Supermarkets

Supermarket POS software for fast lanes, fresh food and tight stock control

A supermarket wins on speed at the lane, freshness on the shelf and margin that is not lost to waste. SalesLife covers all three, from the cashier's scanner to head office's view of every store.

A sale, from the lane to the ledger

What happens after the cashier presses pay.

StartCustomer sale
  1. Till

    Take the sale

    Scan items, apply promotions and loyalty, with supervisor gates on discounts and price overrides.

  2. Payments

    Take payment

    Cash, card, M-Pesa STK or Airtel Money, alone or split across tenders.

  3. KRA eTIMS

    Sign the invoice

    The sale is signed through the local VSCU agent and the fiscal QR is stored. If it cannot be signed, it queues and retries.

  4. Till

    Give the receipt

    Print it, or send it by SMS, WhatsApp or email.

  5. SalesLife HQ

    Sync and stage

    The branch pushes the sale to HQ, which validates and stages it. Failed pushes wait in the outbox.

  6. ERP

    Post to the ledger

    HQ posts to Dynamics 365 Business Central or SAP Business One once, with audit references.

Built for the lane

Fast scanning

Barcode scan, category grid and search, with held sales, cashier handoff and a pending-payments queue.

Self-checkout

A self-checkout lane on the same platform, using the same prices, promotions and fiscal signing.

Queue busting

A floor-selling companion cart lets staff ring up customers waiting in the queue.

Every tender

Cash, M-Pesa, Airtel Money, card, gift card and loyalty, split across one sale.

Fresh food and weighed items

Live scale weight

Weighed items read from the scale hardware at the till.

Recipes and prepared food

Sold PLUs net inventory through automatic work orders and recipe bills of materials, for deli counters, butcheries and bakeries.

Batch and expiry

FEFO picking, expiry filters and batch trace, so older stock sells first.

Stock you can trust

Cycle counts, adjustments for damage and shrinkage, and reorder suggestions from sell-through.

Protect the margin

  • Supervisor approval for voids, refunds, discounts and price overrides, with an override log
  • Shrinkage and anomaly detection: refund spikes, void rates, discount abuse and till shortages
  • End-of-day tender reconciliation against the receipts head office holds
  • Central pricing and promotions published to every store at once
FAQ

Common questions

Can SalesLife handle weighed items?

Yes. Weighed items integrate with scale hardware, and sold PLUs can net inventory through recipes and work orders.

Does it offer self-checkout?

Yes. Self-checkout runs on the same platform as the staffed lanes.

What happens if the internet drops?

Cash sales, credit-account sales and stock lookup continue. M-Pesa and card payments wait for the connection.

How do we manage many stores?

SalesLife Central publishes prices and range to every store and shows stock and sales across them.
