Retail & Ecommerce

Every till, one stock count.

Multiple stores, multiple tills, multiple payment methods — and one stock count that's supposed to be accurate. Centy keeps it that way in real time.

Make every till your competitive edge.

Retail and ecommerce businesses in Africa run point-of-sale across several stores, take payment by card, cash, and mobile money, and increasingly sell through marketplaces that pay out days later in a lump sum. Stock counts drift because a sale at one till doesn't always update the central record fast enough.

Shoppers expect one stock count everywhere they buy

In-store, online, and marketplace channels all draw from the same shelf — customers don't see, or forgive, a stock count that's out of sync.

Retailers need receipts and payouts that reconcile themselves

eTIMS-compliant receipts and marketplace payouts should match back to the sale automatically, not get chased at month-end.

Built for how retail & ecommerce actually runs.

Centy connects point-of-sale to live stock across every till and location, generates eTIMS-compliant receipts automatically at checkout, and matches mobile money and marketplace payouts against the orders they're meant to settle — so the stock count on the system is the stock count on the shelf.

Live multi-store stock

One stock record across every till and location — no overnight sync, no end-of-day surprises.

eTIMS-compliant receipts

Receipts generated at checkout meet Kenyan eTIMS requirements automatically.

Per-till, per-shift reconciliation

Cash, card, and mobile money takings are reconciled by till and cashier shift, caught the same day.

How it works

One operational record from the first step to close — not three tools reconciled at month-end.

  1. Sale rings up

    A till sale updates stock across every store instantly, not overnight.

  2. Receipt generates

    An eTIMS-compliant receipt is issued automatically at checkout for Kenyan retailers.

  3. Payment reconciles

    Cash, card, and mobile money takings are matched against sales, per till, per shift.

  4. Payouts settle

    Marketplace and delivery-partner payouts are matched back to the individual orders they cover.
