A POS system designed for copy centers in Lusaka, 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

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

## Running a Business in Lusaka

Lusaka sits in Lusaka Province and is Zambia's capital and commercial centre.

Lusaka holds most of Zambia's formal retail trade, from central markets to modern shopping centres along the main arterial roads. Mobile money is used widely alongside card and cash, VAT is administered by the Zambia Revenue Authority, and businesses are expected to issue compliant fiscal receipts. As a landlocked market, most goods arrive overland from the south, so landed cost and resupply timing affect margins directly.

Central markets and the shopping centres along the main arterial roads serve very different baskets, and most goods arrive overland from the south. The binding constraint is landed-cost tracking on imported stock, combined with compliant fiscal receipting on every sale.

## Frequently Asked Questions

- **What currency and payment methods does EliteTeQ POS support in Lusaka?** EliteTeQ POS prices in ZMW (ZK) and records Mobile Money, card and cash against the same sale, so copy centers businesses in Lusaka close the day on one set of reconciled totals instead of three. Tax invoices are produced to ZRA requirements, and the till keeps working when the connection drops.
- **Is EliteTeQ POS suitable for copy centers businesses in Lusaka?** Yes. Lusaka sits in Lusaka Province, and a POS here has to issue a compliant fiscal receipt and track landed cost on overland imports. EliteTeQ POS is built for exactly that — ZMW pricing, Mobile Money recorded against each sale, ZRA-ready tax invoicing, and full offline operation so trading continues when power or network does not.
- **Can the POS bill per page and per copy?** Yes, pricing can be set by page count, size, and color.
- **Is it fast enough for walk-in customers?** Absolutely. It’s optimized for quick counter service.
- **Can I track large copy jobs?** Yes, job status tracking is included.

## 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.
