Built for the way fruit and vegetable shops actually run

See How EliteTeQ Solves This →
Selling below what you paid this morning?
Market prices move every day. Update the day’s prices in one place and they apply on every till straight away, so nobody charges yesterday’s price.
Spoilage you never measure?
Tomatoes and greens go soft fast. Record what is thrown away as a write-off with a reason, and see it in the daily report.
Kilo to one customer, heap to the next?
Sell the same produce by kilo, bunch, heap or piece, each at its own price, from one stock record. For weight, the cashier enters it and the till works out the price.
Takings that never match the stall?
Every sale records how it was paid, so cash, M-Pesa and card add up against the day’s sales at closing.
Hotels and restaurants paying late?
Each hotel and restaurant has an account with a limit, daily orders are invoiced, and statements go out on WhatsApp.

What EliteTeQ gives back to your fruit and vegetable shop

Every part of EliteTeQ, described by what it does for a fruit and vegetable shop.

Stock · warehouses & branches

Know what is left before you buy again

Live stock by item for the store room and every branch, so the morning buying list starts from what is really there.

How stock control works →
Purchases · purchase returns

Know what this morning really cost

Each morning’s buying is recorded at cost against the supplier, and produce that arrives bad goes back and off their bill.

Reordering without overstocking →
Sales · sales returns

The right price on every sale

Kilo, bunch, heap or piece, each sells at today’s price, and a returned item is recorded properly instead of quietly swapped.

The sales reports worth running →
Damages

See what spoilage is costing you

Soft tomatoes and wilted greens are written off with a reason, so wastage shows up today, not at the end of a bad month.

Where lost stock really goes →
Roles & permissions

Staff sell, you set the prices

Only the right role can change the day’s prices, give credit or void a sale, and only you see costs and profit.

Fair rules that stop till fraud →
Multi-user · audit logs

Every price change has a name

Each person has a login, so a price change, a void or a gap in the drawer is traced to the shift and the person.

Catching shrinkage early →
WhatsApp

Hotels paid up without phone calls

Send statements to hotels and restaurants, and confirm orders with suppliers, on WhatsApp.

Still running your shop on memory and a notebook?
