A POS system designed for copy centers in Kisumu, helping operators price per copy accurately, manage bulk jobs, and process fast payments from a single dashboard.

## Problems We Solve

- **Pricing 200 Pages, Some Colour, Some A3 — in Your Head at the Counter** — A customer hands over a mixed stack — black-and-white, a few colour pages, some A3, double-sided — and you are totting it up by hand with a queue forming. You round it off, usually down, and across a busy day that undercharging is a real chunk of your margin gone.
- **A Queue of Students and Every Job Is Small** — Lunchtime and exam season bring a line of quick, low-value jobs, and copy centers live on turning that queue fast. Slow, manual pricing at each one means the line grows, people give up, and you lose the volume the whole business runs on.

## How EliteTeQ Solves It

- Track paper and toner with low-stock alerts before you run dry. *The machine keeps running through the queue, and you reorder before a shortage stops the counter.*
- Price by page count, size, colour, and finishing so a mixed job totals correctly in a few taps. *Every job is billed accurately and fast, and the daily undercharging on big stacks stops.*

## How It Works

1. **Set Up Copy Services** — Add copy types, sizes, pricing, and finishing options.
2. **Copy & Bill** — Process walk-in and bulk copy jobs quickly.
3. **Track & Optimize** — Use reports to manage volume and profitability.

## Features

- **Fast Counter POS** — Designed for high walk-in traffic.
- **Flexible Payments** — Accept deposits, cash, cards, and mobile payments.
- **Per-Page Billing** — Charge by page count, size, and color.
- **Job Status Tracking** — Track copy jobs from intake to pickup.

## Running a Business in Kisumu

Kisumu's business landscape is evolving rapidly as Western Kenya's growing middle class drives increased spending on healthcare, retail, and dining. The pharmacy sector is particularly strong, with over 400 registered pharmacies and chemists serving Kisumu and the surrounding Lake Region counties. Supermarkets like Naivas and local chains compete for market share in Kisumu CBD and the Milimani residential area. Agricultural trade remains central to the economy, with fish from Lake Victoria, sugarcane, and rice creating supply chains that connect rural producers to urban retailers. M-Pesa adoption is above 88% for retail transactions, and businesses are increasingly expected to provide digital receipts. KRA eTIMS enforcement in Kisumu has intensified, with tax authorities conducting regular compliance audits on retail and pharmacy businesses. For Kisumu business owners, a POS system that handles pharmaceutical batch tracking, agricultural inventory, and automated tax compliance is essential for sustainable growth.

## From the EliteTeQ Team

**We know the lunchtime queue of small jobs is the whole business.** We know the mixed 200-page stack priced in your head, the student queue you have to turn fast, and the toner that runs out mid-line. EliteTeQ was not built in a boardroom — it was built next to real copy centers in Nairobi, pricing per page, clearing walk-in queues, and tracking bulk jobs and consumables.
