POS system and stock control for shops in Uganda

BelloPOS runs sales, stock, customer credit and reports on the PC or Mac in your shop, even when the internet or power goes off. It does not issue EFRIS receipts or invoices: you keep using your URA EFRIS solution for that.

BelloPOS runs on a Windows computer or a Mac. Open the link there.

BelloPOS for Android runs on tablets, not on phones. Open this page on your tablet or your computer.

BelloPOS ProFor shops ready for the next step

One server, the whole shop on the same data

Your tills, your waiters' phones and the kitchen screen all work on a single database that sits in your shop, not in the cloud, not on someone else's server.

The server PC

One computer holds the database: products, stock, prices, sales and staff. It is the machine that stays on, and everything else simply connects to it.

Your local network · no internet needed

The other tills

Extra checkout stations join over your own network, by cable or Wi-Fi. A sale rung up on one till shows on all of them straight away, and the stock count follows.

The handheld app

Your waiter takes the order at the table from a phone browser. Nothing to install, no app store, and nothing to type again at the counter.

The kitchen screen

Orders appear in the kitchen the moment they are sent, on any phone or tablet browser. No paper tickets, no slips lost between the room and the pass.

Your data stays in your shop

The database is on your own PC. If the internet drops, and it does, the tills, the phones and the kitchen keep working.

Pay once, sell forever

Take Pro as a lifetime licence: no fee per till, no yearly renewal, no bill that grows with your turnover. Prefer monthly? Buy a key only for the months you need.

Grow at your own pace

Start with one till today. Add a second station, the waiters' phones and the kitchen screen when the business is ready: same app, same data.

Multi-terminal, the handheld app and the kitchen app are included in the Pro licence.

No contract, no lock-in

Every feature, explained on its own page

What each module does, the screens it uses, and the questions merchants ask about it.

Touchscreen POS software

The till screen your staff will actually use: one tap per item, one second per payment, and nothing waiting on a connection.

Stock management software

Every sale and every delivery moves the count, so what the screen says is what is actually on the shelf.

Barcode and label software

Any scanner works out of the box, and anything without a barcode gets one you print yourself.

Invoicing and receipt software

A thermal ticket for the queue, a proper PDF invoice for the customer who asks, both out of the same sale.

Customer management software

Know who is in front of you, what they bought last time, and the details their next invoice needs.

Customer credit and account statements

Set the limit before the sale, follow every debit and payment, and hand the customer a statement that adds up.

Purchasing and supplier software

Record what arrived and what you paid, then let stock, cost prices and supplier history update together.

Sales reporting software

What sold, what earned, who sold it and what to order next, without exporting anything to a spreadsheet.

Restaurant POS software

The floor, the pass and the bill on one system, still running when the line goes down mid service.

Repair & service business software

A phone left for repair, a haircut booked for 10 o'clock, a leak to fix at a customer's: one ticket per job, one number, nothing lost.

Offline POS software

Not an offline mode that catches up later: the software simply runs where your shop is.

Multi-till POS software

One PC holds the data, the other terminals talk to it over your own network, and nothing leaves the building.

Staff accounts and permissions

Everyone gets their own login, each role gets exactly the buttons it should have, and the history says who did what.

Built for shops, supermarkets and bars from Kampala to Gulu

Many shops in Uganda still run on an exercise book, a calculator and a MoMo statement that never quite agrees with the cash in the drawer. BelloPOS replaces the book. You add products with buying and selling prices, scan barcodes with any USB or Bluetooth scanner, print receipts and labels, and stock goes down with every sale and up with every delivery from Kikuubo or your distributor. Each sale records how it was paid, cash, MTN MoMo, Airtel Money, card or credit, and at closing you count the drawer against the day's sales. Lite is free for good; Go, Pro and Pro+ are sold once or as monthly or yearly keys with no automatic renewal.

Everything runs on the computer in your shop, not on a remote server. When the data bundle runs out, the network is slow or Yaka finishes in the middle of the evening rush, you keep selling and printing receipts. With Go, customers who take goods on credit get a proper account with a limit and a statement, and retailers, schools and hotels buying in bulk get their own price group. Ares, the AI assistant, answers questions like which items sold best this week. EFRIS e-receipts and e-invoices stay with your EFRIS solution; BelloPOS keeps the stock records and reports behind them.

