Venta POS & Mobile
Resilient checkout terminals built with localized synchronization databases to keep running continuously.
Zero-Downtime Storefront Checkout, Built for Local Connectivity
Venta POS & Venta Mobile are resilient, offline-first cashier checkout terminals designed specifically for the unique connectivity challenges of African retail. If the internet fails or during power cuts (Dumsor), our system does not freeze. It operates locally with full functionality.
Cashiers can scan barcodes, execute cash/MoMo entries, suspend/hold bills, deduct inventory, and print receipts without interruptions. The system utilizes a localized database synchronization architecture, automatically queueing and uploading sales data to VentaHub the moment communication is restored.
Resilient POS Features
- Offline-First Design: 100% database capability locally on SQLite containers. No cloud dependency for billing.
- Diverse Payments: In-terminal splits for Cash, Mobile Money, and Card payments.
- EVAT Calculations: Automated GRA tax calculations (VAT, NHIL, GETFund, COVID Levy) built natively into checkout scripts.
- Mobile Version: Cross-platform Android/iOS tablet app for floor checkouts and inventory scanning.
