter and bench in one system** (HRM) Staff records, roles and sales by person sit next to your gear and service tickets, not in a separate notebook.

**Your business in your pocket, online or off** (Cloud · offline) Check every branch from your phone, and keep selling and checking out rentals with M-Pesa when the network drops. Everything syncs when it returns.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### What POS system is best for camera stores in Kenya?

The best fit in Kenya is POS software that runs your gear, rentals and service bench, not just payments. EliteTeQ tracks every body and lens by serial, finds gear by mount and spec, rents it out with a deposit and a condition record, keeps repairs and warranties on the serial, prices in KES and keeps working offline. It integrates M-Pesa (STK Push and Till Number) and produces KRA eTIMS invoices.

### Can the POS track camera and lens serial numbers?

Yes. Every body and lens is tracked by serial number. When it is received, sold, rented or returned, the serial is logged against that transaction, so each item has a complete history.

### Does it support camera and lens rentals?

Yes. Set time-based rental rates, hold a deposit at check-out, note the condition out and back, and release the deposit or apply it to damage. Rental stock is kept apart from sales stock, so you always know what is available to hire.

### Can I manage camera repairs and sensor cleaning?

Yes. Each repair, service or sensor clean is a ticket with the customer, the item’s serial, the work needed, parts used and status, and the bill for parts and labour comes from the ticket when the item is collected.

### Can I track warranties per item?

Yes. Warranty start, duration and coverage are recorded against each serial when it is sold, so staff confirm coverage at the counter without searching through paper.

### Can I find the right lens for a customer’s body?

Yes. Lenses, bodies and adapters are kept by model, mount and spec, so a search shows what fits and which branch has it in stock.

### Can I connect M-Pesa to my POS?

Yes. EliteTeQ integrates M-Pesa STK Push and Till Number, so an M-Pesa payment is matched to the sale it paid for, and cash, card and M-Pesa totals reconcile at closing.

### Can I run more than one camera shop?

Yes. Each branch has its own sales and rental stock. Move gear between branches by serial with a transfer, and compare branches side by side.

### Does it work offline?

Yes. The counter keeps selling, checking out rentals and logging service jobs when the internet or power drops, and everything syncs when the connection returns.

### Can I see which gear earns its place?

Yes. Reports show takings and margin from sales, rentals and service by item and category, so you see what to reorder and what is sitting idle.

### Is there support for camera stores in Eldoret?

Yes. Setup, product import, staff training and day-to-day support for businesses in Eldoret are done remotely, over WhatsApp, phone and screen-share, so you talk to a real person without waiting for a visit. Prices, payments and tax records are set up for Kenya.

### How much does camera store POS software cost in Eldoret?