EFRIS, VAT and small business tax: what applies in Uganda

A POS system does not make you compliant on its own. These are the main rules for a trading business, each with a link to the URA page we read. Your situation may differ, so confirm with your accountant or tax adviser.

Who must use EFRIS

URA says all VAT-registered businesses must use EFRIS, the Electronic Fiscal Receipting and Invoicing Solution. Businesses in designated sectors must use it whether or not they are VAT-registered; the list includes accommodation and food services, construction, manufacturing and the wholesale and retail of fuel. BelloPOS does not issue EFRIS e-receipts or e-invoices and is not connected to EFRIS.

ura.go.ug

How EFRIS documents are issued

URA lists several ways to issue EFRIS documents: the EFRIS mobile app, an Electronic Fiscal Device (EFD), the desktop client, the URA web portal for small users, and system-to-system integration for high-volume businesses. VAT-registered businesses issue e-invoices, others issue e-receipts, each with a Fiscal Document Number and QR code. Receipts printed from BelloPOS carry none of these.

ura.go.ug

Stock in EFRIS

URA explains that taxpayers who deal in products must stock in quantities for their configured items in EFRIS before they can issue e-receipts and e-invoices, and can adjust or transfer stock there. BelloPOS keeps its own stock records for running the shop, but it does not update your EFRIS stock. Ask your accountant how to keep the two in line.

ura.go.ug

VAT at 18%

URA's VAT page gives a standard rate of 18%, with exports and medicines made in Uganda zero-rated, and items such as unprocessed foodstuffs exempt. It describes registration as compulsory once turnover passes the threshold set out on that page, with returns and payment due within 15 days after the end of each month. BelloPOS sales reports by day and by product help you prepare figures, while VAT e-invoices stay with EFRIS and your accountant.

ura.go.ug

Small business (presumptive) tax

URA describes a small business tax for traders whose gross turnover is above UGX 10 million and not above UGX 150 million a year. It is a final tax with no deductions, and the amount is lower in some bands for businesses that keep records. BelloPOS daily and monthly sales reports give you a clear turnover figure to discuss with your accountant.

ura.go.ug

Keeping business records

URA asks businesses to keep an accurate record of every transaction, such as receipts, invoices, contracts and bank statements, ideally on the day it happens. BelloPOS records every sale, refund, delivery and payment with its date, and can export reports and sales as PDF. How long you must keep records is set by law, so confirm the period with your accountant.

ura.go.ug

BelloPOS is not certified, accredited or approved by URA or any other Ugandan authority. It is not an EFRIS solution, EFD or accredited EFRIS software integrator, and it issues no e-receipts, e-invoices or other fiscal documents. Receipts printed from BelloPOS are not EFRIS documents. This summary is not tax or legal advice: please confirm your obligations with your accountant or tax adviser.

How Uganda pays, and how you record it

BelloPOS does not process payments and is not connected to MTN MoMo, Airtel Money, banks or card machines. The customer pays the way they always do, and you pick the payment method on the sale, so every sale shows how it was paid. You can add your own payment methods to match how your shop gets paid.

  • Cash in shillings, with change shown on screen and a cash drawer
  • MTN MoMo, including MoMoPay merchant payments, added as its own method
  • Airtel Money, including Airtel Money Pay, added as another method
  • Bank app transfers and agency banking deposits
  • Debit and credit cards (Visa, Mastercard) on your own bank card machine
  • Any other method you take, added by you in a few clicks
  • Credit for regulars, settled at month-end or on payday (Go plan)
  • Accounts settled later by bank transfer for schools, hotels and NGOs (Go plan)

Because BelloPOS does not read your mobile money statements, check the sales recorded as MoMo and Airtel Money against your merchant statements at closing. A gap usually means a payment was recorded under the wrong method.

