Barcode-fast checkout. Split payments across cash and M-Pesa. Supplier credit tracked to the shilling. WhatsApp receipts. Mellotek is the POS built for how supermarkets and dukas actually run.
The problems every shop owner knows
These are the six problems we hear from supermarket and mini-mart owners every week — and how Mellotek solves each one.
Barcode scan or search by name/SKU. A typical basket of 10 items rings up in under 30 seconds. Tap-to-add favourites for the top 50 SKUs you sell all day.
Every purchase order, every delivery, every partial payment recorded. See exactly what you owe each supplier and when it's due. No more arguments at month-end.
Real-time stock per branch. Reorder alerts when items drop below your threshold. Stocktake reconciliation in the app — variances flagged instantly.
Split payment mode: type the cash amount, M-Pesa auto-fills the remainder. Both amounts recorded on the same sale for exact end-of-day reconciliation.
Customer accounts with running balance. Record credit sales and payments as they come. Full history per customer. Send WhatsApp reminders when they owe you.
Manage every branch from one dashboard. Transfer stock between branches with a full audit trail. See which branch sells what — and which one is losing money.
