Introducing Dejavu's Windows POS System: What Kenyan Businesses Need to Know

Running a shop, restaurant, pharmacy or salon in Kenya today means juggling sales, stock, M-Pesa payments, staff and  since the rollout of eTIMS  tax compliance, all at the same time. A reliable POS system in Kenya can take care of all of this from one screen at your counter.




That's exactly what Dejavu Technologies' Windows POS system is built for. Powered by the same Comstore POS platform trusted by retailers, restaurants, and service businesses across the country, the Windows till brings full point-of-sale functionality to a desktop or laptop at your counter with KRA eTIMS compliance built in from day one.


 What Is Dejavu's Windows POS System?

Dejavu's Windows POS is the desktop version of the Comstore POS platform, designed to run on a Windows PC or laptop at your sales counter. It pairs with everyday till hardware  a receipt printer, barcode scanner, and cash drawer  to give you a complete checkout station.

For businesses that already use Dejavu's Comstore POS app on Android phones or tablets, the Windows till can also act as the central hub: using LAN Sync, it shares items, customers, and transactions in real time with Android devices on the same network, so your whole team ; from the main counter to mobile staff on the floor works from one shared set of data.


Key Features of the Windows POS System

A Windows pos kenya setup from Dejavu comes packed with tools to run your day-to-day operations and grow your business:


- Inventory & stock management – add items with prices, categories, barcodes, and reorder levels, and get notified when stock runs low


- Multi-user accounts with roles set up Administrator, Stock Manager, and Cashier logins with individual PINs, plus a full audit trail of who did what



- Shift and cash-drawer management – open and close shifts with cash reconciliation for accountability between staff handovers

- M-Pesa and mobile money support – process payments and automatically print receipts from mobile money confirmations

- Discounts, promotions, and loyalty – run percentage or fixed discounts, buy-X-get-Y offers with promo codes, and reward repeat customers with a loyalty points programme




- Credit sales (sell on account) – track customers who pay later and manage their balances

- Suppliers and purchase orders – record suppliers, raise purchase orders, and receive stock against them



- Expense tracking – log day-to-day business expenses alongside your sales

- Detailed reports – sales, inventory, financial, VAT, and staff performance reports, exportable as CSV, Excel, or PDF



- Built-in eTIMS compliance – every sale can generate a KRA-compliant electronic tax invoice automatically



Who Is the Windows POS System For?

Because it's built around a flexible item, pricing, and tax engine, the Windows POS adapts to a wide range of Kenyan businesses, including:

- Retail shops and supermarkets – manage hundreds of products, categories, barcodes, and stock levels with ease

- Restaurants and cafés – handle item modifiers (extras, toppings), combo/bundle meals, and table-side or counter orders

- Pharmacies – track stock by item and supplier, manage reorder levels, and keep accurate, tax-compliant sales records

- Salons and spas – manage service pricing, customer records, loyalty rewards, and staff shifts

- Hotels, lodges, and hospitality outlets – combine multiple till points with shared inventory and centralised reporting via LAN Sync

Whatever your sector, if you need an organised counter, accurate stock figures, and tax-compliant receipts, this pos system in Kenya is designed with you in mind.


The eTIMS Compliance Angle: Stay Aligned with KRA, Automatically

Since the Kenya Revenue Authority rolled out the Electronic Tax Invoice Management System (eTIMS), VAT-registered businesses are required to issue compliant electronic invoices for every sale  and getting this wrong can mean penalties.

Dejavu's Windows POS comes with a built-in Smart VAT (eTIMS) module that takes the guesswork out of compliance:

- Automatically generates eTIMS QR-code invoices for each sale

- Issues electronic credit notes for returns and refunds

- Supports the official KRA VAT types (16% standard-rated, 0% zero-rated, and exempt/non-VAT items), plus your own custom tax rates for things like service charges

- Gives you a clear VAT category breakdown report for filing and audits

In short, every receipt your till prints is already aligned with KRA's requirements — no separate fiscal device or manual workaround needed.

Pricing

Dejavu's Windows POS system is available for Ksh 25,000, giving Kenyan SMEs an affordable way to get a full-featured, eTIMS-compliant till up and running on hardware they may already own. Get in touch with our team for details on hardware bundles (printers, scanners, and cash drawers) to complete your counter setup.

      In today’s fast-paced market, business owners are always seeking smarter ways to run operations, cut expenses, and boost profits. Unlike the early 2000s when a basic cash register was enough, modern retail now requires modern solutions.


COMSTORE ANDROID POS

The Comstore Android POS is a modern, mobile-friendly point-of-sale system tailored for Kenyan businesses. It combines intuitive touchscreen operation with essentials like payment flexibility, inventory tracking, and tax compliance.

We’ll look at how the Comstore Android POS in Kenya can enhance efficiency and reduce expenses, enabling you to scale your business while keeping costs under control.

1.      Multiple payment options

Modern Android POS gadgets support various payment methods including cash, credit/debit cards, mobile money (like M-Pesa), and QR code scanning. This flexibility ensures that businesses never miss a sale due to limited payment acceptance.

 2.      Wireless Connectivity

With Wi-Fi, 4G, or Bluetooth connectivity, these gadgets allow businesses to stay connected for transactions, updates, and cloud data syncing. They eliminate the dependency on fixed network setups, giving businesses flexibility to operate anywhere.

 3.      Touchscreen Interface

The devices come with high-resolution touchscreens, making navigation smooth and user-friendly. Employees can quickly enter orders, scan products, and process payments, reducing human error and speeding up service.

 4.      All-in-One Device

Instead of needing multiple devices (register, scanner, printer, card reader), Android POS gadgets combine all these functions into one compact machine. This reduces clutter, lowers maintenance costs, and simplifies operations.

      5.    Easy Setup and Maintenance

Unlike traditional systems that require technical expertise to set up, Android POS gadgets are plug-and-play. Updates are done automatically via the internet, and troubleshooting is simpler, meaning businesses don’t need to hire expensive IT support frequently.
