POS system for boutiques, supermarkets and alimentations in Rwanda
Businesses in Rwanda sell with MTN MoMo, Airtel Money or cash, and regular customers buy on credit for regular customers. Afritelligence records all of it on the same sale: take MTN MoMo with its reference, the rest in cash, or put the balance on the customer's account with a limit. At closing you see what came in by each method, what was sold and the profit, in RWF.
It runs in the browser on the phone, tablet or laptop you already have — no POS machine to buy — for traders in Kigali, Musanze, Huye and Rubavu, from a stall near Kimironko and Nyabugogo to a shop with several branches.
- ✓MTN MoMo and cash on one sale, with the reference
- ✓Customer credit with limits and statements
- ✓TIN on every receipt
- ✓Stock that goes down with each sale and up with each delivery
- ✓Daily sales, profit and payment reports
- ✓Branches and staff roles on one login
What is a POS system?
A POS (point of sale) system is where a business records each sale: what was sold, the price, the tax and how the customer paid. A good one also keeps stock up to date, remembers customers and who owes what, and adds up the day for you.
Afritelligence is a POS system for businesses in Rwanda. It runs in a browser on a phone, tablet or computer — no machine to buy — and records MTN MoMo, Airtel Money, Card and cash in Rwandan Franc (RWF), with your TIN on every receipt.
Who uses a POS system?
Shops, chemists, hardware stores, agrovets, boutiques, electronics and furniture shops, salons and service businesses in Kigali, Musanze, Huye and Rubavu all use a POS system to replace the receipt book and the end-of-day calculator.

How a day with a POS works
The cashier scans or searches each item, takes payment by MTN MoMo, Airtel Money, Card or cash and prints or shares the receipt. Stock is reduced automatically. If the customer pays later, the sale goes on their account.
At closing, the owner sees sales, profit and what came in by each payment method — from the shop or from anywhere.
What a POS system replaces
The receipt book, the stock book and the calculator. Because every sale is recorded once, stock, profit and debts are always up to date, and staff mistakes or theft show up the same day.
