POS installation support in Kenya

Install and configure a licensed POS package with tested hardware and daily workflows.

A CONCRETE EXAMPLE · ILLUSTRATIVE

Fictional POS support POS-87 configures one merchant-owned Android tablet running Loyverse with one Epson TM-m 30 Bluetooth receipt printer and ten already-approved test items. The exact model/interface is an example from the vendor compatibility list; the supplier must verify the actual unit before purchase. Output is compatibility sheet, configured printer, test-receipt log and cashier exercise. Card-terminal/acquirer configuration, electrical repair, cash handling, fiscal/eTIMS integration and device unlocking are excluded.

Who is the first customer?

Retail shops and hospitality counters.

Test the offer

Run fictional sales, refunds and end-of-day checks.
