# Painting POS Software for Kenya

Painting contractors in Kenya require a POS system that manages residential and commercial painting jobs, materials, crews, deposits, and milestone billing accurately. EliteTeQ Painting POS is built specifically for painting businesses to track projects, materials, crews, and payments from a single professional system.

Built for painting contractors in Kenya to quote jobs, bill projects, and manage crews efficiently.

## Problems We Solve

- **You Front the Paint and Wait Weeks to Get Paid** — You buy litres of paint and primer, pay the crew weekly, then invoice once the last wall is dry. Without deposits and milestone billing, your own cash is tied up on someone's walls while the supplier wants paying now.
- **Pricing a Job by Eye and Hoping You Got It Right** — You walk the rooms, count the walls, guess the coats, and put a number on it in your head. Get the area or the paint type wrong and you have either talked yourself out of the job or committed to days of work for a price that barely covers the paint.
- **The Quote Said Two Coats; the Wall Needed Four** — Old paint bleeding through, cracks that need filling, a colour change halfway, surfaces that drink primer. The job grows well past the estimate, but the client is holding the quote you gave — so the final bill turns into a doorstep negotiation instead of a signature.
- **Crews on Different Sites and No Clear Picture** — One crew is on a house repaint, another on a commercial unit. Who is on schedule, who is behind, which job is actually earning — you are driving between sites to find out, and the progress lives in phone calls and memory.

## How EliteTeQ Solves It

- Convert the quote to an invoice that adjusts for the extra coats, filling, and primer actually needed — itemised so the client sees why. *The higher bill makes sense instead of starting a doorstep argument, and you get paid for the real job.*
- Quote by area, surface, paint type, and labour in a few taps, so each job gets an accurate price instead of a number guessed on the walk-round. *You win work with confident quotes and stop committing to days of work that barely cover the paint.*
- Take a deposit up front and bill at milestones as the job progresses, with balances tracked automatically to the final payment. *Cash comes in as the work happens — your money is no longer tied up drying on someone's walls.*
- Track each job's stage, crew, and revenue so you can see who is on schedule and which sites are earning, without driving across town. *You manage every site from one screen and catch a slipping job before it costs you.*

## Payments & Compliance in Kenya

Built for Kenyan businesses with KRA eTIMS compliance, instant M-Pesa reconciliation, KES pricing, and full offline mode for areas with unreliable internet.

Trade concentrates in Nairobi and along the Mombasa corridor, with county towns served by traders who restock weekly from the capital. Mobile money reaches further than banking does, so even rural shops settle by phone. Month-end and school-term dates move retail demand more than any promotion.

**Accepted payment methods in Kenya:** M-Pesa (STK Push & Till/Paybill), cards, and bank transfers.

## Frequently Asked Questions

- **What currency and payment methods does EliteTeQ POS support in Kenya?** EliteTeQ POS prices in KES (KSh) and records M-Pesa, card and cash against the same sale, so painting services businesses in Kenya close the day on one set of reconciled totals instead of three. Tax invoices are produced to KRA requirements, and the till keeps working when the connection drops.
- **What should a painting services business in Kenya look for in a POS system?** In Kenya, a POS has to reconcile M-Pesa against the sale and issue an eTIMS invoice without slowing the queue. Trade concentrates in Nairobi and along the Mombasa corridor, with county towns served by traders who restock weekly from the capital. Mobile money reaches further than banking does, so even rural shops settle by phone. Month-end and school-term dates move retail demand more than any promotion. EliteTeQ POS is built around those conditions rather than adapted to them after the fact, with KES pricing and KRA-ready invoicing.
- **Can the POS handle painting projects of any size?** Yes, both small residential and large commercial painting projects are fully supported.
- **Does it support deposits and staged payments?** Absolutely. Deposits and milestone payments are supported.
- **Can I track paint usage per project?** Yes, materials and paint usage can be tracked per job.
- **Is it suitable for residential and commercial painting?** Yes, it works for homes, offices, warehouses, and industrial painting.
- **Can I track painting crews?** Yes, jobs, progress, and revenue can be tracked by crew.

## From the EliteTeQ Team

**We have quoted two coats and watched a wall need four too.** We know the job priced by eye that grows once you start, and the litres of paint you front while waiting weeks to be paid. EliteTeQ was not built in a boardroom — it was built next to real painting crews in Nairobi, costing jobs by area and coats and billing milestones to keep cash moving. So when you message us, a real person replies — someone who understands quotes that change, deposits, and crews on different sites — not a script. No jargon, no pressure, and an honest answer even if it is "you might not need us yet."
