A POS system designed for oil change and quick lube shops in Polokwane, helping operators handle high vehicle volumes, manage oil presets, and complete fast, accurate checkouts from a single dashboard.

## Problems We Solve

- **Cars Lined Up for a 15-Minute Job** — Quick lube lives on speed — a customer expects to be in and out in fifteen minutes, and a slow till between cars backs up the bays and the forecourt. On a busy day, every minute fumbling for the right oil and price is a car that drives past to the next quick lube.
- **The Wrong Oil Grade in the Wrong Engine** — Each vehicle needs a specific grade, viscosity, and quantity, and a guess at a busy bay is an engine risk, a comeback, and a liability. Looking it up from memory or a printed chart is exactly how the wrong oil ends up in the wrong car.

## How EliteTeQ Solves It

- An express workflow with vehicle presets and instant SnapScan, card, and cash bills each car in seconds, so the bays keep turning. *You get more vehicles through per day and stop cars driving past a backed-up forecourt.*
- Vehicle-based presets pull the right oil grade, viscosity, and quantity automatically, so the correct oil goes in every time. *Fewer engine-risk mistakes, comebacks, and liabilities at a busy bay.*

## How It Works

1. **Set Up Services & Oil Types** — Configure oil grades, vehicle presets, add-ons, and pricing.
2. **Service Vehicles & Bill Fast** — Process oil changes and payments in seconds.
3. **Analyze, Optimize & Grow** — Use reports to improve throughput and margins.

## Features

- **SnapScan, Card & Cash + Reminders** — Take SnapScan, cards, and cash with a SARS-compliant receipt, and capture the vehicle and service date to remind customers when the next change is due.
- **Express Bay Checkout** — An express workflow with vehicle presets and instant payment bills each car in seconds, so the bays keep turning and the forecourt does not back up.
- **Vehicle Oil-Spec Presets** — Presets pull the right oil grade, viscosity, and quantity per vehicle automatically, so the correct oil goes in every time and comebacks fall.
- **Bulk Oil Usage Tracking** — Track bulk and packaged oil by volume, deducting per service and flagging the gap between oil used and oil sold — so shrinkage shows.

## Running a Business in Polokwane

Polokwane sits in Limpopo Province and is the commercial centre of Limpopo.

Polokwane is the main retail and service centre for Limpopo, drawing shoppers from a wide rural catchment and from cross-border traffic on the route toward Zimbabwe. That gives it pronounced weekend and month-end peaks tied to pay cycles. Card use is high but cash retains a larger share than in the metros, and multi-tender handling matters.

The city draws shoppers from a wide rural catchment and from cross-border traffic toward Zimbabwe, concentrating demand into month-end and weekends. Cash retains a larger share than the metros. The binding constraint is surviving pay-cycle surges with accurate multi-tender reconciliation.

## Frequently Asked Questions

- **What currency and payment methods does EliteTeQ POS support in Polokwane?** EliteTeQ POS prices in ZAR (R) and records SnapScan, card and cash against the same sale, so oil change businesses in Polokwane close the day on one set of reconciled totals instead of three.

Polokwane sits in Limpopo Province, and a POS here has to absorb month-end and weekend surges and handle a larger cash share than the metros.

## From the EliteTeQ Team

**We have watched a car drive past a full bay too.** The fifteen-minute job slowed by a clumsy till, the wrong oil grade that risked an engine, the filter upsell forgotten in the rush, the drum of oil that never quite added up. EliteTeQ was not built in a boardroom — it was built next to quick lube and oil change owners in Nairobi, where speed is the promise, the margin is thin, and the add-ons and repeat visits are where you make money.
