What problems does a wholesale POS solve?
A POS like EliteTeQ stops the money a wholesale business loses to untracked stock, slow or wrong bills, unapproved staff changes and guesswork, because every sale, purchase and change is recorded in one system.
See How EliteTeQ Solves This →- Cartons, dozens and pieces in one stock?
- Set the units each product sells in, each with its own price. A carton broken into pieces converts automatically, so the count stays right however it sells.
- Different prices for different buyers?
- Give each customer a price level, such as retailer, stockist or walk-in, and the right price applies at checkout. Only roles you choose can override it, and every change is logged.
- Credit customers tracked on paper?
- Each credit customer has an account with a limit. Purchases build a running balance with due dates, and statements can go out on WhatsApp.
- Deliveries that do not match the order?
- Raise purchase orders, then receive each delivery against the order. Short or substituted items are recorded before stock goes up.
- Several warehouses, no single view?
- Every warehouse and branch is its own location, and transfers between them are recorded and confirmed on arrival.
- Returns that never reach the books?
- Goods a retailer sends back and goods you return to a supplier are recorded against the invoice, so stock and balances stay true. Payments by telebirr, bank transfer, card or cash sit against the same invoice.
What can a wholesaler see on EliteTeQ each day?
On EliteTeQ, a wholesaler can check today's sales, see stock by location, check what a customer owes and see overdue accounts, live on one screen and from any phone.

What does EliteTeQ do for your warehouse, staff and books?
EliteTeQ keeps the stock, purchases, staff and books of a wholesale business 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 wholesale business.
Pay suppliers for what arrived
Deliveries are received against the purchase order, short items are recorded, and damaged cartons go back and off the supplier’s balance.
Reordering without overstocking →The agreed price on every invoice
Each customer’s price level applies at checkout, and goods a retailer sends back come off their balance properly.
The sales reports worth running →See what the warehouse loses
Crushed cartons, leaks and damaged stock are written off with a reason, so losses show up today, not at stock-take.
Where lost stock really goes →Stock where the buyers are
Move cartons from the warehouse to a branch, confirmed on arrival, so both counts stay right.
Running several branches and stores →Staff invoice, you set prices and credit
Only the roles you choose can override a price level, raise a credit limit or void an invoice.
Fair rules that stop till fraud →Every override has a name
Each person has a login, so a price override, a void or a gap in the drawer is traced to the person and the time.
Catching shrinkage early →Balances collected without phone calls
Send statements to retailers and stockists, and confirm orders with suppliers, on WhatsApp.
Follow every carton
Ordered, received, transferred, sold, returned or written off: the full history of every product.
Reading stock turnover →Books that keep up with the warehouse
Invoices, purchases, customer and supplier balances post to your accounts as they happen, with profit by branch.
Accounting and ERP in one system →Your team in the same system
Staff records, roles and sales by person sit next to your stock and sales, not in a separate notebook.
Staff, payroll and branches →Your business in your pocket, online or off
Check every branch from your phone, and keep invoicing when the network drops. Everything syncs when it returns.
Cloud vs traditional POS →Wholesale POS vs books and phone calls: what changes?
Moving from books and phone calls to EliteTeQ means: carton, dozen and piece from one stock; price levels applied at checkout; credit accounts with limits.
| The notebook & spreadsheet way | The EliteTeQ way |
|---|---|
| One unit on the till, cartons in reality | Carton, dozen and piece from one stock |
| Prices remembered, or guessed | Price levels applied at checkout |
| Credit limits in your head | Credit accounts with limits |
| Deliveries paid on trust | Received against the purchase order |
| Transfers agreed by phone | Transfers recorded and confirmed |
| Returns that never reach the books | Returns recorded against the invoice |
| Profit is a guess | Margin by product and customer |
Stop guessing. Start knowing.
Does EliteTeQ work for wholesalers and distributors 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 wholesaler on EliteTeQ look like?
On EliteTeQ, a wholesale business runs from 06:30 to 18:00 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.
A supplier delivery arrives. It is received against the purchase order, and a short carton count is recorded before stock goes up.
Retailers start buying. Each invoice applies their price level and checks their credit limit.
Branch 2 is low on cooking oil. A transfer from the warehouse is sent and confirmed on arrival.
A retailer sends back damaged cartons. The return comes off their balance and the cartons are written off.
Statements go out on WhatsApp to the accounts with balances due this week.
The next purchase orders are raised from what is running low across every location.
Closing. Cash, telebirr, bank transfer and card reconcile against the day's invoices, and you see balances and stock from home.

Questions owners ask us
Not answered here? A real person replies on WhatsApp.
Is a wholesale POS the same as a card machine?
No. A card machine only takes card payments. A wholesale POS like EliteTeQ sells by the carton, dozen or piece from one stock, applies each buyer’s price level, keeps credit accounts with limits and receives deliveries against the order. You can keep your card machine and record its payments against each sale.
Can I sell the same product by carton and by piece?
Yes. Set the units each product sells in, each with its own price, and sell any of them from one stock record. Broken cartons convert automatically.
Can different customers get different prices?
Yes. Give each customer a price level, such as retailer, stockist or walk-in, and the right price applies at checkout. Overrides are limited to the roles you choose and logged.
Can customers buy on credit?
Yes. Each credit customer gets an account with a limit, purchases build a balance with due dates, and statements can be sent on WhatsApp.
Can I check supplier deliveries against the order?
Yes. Raise a purchase order, receive the delivery against it, and record short or substituted items before stock goes up.
Can I record returns from customers and to suppliers?
Yes. Sales returns come off the customer’s balance and back into stock, and purchase returns come off the supplier’s balance.
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 more than one warehouse?
Yes. Each warehouse and branch keeps its own stock, and transfers between them are recorded and confirmed.
Does it work offline?
Yes. You keep invoicing and printing receipts when the internet or power drops, and everything syncs when the connection returns.
Can I see my margin by product and customer?
Yes. Margin by product, customer and price level shows which lines and which buyers pay, in every branch.
Is there support for wholesalers and distributors in Ethiopia?
Yes. Setup, product import, staff training and day-to-day support for businesses in Ethiopia 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 Ethiopia.
