Why cloud POS makes sense for Kenyan businesses
From single-counter shops to growing multi-branch chains, the cloud model removes friction and gives you visibility you simply can't get from a desktop-only system.
Sell from anywhere in Kenya
Access your POS from any browser — laptop, tablet, or smartphone. No software installation, no IT team required.
Real-time data across all branches
Every sale, return, and stock movement at any location appears on your head-office dashboard the moment it happens.
Automatic data backup
Your sales history, product catalogue, and customer records are backed up to the cloud continuously — you never lose data.
Instant software updates
New features, KRA eTIMS changes, and M-Pesa updates are applied automatically. You're always on the latest version.
Scale without hardware cost
Adding a new branch means adding a user account — not buying a new server. Unlimited cashier accounts on higher plans.
Kenya-based data security
Data is encrypted in transit and at rest. Access controls let you restrict which staff see pricing, reports, or customer data.
Cloud POS Kenya — frequently asked questions
What is a cloud POS system?
A cloud POS (Point of Sale) stores all your data on secure remote servers rather than a local computer. You access it via a web browser or app. This means you can check your sales from your phone while away from the shop, and you never lose data if a device breaks.
Does sell.ke work if my internet goes down?
Yes. sell.ke has a built-in offline mode. When the internet drops, your cashiers continue to process sales normally. All transactions sync automatically when connectivity returns — nothing is lost.
Is a cloud POS secure for a Kenyan business?
sell.ke uses industry-standard TLS encryption for all data in transit and AES-256 encryption at rest. Role-based access controls mean cashiers only see what they need, and managers get full reporting. You can revoke any user's access instantly if they leave.
How do I access sell.ke — do I need to install anything?
sell.ke runs in any modern browser (Chrome, Edge, Safari). There is nothing to install on Windows or Android. You can also access it from a smartphone in a pinch. For receipts, you connect a standard Bluetooth or USB thermal printer.
What happens to my data if I cancel my subscription?
You can export your full product list, sales history, and customer records as CSV files at any time. We retain your data for 90 days after cancellation so you can download it at your convenience.
