A POS system designed for gas stations and service stations in Makeni, helping operators manage convenience store inventory, record fuel sales, and track round-the-clock transactions from a single dashboard.

## Problems We Solve

- **Fuel and Shop Sales That Never Reconcile** — Litres pumped, drinks and snacks sold, airtime, the odd oil top-up — all flowing through different hands across the forecourt and the shop. Reconciling fuel against shop against the cash drawer by hand at shift end is a nightly headache, and a few litres or a few sales unaccounted for is margin gone on fuel that barely has any to spare.
- **A Forecourt That Never Stops, on a Single Slow Till** — Cars queue at the pumps and customers stack up in the shop, all at once, at all hours. Slow checkout on this kind of volume means longer queues, drivers who pay for fuel and skip the shop, and a forecourt that earns far less than the traffic passing through it should.

## How EliteTeQ Solves It

- Record fuel sales by product, quantity, and price alongside shop items in one system, so every stream lands on one shift report that reconciles against the drawer. *Shift-end reconciliation goes from a nightly headache to a quick, accurate close.*
- High-speed checkout with quick keys and instant Orange Money, card, and cash keeps both the pumps and the shop moving through every peak. *Queues clear faster, more drivers buy from the shop, and the forecourt earns what its traffic should.*

## How It Works

1. **Set Up Products & Pricing** — Add fuel types, shop items, and current pricing.
2. **Record Sales** — Process fuel and shop sales quickly and accurately.
3. **Track & Optimize** — Use reports to control losses and improve margins.

## Features

- **Unified Fuel & Shop Sales** — Record fuel by product, quantity, and price alongside shop items in one system, so every stream lands on one shift report that reconciles against the drawer.
- **Fast Forecourt Checkout** — High-speed checkout with quick keys and instant payment keeps both the pumps and the shop moving through every peak, so drivers buy from the shop too.
- **Central Fuel Price Control** — Update fuel prices once and they apply to every till at the same moment, so no cashier is ever on the old rate and your records match the dispenser.
- **Shift Cash-Up & Theft Control** — Per-cashier sales logs, manager-approved voids, auto-deducting shop stock, and an open/close cash-up per shift — so night-shift leakage shows the next morning.

## Running a Business in Makeni

Makeni sits in Bombali District and is the commercial centre of northern Sierra Leone.

Makeni serves as the trading and administrative centre for northern Sierra Leone, supplying smaller towns across the region. Most businesses are single-outlet and owner-operated, so clear daily totals, reliable stock counts and offline operation matter far more than multi-site reporting.

The town supplies smaller settlements across the north, with trade concentrated around market days. Most businesses are owner-run and single-site. The binding constraint is a clear daily total and a stock count that holds up without a live connection.

## Frequently Asked Questions

- **What currency and payment methods does EliteTeQ POS support in Makeni?** EliteTeQ POS prices in SLE (Le) and records Orange Money, card and cash against the same sale, so gas stations businesses in Makeni close the day on one set of reconciled totals instead of three. Tax invoices are produced to NRA requirements, and the till keeps working when the connection drops.
- **Is EliteTeQ POS suitable for gas stations businesses in Makeni?** Yes. Makeni sits in Bombali District, and a POS here has to give a single owner-run outlet clear daily totals and offline reliability. EliteTeQ POS is built for exactly that — SLE pricing, Orange Money recorded against each sale, NRA-ready tax invoicing, and full offline operation so trading continues when power or network does not.
- **Can the POS record fuel sales?** Yes, you can record fuel sales by type, quantity, and price alongside shop items.
- **Does it handle fuel price changes easily?** Absolutely. Fuel product prices can be updated centrally so every cashier charges the correct rate.
- **Can I track shop inventory losses?** Yes, variance reports and role-based access help identify and reduce losses.

## From the EliteTeQ Team

**We have chased a shortfall across a night shift too.** The fuel and shop takings that would not reconcile, the price change one cashier missed, the float that came up short at 3am. EliteTeQ was not built in a boardroom — it was built next to petrol station owners in Nairobi, where the forecourt never sleeps, the fuel margin is thin, and the cash moves through many hands.
