A POS system designed for auto detailing studios and mobile detailers in Pietermaritzburg, helping operators manage packages, add-ons, appointments, and flexible payments from a single dashboard.

## Problems We Solve

- **Tiered Packages That Confuse the Counter** — Bronze, silver, gold, plus a dozen add-ons — detailing pricing is a matrix, and quoting it from memory means inconsistent prices, undercharged jobs, and a customer who got a different number last time. The package structure is your pricing, and on paper it gets muddled fast.
- **The High-Margin Extras Left Off the Bill** — Ceramic coating, paint correction, an engine-bay clean, interior treatment — the premium add-ons are where detailing makes real money, yet in a busy bay they get done as a favour or forgotten at checkout. Those extras driving off unbilled is pure margin gone.

## How EliteTeQ Solves It

- Job cards track each car from check-in to completion with status and the quoted work attached. *You always know which car is where, billing is accurate, and customers stop calling to chase.*
- Take deposits and part-payments with SnapScan, card, and cash, with every balance clear per job. *No forgotten deposits or disputed balances on your high-value work.*

## How It Works

1. **Set Up Packages & Services** — Configure detailing packages, add-ons, pricing, and presets.
2. **Detail Vehicles & Bill Accurately** — Track jobs and process deposits or final payments.
3. **Analyze, Optimize & Grow** — Use reports to improve efficiency and profitability.

## Features

- **Job Cards & Status Tracking** — Track each car from check-in to completion with status and the quoted work attached, so you always know which car is where and billing is accurate.
- **Deposits & SnapScan Payments** — Take deposits and part-payments with SnapScan, card, and cash, with every balance clear per job and a SARS-compliant receipt.
- **Tiered Package & Add-On Billing** — Sell tiered and custom packages that price correctly every time, with one-tap ceramic, paint-correction, and interior add-ons prompted at checkout.
- **Appointments & Walk-Ins** — Manage booked jobs and walk-ins against the bay on one calendar, so clashes and idle bays surface before they waste your capacity.

## Running a Business in Pietermaritzburg

Pietermaritzburg sits in KwaZulu-Natal Province and is the provincial capital of KwaZulu-Natal.

Pietermaritzburg is an administrative, education and light-manufacturing centre inland from Durban, with steadier year-round demand than the coast and a substantial student population producing term-time swings. Many operators also trade in Durban, so consolidated multi-site stock and sales reporting is genuinely useful. Card payment is standard and grid interruptions apply as nationally.

Administration, education and light manufacturing give steadier year-round trade than the coast, with a student population driving term-time swings. Many operators also trade in Durban. The binding constraint is consolidated reporting across the two cities.

## Frequently Asked Questions

- **What currency and payment methods does EliteTeQ POS support in Pietermaritzburg?** EliteTeQ POS prices in ZAR (R) and records SnapScan, card and cash against the same sale, so auto detailing businesses in Pietermaritzburg close the day on one set of reconciled totals instead of three. Tax invoices are produced to SARS requirements, and the till keeps working when the connection drops.
- **Is EliteTeQ POS suitable for auto detailing businesses in Pietermaritzburg?** Yes. Pietermaritzburg sits in KwaZulu-Natal Province, and a POS here has to flex with university terms and consolidate stock with Durban outlets. EliteTeQ POS is built for exactly that — ZAR pricing, SnapScan recorded against each sale, SARS-ready tax invoicing, and full offline operation so trading continues when power or network does not.
- **Can I track detailing jobs from start to finish?** Yes. Job cards track status from check-in to completion.
- **Can the POS manage detailing packages and custom services?** Yes. Tiered packages and custom detailing services are fully supported.
- **Does it support deposits and partial payments?** Absolutely. Deposits and partial payments are built in.

## From the EliteTeQ Team

**We have quoted a detail from memory and got it wrong too.** The tiered package muddled at the counter, the ceramic upgrade done as a favour and never billed, the deposit on a big job nobody could find. EliteTeQ was not built in a boardroom — it was built next to auto detailers in Nairobi, where the bay is your capacity and the premium add-ons are where the money is.
