Fast barcode checkout on every till, M-PESA confirmed by Safaricom, an eTIMS receipt on every sale, and stock you can trust across every branch, with AI watching for shrinkage and stock-outs.
Setup from KES 15,000 · first year licence free · multi-branch head office
A supermarket in Kenya can turn over thousands of items a day on margins of a few percent. At that scale, small leaks add up fast: an item scanned at the wrong price, stock that walks out of the store room, expiry write-offs nobody records, or an M-PESA payment that was never really received. The collapse of big chains like Nakumatt showed how quickly weak controls turn into empty shelves.
RetailPulse gives a supermarket the controls that keep margins honest. Every till takes barcode scans, cash, M-PESA and card, and issues an eTIMS receipt. Every sale updates stock and posts cost of goods to the books, so gross profit is real, not estimated. Head office sees every branch on one dashboard, moves stock between branches and gets reorder alerts before popular lines run out.
Four AI engines run on your own server: Loss Radar flags unusual shrinkage by product and cashier, Reorder Radar predicts stock-outs, M-PESA reconciliation catches unmatched payments, and Debtor Risk watches credit customers.
