A POS like EliteTeQ stops the money a gas outlet loses to untracked stock, slow or wrong bills, unapproved staff changes and guesswork, because every sale, purchase and change is recorded in one system.

What does EliteTeQ do for your cylinders, staff and books?
EliteTeQ keeps the stock, purchases, staff and books of a gas outlet in one system: live stock in every branch, purchases and returns by supplier, damages on record, an audit log for every void and discount, and accounts that update with every sale.
Every part of EliteTeQ, described by what it does for a gas outlet.
Every full cylinder received is counted
Refilled stock from your supplier is recorded as it arrives, and anything wrong goes back and off their bill.
Reordering without overstocking →Deposits refunded without a dispute
When a customer returns a cylinder, the return is recorded against their deposit, so the refund is clear.
The sales reports worth running →Faulty stock written off, not hidden
A faulty regulator or damaged accessory is written off with a reason, so stock and profit stay true.
Where lost stock really goes →Full cylinders where customers buy
Move fulls to a busy outlet and empties back, with both counts right and every move on record.
Running several branches and stores →Staff sell, you set the prices
Only the people you choose can change refill prices, sell on account or refund a deposit.
Fair rules that stop till fraud →Every refill and deposit has a name
Every sale, deposit, refund and price change is tied to a login and a time.
Catching shrinkage early →Statements where customers read them
Send business customers their account statement on WhatsApp instead of calling round.
Know where every cylinder went
Received, transferred, refilled, exchanged, sold new or returned: the full history of every size and brand.
Reading stock turnover →Books that keep up with the outlets
Sales, deposits, purchases and expenses post to your accounts as they happen, with profit by outlet.
Accounting and ERP in one system →Your team in the same system
Staff records and roles for every outlet sit next to your stock and sales.
Staff, payroll and branches →Your business in your pocket, online or off
Check every branch from your phone, and keep every outlet selling when the network drops. Everything syncs when it returns.
Cloud vs traditional POS →Gas dealer POS vs a notebook: what changes?
Moving from a notebook to EliteTeQ means: counts that update with every sale; every sale recorded by kind; deposits saved on the customer.
| The notebook & spreadsheet way | The EliteTeQ way |
|---|---|
| Fulls and empties counted by hand | Counts that update with every sale |
| Refill or new cylinder? Nobody wrote it | Every sale recorded by kind |
| Deposits remembered, or not | Deposits saved on the customer |
| Wrong price for the size or brand | Own price for every size and brand |
| Accessories sold off the books | On the same bill as the gas |
| Calling each outlet at night | Every outlet on your phone |
| Profit is a guess | Margin by size and outlet |
Stop guessing. Start knowing.
Does EliteTeQ work for gas (LPG) dealers in Ethiopia?
Yes. EliteTeQ works in Ethiopia with ETB pricing, telebirr, card and cash recorded on every sale, records ready for MOR and full offline mode.
Built for Ethiopian businesses with VAT records for the Ministry of Revenues (MOR), Birr (ETB) pricing, each telebirr, card or bank-transfer payment recorded against its sale, and full offline mode for areas with power and network cuts.
Addis Ababa holds most formal trade, with regional cities supplying wide catchments over long routes. Two things shape every system here: Amharic script and the Ethiopian calendar, which sets the local reporting periods.
What does a day at a gas outlet on EliteTeQ look like?
On EliteTeQ, a gas outlet runs from 07:00 to 19:00 in one system: sales, stock, staff and the close, with every figure live on the owner's phone.
An illustrative day, not a customer story.
Before opening, you check full and empty cylinders by size and brand at each outlet.
Refilled cylinders arrive from the supplier and are recorded as full stock at the main outlet.
A regular brings an empty 6 kg and takes a full one. The exchange is recorded, and the counts update.
A new customer buys a 13 kg cylinder with a regulator and hose. The deposit is saved on their name.
A restaurant takes three refills on account, within their limit.
Branch 2 is low on full 13 kg cylinders. A transfer is sent and confirmed on arrival.
Closing. Cash, telebirr, card and account sales reconcile, and fulls and empties match the day's sales.

Questions owners ask us
Not answered here? A real person replies on WhatsApp.
Is a gas (LPG) dealer POS the same as a card machine?
No. A card machine only takes card payments. A gas (LPG) dealer POS like EliteTeQ sells refills, exchanges and new cylinders by size, keeps full and empty cylinder counts, records cylinder deposits and keeps business accounts. You can keep your card machine and record its payments against each sale.
Can I track full and empty cylinders?
Yes. Each sale records whether it was a refill, an exchange or a new cylinder, so full and empty stock updates on its own.
Can I record cylinder deposits?
Yes. Deposits are recorded on the sale and the customer, so returns and refunds are clear.
Can I set different prices for each size and brand?
Yes. Each size and brand has its own refill and new-cylinder price, chosen in one tap at the counter.
Can I sell regulators and burners with the gas?
Yes. Burners, regulators and hoses go on the same bill as the gas, and come off stock as they sell.
Can businesses buy gas on account?
Yes. Regulars and business customers can have accounts with limits, with their balance kept up to date as they buy and pay.
Can customers pay with telebirr?
Yes. EliteTeQ records telebirr, card and cash against each sale, so every payment method is accounted for and reconciles at closing.
Can I manage several outlets?
Yes. Each outlet keeps its own stock and sales, cylinders move between them with a transfer on record, and you can see all of them from your phone.
Does it work offline?
Yes. The outlet keeps selling and printing receipts through power and network cuts, and everything syncs when the connection returns.
Can I see my margin on each cylinder size?
Yes. EliteTeQ records the cost of what you buy, so reports show sales, cost of goods and margin by size, brand and outlet.
