A POS system designed for auto repair shops and service centers in Gitega, helping operators manage diagnostics, labor, spare parts, and payments accurately from a single dashboard.

## Problems We Solve

- **The Quote Says One Thing, the Final Bill Another** — A customer is quoted for a repair, the job grows, extra parts go in, and the final bill is a surprise that ends in an argument on the forecourt. Without a job card that builds the estimate into the invoice as work is added, every job risks a dispute, a discount to keep the peace, or a customer who never comes back.
- **The Part Is Not on the Shelf When the Car Is on the Ramp** — A car is up on the ramp, stripped down, and the part you swore you had is gone — so the bay sits idle, the customer waits, and the next booking backs up behind it. Without real-time parts stock and reorder alerts, you over-order some lines, run dry on the ones you need, and lose a day's bay time to a missing part.

## How EliteTeQ Solves It

- Digital job cards build the estimate into the invoice as work and parts are added, so the customer sees what changed and approves it before the bill lands. *Far fewer forecourt disputes, fewer peace-keeping discounts, and customers who trust the bill.*
- Real-time parts inventory with reorder alerts shows what is in stock before the car goes up, so the bay is not stripped down waiting on a part. *Less idle bay time, fewer stalled jobs, and bookings that run to schedule.*

## How It Works

1. **Set Up Services, Labor Rates & Parts** — Configure repair services, labor pricing, and spare parts.
2. **Repair Vehicles & Bill Customers** — Create job cards, add labor and parts, and invoice customers.
3. **Analyze, Optimize & Grow** — Use reports to manage inventory and improve workshop performance.

## Features

- **Job Cards & Estimates** — Digital job cards build the estimate into the invoice as work and parts are added, so the customer approves changes before the final bill — and disputes drop away.
- **Parts Inventory & Reorder Alerts** — Track spare parts, oils, and consumables in real time with reorder alerts, so the bay is never stripped down waiting on a part that is out of stock.
- **Unified Labour + Parts Invoicing** — One invoice combines diagnostic time, labour rates, and parts at the right markup, calculated automatically — so the margin on every job is fully captured.
- **Vehicle Service History & Reminders** — Customer and vehicle profiles hold full service history and what is due, so you pick up where the last visit left off and prompt the next service.

## Running a Business in Gitega

Gitega sits in Gitega Province and is Burundi's political capital.

Gitega's commerce has grown with the transfer of government functions, giving it steadier weekday demand driven by administrative activity rather than trade logistics. Most businesses are single-outlet and owner-run, so simple stock counts, clear daily totals and offline reliability are the practical priorities.

Transferred government functions give steadier weekday demand than the lake port, with most businesses single-outlet and owner-run. The binding constraint is a dependable daily close that works through routine power interruptions.

## Frequently Asked Questions

- **What currency and payment methods does EliteTeQ POS support in Gitega?** EliteTeQ POS prices in BIF (FBu) and records Lumicash, card and cash against the same sale, so auto repair shops businesses in Gitega close the day on one set of reconciled totals instead of three.

## From the EliteTeQ Team

**We have argued a final bill on the forecourt too.** The quote that grew into a dispute, the part missing while the car sat on the ramp, the regular whose service history nobody could find. EliteTeQ was not built in a boardroom — it was built next to garage and workshop owners in Nairobi, where the money is in bay time, parts, and the customers who come back.