How Ugandan businesses use BelloPOS

Supermarket in Ntinda, Kampala

A neighbourhood supermarket with about 2,000 items runs two tills on Pro and scans everything. Sugar, rice and posho repacked into smaller bags get printed barcode labels. Deliveries from Kikuubo wholesalers are booked in against the order, and the low-stock list shows what to buy before the weekend. The owner, who is VAT-registered, issues EFRIS e-invoices through the URA desktop client.

Sports bar in Jinja

Beer, Uganda Waragi and spirits are the most valuable stock, so every crate and bottle is scanned in and out. Each barman logs in with their own account, only the manager can void a sale, and tables keep a running bill on Pro while waiters add rounds from their phones. On match nights, the manager counts the drawer at closing and checks what each staff member sold.

Hardware shop in Mbarara

Builders, fundis and walk-in customers buy cement, iron sheets and nails at different prices from one counter. With Go, contractors get a trade price group and a credit account with a statement, so the owner knows who owes what before releasing more goods. Purchase orders track stock coming from Kampala, and Ares reports which lines are moving slowest.

Beauty and cosmetics shop in Mbale

A shop selling cosmetics, hair products and toiletries tracks hundreds of small items by barcode and sees which brands actually sell. Salons in town buy at a wholesale price group on Go, and regulars take goods on a credit account with a limit and settle later. The power goes off often, so the laptop and receipt printer sit on a small UPS and sales never stop.

Questions Ugandan shop owners ask

Does BelloPOS issue EFRIS receipts or invoices?

No. BelloPOS is not an EFRIS solution, is not an accredited EFRIS software integrator and is not connected to URA. You keep issuing e-receipts or e-invoices through the URA option that suits you, such as the EFRIS desktop client, mobile app, web portal or an EFD. BelloPOS handles what EFRIS does not: day-to-day stock, customer credit, staff, reports and AI. Ask your accountant how best to run both side by side.

Is there really a free POS system?

Yes. BelloPOS Lite is free for good, not a trial. On one till you can sell, print receipts, add products, scan barcodes, print barcode labels and track stock, and we never ask for a card. When you want credit accounts for regulars, wholesale price groups, purchase orders, scheduled backups or Ares AI, move up to Go. Restaurants, bars and shops with several tills usually choose Pro.

Can I record MTN MoMo and Airtel Money payments?

Yes, as payment methods. BelloPOS is not linked to MTN or Airtel, so the customer pays to your merchant code or number as usual and the cashier selects MoMo or Airtel Money on the sale. Each sale then shows how it was paid, which helps you check against your mobile money statements at closing. Bank transfers, cards or any other method you add work the same way.

Does it work without internet or power?

Selling, receipts, stock and reports all run on the computer or Android tablet in your shop, so finished data bundles or a slow network do not stop the counter. Extra tills and waiters' phones connect over your own Wi-Fi, not the internet. For power cuts, keep the PC and receipt printer on a UPS; a laptop or tablet keeps running on its battery. Only Ares AI and plan activation need a connection.

Can customers take goods on credit?

Yes, with Go. Create the customer, set a credit limit and sell on account. Every purchase and payment goes into their ledger, the till warns you when they reach the limit, and you can print a statement at month-end. It replaces the credit book on the counter, and the customer sees exactly what they took and when, which ends most arguments.

Can I sell wholesale and retail from one shop?

Yes. With Go, you create price groups such as wholesale, retailer or school and attach customers to them. Select the customer at the till and their price appears automatically, while walk-in buyers pay the shelf price. Stock comes from the same product list, so you always know what is left whether a carton went to a retailer from upcountry or single pieces went over the counter.

Which computer and hardware do I need?

A Windows PC or laptop, or a Mac running macOS 12 or later. Add a 58 mm or 80 mm receipt printer, a USB or Bluetooth barcode scanner and a cash drawer if you want them; most standard models sold in Kampala work. A touch screen is optional. BelloPOS also runs on Android tablets (Android 7 or later). With Pro and Pro+, our team installs the software remotely and helps you connect the printer and scanner.

How do I buy a licence from Uganda?

Message us on WhatsApp with the plan you want. We confirm the price, tell you how payment can be made and send your licence key once payment is received. Every purchase is invoiced from the USA. You can try every Pro feature free for 7 days first, and paid plans have a 14-day money-back guarantee.
