A POS system designed for hardware and building materials stores in Mbuji-Mayi, helping retailers manage bulk inventory, multiple units of measure, and high-volume counter sales from a single dashboard.

## Problems We Solve

- **Contractor Accounts and Credit Done on Paper** — Your best customers are contractors who buy on account and pay later, and tracking who owes what, their credit limit, and their part-payments in a notebook leads to disputes, forgotten debts, and cash flow you cannot predict from one month to the next.
- **No Idea Which Lines and Suppliers Actually Pay** — Which items carry your margin, which suppliers are worth the relationship, which slow stock is tying up your cash? Without the numbers you over-order the wrong lines, run short on the fast movers, and cannot see which part of the shop actually makes the money.

## How EliteTeQ Solves It

- Give contractors proper accounts with credit limits, part-payments, and statements, so every balance is clear and chasing payment is a click, not a memory. *Fewer disputes, no forgotten debts, and cash flow you can actually predict.*
- Fast product search, shortcuts, and barcode scanning with instant M-Pesa, card, and cash keep the counter moving through the morning trade rush. *You serve more customers at peak and keep your trade buyers instead of losing them to a faster supplier.*

## How It Works

1. **Set Up Products & Units** — Add hardware items with units of measure, pricing rules, and suppliers.
2. **Sell Fast at the Counter** — Process walk-in and contractor sales quickly and accurately.
3. **Track, Reorder & Grow** — Monitor stock, reorder on time, and improve margins using insights.

## Features

- **Contractor Accounts & Credit** — Give trade customers accounts with credit limits, part-payments, and statements, so every balance is clear and chasing payment is a click, not a memory.
- **M-Pesa, Card & Cash** — Fast product search and barcode scanning with M-Pesa, cards, cash, and split payments, plus a DGI-compliant receipt on every sale.
- **Flexible Unit Selling** — Sell by piece, length, weight, carton, or bulk with the right price and stock deduction handled automatically — so mixed orders ring up accurately and the count stays true.
- **Real-Time Inventory & Theft Control** — Stock deducts on every sale across thousands of small SKUs, with per-staff logs, manager-approved adjustments, and variance reports that flag loose-stock shrinkage early.

## Running a Business in Mbuji-Mayi

Mbuji-Mayi sits in Kasaï-Oriental Province and is a diamond-mining centre in the central DRC.

Mbuji-Mayi's commerce is shaped by artisanal and industrial diamond mining, which means earnings arrive in irregular lump sums rather than steady wages and retail demand moves with them. The city is remote from major supply corridors, so resupply is slow and stock planning is consequential. Cash dominates, dollars circulate alongside Congolese francs, and connectivity is unreliable.

Artisanal and industrial diamond mining means income arrives in irregular lumps and retail demand moves with it. The city is far from major supply corridors. The binding constraint is reorder accuracy combined with credit across unpredictable earning cycles.

## From the EliteTeQ Team

**We have watched a kilo of nails leave uncounted too.** The order sold by piece, metre, and kilo all at once, the fittings that quietly walked off a busy counter, the contractor whose account nobody could quite reconcile. EliteTeQ was not built in a boardroom — it was built next to hardware and building-supply owners in Nairobi, where the stock is a thousand loose items and your best customers buy on credit.
