## Cosmetic store POS software in Medina

Medina receives large numbers of pilgrims and visitors year-round, with sharp peaks in the Hajj and Ramadan seasons, so hotels, restaurants and retail near the centre see strong seasonal swings. mada cards and wallets are the norm, and ZATCA's e-invoicing (Fatoora) rules apply to taxable businesses.

For a cosmetic store in Medina, that means a POS has to handle pilgrimage-season surges while issuing ZATCA-compliant e-invoices.

- **Currency:** SAR
- **How customers pay:** mada, Apple Pay, STC Pay, and cards
- **Tax records:** Ready for ZATCA
- **Connectivity:** Keeps selling offline, syncs when back online

## Built for the way cosmetic stores actually sell

**Out of the shade they want?** Every product is tracked by shade, size, finish and brand, with a low-stock alert before the popular shade runs dry.

**Skincare expiring on the shelf?** Batch and expiry dates are recorded when stock arrives, so the older batch sells first and nothing expired reaches a customer.

**Testers and samples off the books?** Testers and samples are written off against stock with a reason, so the month-end gap becomes a line you can see.

**Promotions rung up differently by each person?** Bundles and offers are set once and applied the same way at checkout, so you can see afterwards what each one earned.

**A queue on payday?** Scan, apply the offer and take mada, card or cash on one screen, so beauty shoppers do not abandon the basket.

**Not sure which lines sell?** Sales by brand, category and shade show the heroes to reorder and the slow lines tying up your cash.

## What EliteTeQ gives back to your cosmetic store

**The shade on the shelf, not in doubt** (Stock · warehouses & branches) Live stock by shade and size in every shop and the store room, so you answer a customer in seconds.

**Reorder the heroes, not the guesses** (Purchases · purchase returns) Buy from what actually sold, record each delivery with its batch, and send faulty stock back to the supplier.

**Offers that ring up right every time** (Sales · sales returns) Bundles and promotions applied the same way at checkout, and returns that go back into the right shade.

**Testers and expiry no longer a mystery** (Damages · expiry) Expiring batches are flagged while they can still sell, and every tester or broken item is written off with a reason.

**Shades moved to where they sell** (Stock transfers) Send a shade from a quiet branch to the one where customers keep asking, with both counts right.

**Discounts only with approval** (Roles & permissions) Staff sell; discounts, voids and costs need a manager’s role.

**Every discount has a name on it** (Multi-user · audit logs) Each sale, discount, void and write-off is tied to a login and a time.

**Suppliers sorted without the chasing** (WhatsApp) Confirm orders and short deliveries with suppliers on WhatsApp, and reach a real person at EliteTeQ the same way.

**Every lipstick has a history** (Product movement reports) Received, sold, transferred, used as a tester or written off, shade by shade.

**See what a promotion really cost** (Accounting) Sales, purchases and expenses post as they happen, with profit by branch and category.

**Your counter team in one place** (HRM) Staff records, roles and sales by staff member sit next to your stock.

**Your business in your pocket, online or off** (Cloud · offline) Check every branch from your phone, and keep the counter selling when the network drops. Everything syncs when it returns.
