## Stationery store POS software in Gulu

Gulu is the commercial centre of northern Uganda, supplying surrounding districts and trade heading north toward South Sudan. Mobile money is the everyday way to pay, wholesale and retail often run side by side, and power and network interruptions are part of normal trading.

For a stationery store in Gulu, that means a POS has to run wholesale and retail side by side with mobile money and offline selling.

- **Currency:** UGX
- **How customers pay:** MTN MoMo and Airtel Money, cards, and bank transfers
- **Tax records:** Ready for URA
- **Connectivity:** Keeps selling offline, syncs when back online

## Built for the way stationery stores actually sell

**A stock book nobody trusts?** Every sale, delivery and damaged item updates the count, with low-stock alerts on the fast movers, so you know what is on the shelf without counting erasers.

**One pen, three prices?** Set single, pack and carton prices on one item and sell any of them from the same stock, with the right quantity deducted every time.

**The first week of term empties the shelves?** Last term’s sales show which items went and how fast, so exercise books and maths sets are in before the parents arrive, and scanning keeps the queue moving.

**Schools and offices that pay “at the end of term”?** Each one has an account with invoices, a balance and due dates, and statements go out on WhatsApp.

**Photocopies paid in cash and never rung up?** Printing, photocopying and lamination are services with their own prices, on the same bill as the stationery.

**Paper costs more and your tags still say last month?** Record the delivery at the new cost and update the category’s prices in one place, live on every till, with the change logged.

## What EliteTeQ gives back to your stationery store

**A count you can trust without counting** (Stock · warehouses & branches) Every small line updates with each sale and delivery, in every shop and the storeroom.

**Your prices keep up with your costs** (Purchases · purchase returns) Deliveries are recorded at the new cost, and faulty stock goes back to the supplier and off their bill.

**A full list through the till in moments** (Sales · sales returns) Scan, choose single, pack or carton, and take back an unused item without breaking the count.

**Wet paper is on the record** (Damages) Damp reams and broken boxes are written off with a reason, so stock and profit stay true.

**Exercise books where the queue is** (Stock transfers) Move stock from the storeroom or a quiet branch to the shop near the school, with both counts right.

**Prices set by you, not the counter** (Roles & permissions) Staff sell and print; price changes, accounts and costs stay with the roles you choose.

**Know who changed a price** (Multi-user · audit logs) Every sale, price change and write-off is tied to a login and a time.

**Statements that get paid** (WhatsApp) Send schools and offices their statement on WhatsApp, and chase a supplier the same way.

**Every line has a history** (Product movement reports) Received, sold singly or by the pack, sent to an account or written off, line by line.

**Account sales in the books** (Accounting) Sales, invoices, services, purchases and expenses post to your accounts as they happen.

**Term-time staff in one system** (HRM) Staff records, roles and sales by person sit next to your stock, including the extra hands for the rush.

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