# Print Shop POS Software for Mombasa

Print shops in Mombasa require a POS system that manages custom print jobs, materials, quotes, deposits, and job-based billing accurately. EliteTeQ Print POS is built specifically for digital, offset, and commercial print shops to track orders, manage materials, and process payments from a single streamlined system.

Built for print shops in Mombasa to quote jobs, track print orders, and manage payments efficiently.

## Problems We Solve

- **A Rush Deadline and No Clear View of the Queue** — Jobs move from artwork to proof to print to finishing to pickup, often against tight deadlines. Without a clear queue, a rush job gets buried, a deadline is missed, and a corporate client who needed it for an event walks away for good.
- **You Cannot See Which Jobs and Services Actually Make Money** — Business cards, banners, bulk flyers, binding — all keep the presses busy, but which services and job types actually profit after materials and time is a guess. You quote and chase work on instinct.

## How EliteTeQ Solves It

- Convert the quote to an invoice that adjusts for approved changes, itemised so the customer sees why. *The final bill matches the agreed job, and pickup is a clean handover instead of a debate.*
- Build job pricing from size, stock, colour, finishing, and quantity so every quote is accurate and instant. *You quote fast and consistently, and stop pricing runs that quietly lose money.*

## How It Works

1. **Set Up Services & Materials** — Add print services, materials, pricing rules, and finishing options.
2. **Quote, Print & Bill** — Create quotes, process jobs, and collect payments.
3. **Track & Optimize** — Use reports to improve margins and turnaround time.

## Features

- **Quotes & Estimates** — Create quotes and convert them into invoices.
- **Job-Based Billing** — Bill print jobs by specifications and quantity.
- **Order Status Tracking** — Track jobs from design to print to pickup.
- **Deposits & Flexible Payments** — Accept deposits, partial payments, and cashless options.

## Running a Business in Mombasa

Mombasa's retail environment is shaped by its port economy, tourism calendar, and infrastructure challenges. Nyali has emerged as the city's premium retail and dining hub, with malls like City Mall Nyali and Nyali Centre anchoring a growing middle-class consumer base. The CBD remains a high-traffic zone for wholesale and retail trade, while Old Town markets cater to tourists and local traders dealing in spices, textiles, and handicrafts. Power reliability is a persistent concern, with businesses in some areas experiencing 4-6 outages per month lasting 2-4 hours each. M-Pesa adoption exceeds 90% in retail transactions, and tourist-facing businesses also need card payment processing for international visitors. Import businesses near the port require multi-currency cost tracking and customs-aligned inventory management. KRA eTIMS compliance is equally enforced on the coast, and businesses without automated tax reporting face the same penalties as their Nairobi counterparts.

## From the EliteTeQ Team

**We know "can you just change..." after the quote is the whole game.** We know every job is a fresh calculation, the changes that come after the price is agreed, and the rush deadline buried in the queue. EliteTeQ was not built in a boardroom — it was built next to real print shops in Nairobi, building job quotes, tracking the print queue, and managing deposits and consumables.
