Why South African businesses switch to POSly.
Because running a shop on a till app, three spreadsheets and a WhatsApp group costs more than it looks.
Built here, for here.
Laybys, 15% VAT, trade accounts and statements, WhatsApp, Takealot and cash-heavy trading are the spec. Imported systems treat them as add-ons.
One system, not seven.
Till, stock, branches, purchasing, customers, loyalty, WhatsApp, debtors, staff and reports share one set of records. Nothing to retype, nothing to reconcile between apps.
It grows with you.
Start with the till and stock. Switch on branches, WhatsApp, online selling, debtors, HR or the Operations Playbook when you need them, without moving systems.
If it happened, it's on record.
Transfers that must be accepted, manager PINs on sensitive actions, cash-ups that explain themselves and logs on every change.
The patchwork, compared.
What most growing shops use today, next to the same job in POSly.
| The job | Separate tools | POSly |
|---|---|---|
| Stock across branches and the warehouse | A spreadsheet someone updates on Fridays | Live per location, with transfers that must be accepted |
| Laybys | A hardcover book at the counter | On the till, in stock figures and reports |
| Account customers | Statements typed up when someone has time | Scheduled statements and reminders by email or WhatsApp |
| Customer messages | The manager's personal phone | A shared WhatsApp inbox on your business number |
| Website stock | Updated by hand, often wrong | Fed from POSly, reserved at checkout |
| Cash-ups | Short, and nobody knows why | Counted against expected, with a note for every difference |
Shipping every month.
POSly is built with the businesses that use it. This is what went live in the last three months.
