What EliteTeQ gives back to your second-hand clothing business
Every part of EliteTeQ, described by what it does for a second-hand clothing shop.
Pay for the bales that pay
Record each bale with its cost and supplier, and send back one that is not what you ordered, off the supplier’s bill.
Reordering without overstocking →One price per grade, takings that match
Pieces sell at the grade price chosen in one tap, and a returned piece goes back against the right sale.
The sales reports worth running →Rejects on the record
Torn and stained pieces are written off against their bale, so a bale full of rejects shows its real profit.
Where lost stock really goes →Pieces where they sell
Move good grades to the stall that sells them and the rest to where they clear, with every move on record.
Running several branches and stores →Sellers sell, you set prices
Staff choose the grade price; changing prices, refunds and bale costs need the right role.
Fair rules that stop till fraud →Every price change has a name on it
Each sale, price change and refund is tied to a seller and a time, at every stall.
Catching shrinkage early →Traders and regulars kept in the loop
Tell wholesale buyers and regular shoppers on WhatsApp when new bales are in or a fresh bale is being opened.
Follow every bale to the end
Bought, opened, graded, sold, moved or written off, so you know where each bale went.
Reading stock turnover →Know what the business really made
Bale costs, sales and expenses post to your accounts as they happen, with profit by bale and stall.
Accounting and ERP in one system →Your sellers in the same system
Staff records, roles and sales by seller sit next to your stock, not in a separate book.
Staff, payroll and branches →Your business in your pocket, online or off
Check every branch from your phone, and keep selling at the market when the network drops. Everything syncs when it returns.
Cloud vs traditional POS →Still running your bales on a notebook?

A day in a second-hand clothing business on EliteTeQ
An illustrative day, not a customer story.
Before the market opens, you check yesterday’s takings by stall and which bales are still behind their cost.
A new bale is opened at the main shop. Pieces are graded, and the rejects are written off against that bale.
The stall opens. Each piece is sold at its grade price, chosen in one tap.
A trader buys two unopened bales whole. The wholesale sale comes out of the same stock.
Grade A tops sell faster at the main shop. Some move over from Stall 2, on record.
Profit per supplier shows one supplier’s bales carry too many rejects, before the next order goes out.
Closing. Cash, mobile money and card reconcile against the day's sales at each stall.

What should a second-hand clothing seller look for in a POS system?
Look for bale records with cost and supplier, prices by grade chosen in one tap, profit per bale and per supplier, rejects written off against the bale, wholesale and retail from one stock, separate counts per stall, and an offline mode for the market.
Can I track profit per bale?
Yes. Each bale is recorded with its cost and supplier, and every piece sold from it is tracked against it, so you see what each bale earned.
Every piece is different. How do I price them?
Set prices by grade or category, such as Grade A, B and C or tops, jeans and jackets, and choose the right one in one tap at the counter. Every piece of the same grade sells at the same price.
Can I sell whole bales as well as single pieces?
Yes. Sell bales whole to traders or open them for retail and sell piece by piece, all from the same stock record.
What happens to rejects?
Torn, stained or unsellable pieces are written off with a reason against the bale they came from, so the bale’s profit stays honest.
Can customers pay with mobile money?
Yes. EliteTeQ records mobile money, card and cash against each sale, so every payment method reconciles at closing. In Kenya, M-Pesa is integrated directly.
Can I run several stalls or shops?
Yes. Each stall and shop is tracked separately, pieces moved between them are on record, and you see them all from your phone.
Does it work offline at the market?
Yes. Selling carries on when the network drops, and everything syncs when the connection returns.
Can I see which suppliers make me money?
Yes. Because every bale carries its supplier and cost, reports show profit and rejects by supplier, so you buy more of the bales that pay.
Can I stop sellers changing prices?
Yes. Sellers choose the grade price at the counter; changing prices, giving refunds or seeing bale costs needs the role you choose, and every change is logged with the login and the time.
How much does second-hand clothing POS software cost?
EliteTeQ starts from USD 499 per year (KES 5,000 per month in Kenya) and scales with your branches, products and users. Setup and importing your product list are free.
