## Problems We Solve

- **Cash Going Missing Across Shifts** — A convenience store runs long hours over several shifts, mostly in cash, often while you are not there. A sale not rung up, a shortfall at change-over, a "sample" taken — without per-staff records and a clean cash-up, the leak hides between shifts and you only feel it at the end of the week.
- **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.
- **Expiry on Milk, Bread, and Snacks Eating Margin** — The fast-movers are also the first to expire — milk, bread, yoghurt, fresh snacks. Without sell-by tracking, they reach their date at the back of the shelf and get binned, and on the thin margins a convenience store runs on, that daily waste adds up faster than you think.

## How EliteTeQ Solves It

- High-speed barcode scanning, one-tap buttons for top sellers, and instant Mobile 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.*
- Every sale, void, and discount is logged to the staff member on shift, with manager-approved voids and an open/close cash-up that flags any variance by shift. *The between-shift leak becomes visible the same day instead of a mystery shortfall at week-end.*
- Track sell-by dates on perishables with alerts and suggested markdowns while the stock can still sell. *Far less milk and bread in the bin, and the thin margin you run on stays protected.*

## 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

- **Mobile Money, Card & Cash** — Take Mobile Money, cards, and cash with change worked out for you, and issue a GRA-compliant receipt automatically on every sale.
- **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.

## 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. We are a small, reachable team, and when you message us a real person replies — someone who understands a corner shop, not a script. Tell us what is slowing your store down, and we will show you plainly how we would fix it. No jargon, no pressure, and an honest answer even if it is "you might not need us yet."
