An IT-retail-ready POS system designed for computer stores in Port Elizabeth, helping operators sell, service, and manage hardware accurately from one dashboard.

## Problems We Solve

- **A Warranty Claim and No Record to Stand On** — A customer returns with a failed drive insisting it is under warranty. You are flipping through receipts and supplier emails trying to confirm the purchase date and coverage. Without a warranty record tied to the serial, you either eat a claim you should not, or refuse a valid one and lose the customer.
- **Two Laptops, Same Model, and You Sold the Wrong One** — A customer buys a specific spec, but on the shelf sit three near-identical boxes — different RAM, different warranty start dates. Without serial-level tracking you hand over the wrong unit, and weeks later a warranty claim turns into a mess because nobody knows which physical machine was actually sold.

## How EliteTeQ Solves It

- Track every device by serial number and spec from intake to sale, so the exact unit and its warranty are recorded at checkout. *You hand over the right machine every time and warranty claims resolve cleanly, with no guessing.*
- Run sales and repair ticketing in one system, with parts, labour, and service history linked to each customer and device. *A returning customer's purchase and repair history is in one place, and the counter and bench finally work together.*

## Running a Business in Gqeberha (Port Elizabeth)

Gqeberha (Port Elizabeth) sits in Eastern Cape Province and is a port city and centre of vehicle manufacturing.

Gqeberha's commerce is tied to vehicle manufacturing and its port, which gives it a substantial wage-earning workforce with regular pay cycles and therefore more predictable retail demand than tourism-led cities. Businesses supplying industry need invoicing and credit accounts alongside walk-in sales. Card payment is standard and grid interruptions apply as nationally.

Vehicle manufacturing and the port provide a large payroll on regular cycles, making demand more predictable than in tourism-led cities. The binding constraint is invoicing and credit terms for industrial customers alongside ordinary walk-in retail.

## Frequently Asked Questions

- **What currency and payment methods does EliteTeQ POS support in Gqeberha (Port Elizabeth)?** EliteTeQ POS prices in ZAR (R) and records SnapScan, card and cash against the same sale, so computer stores businesses in Gqeberha (Port Elizabeth) 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 computer stores businesses in Gqeberha (Port Elizabeth)?** Yes. Gqeberha (Port Elizabeth) sits in Eastern Cape Province, and a POS here has to invoice manufacturing customers on account and plan for predictable payday demand. 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 the POS track serial numbers and IMEI?** Yes, EliteTeQ POS tracks each device individually by serial number or IMEI throughout its entire lifecycle in your store. When a unit is received into inventory, the identifier is recorded against that stock item, so you can pinpoint exactly which physical device was sold, returned, or sent out for repair at any time. This level of traceability is essential for computer stores handling high-value goods, warranty claims, and theft prevention, giving you a complete audit trail from purchase order to customer receipt.
- **Is it suitable for IT shops and computer distributors?** Yes, EliteTeQ is built to handle the full range of computer retail and IT reseller operations, from a single-location computer shop to a multi-branch IT distributor managing trade and retail customers simultaneously. The platform supports different customer pricing tiers, purchase order management with supplier lead times, serial-level stock control, and service workflows, covering the distinct needs of both over-the-counter retail and business-to-business supply. Whether you sell walk-in to consumers or fulfil bulk orders for corporate clients, the same system manages your inventory, invoicing, and reporting in one place.
- **Does it support computer and laptop repairs?** Yes, EliteTeQ includes full repair and service ticket management designed to handle the workflow of a computer or laptop repair shop. Each ticket captures the customer details, device information, reported fault, assigned technician, parts used, labour time, and current repair status, so nothing gets lost between drop-off and collection. Customers can be notified when their device is ready, and the completed ticket history links directly to the device record, giving your team instant context for any future service visit.

## From the EliteTeQ Team

**We have sold the wrong identical laptop too.** We know the warranty claim with no record to stand on, and the counter and the repair bench running on separate notebooks. EliteTeQ was not built in a boardroom — it was built next to real computer shops in Nairobi, tracking serials, linking sales to repairs, and chasing accessory shrinkage.
