A lot of point-of-sale software sold in Kenya is still, underneath, a program installed on one desktop computer at the till. That machine holds the database. If it breaks, gets stolen, or the hard drive fails, the sales history often goes with it, and if you open a second branch, that till can't see what the first one is doing. AskBiz doesn't work that way. It's a cloud POS — built on Vercel and Supabase — so the app and your data live on servers we run, not on a machine sitting in your shop. You open it in a browser on any phone, tablet or computer, log in, and you're looking at the same live business no matter which device or branch you're standing in.

The problem with a till that only one machine can see

A single desktop till program ties your business to one physical machine. Someone has to keep that computer running, patched, and free of the kind of software problems that eventually catch up with any unmaintained PC — and in most small businesses, there is no IT person to do that. If the machine is stolen, dropped, or simply dies, whatever wasn't backed up is gone. Add a second branch and the problem compounds: that till still only knows about its own shop, so you're stitching two sets of numbers together by hand at month end, or not at all.

A POS that lives in the cloud, not on a box in your shop

With AskBiz there's no server to buy, configure, or keep alive — the software runs on cloud infrastructure we operate, and you access it through a browser on whatever device is in front of you. Your sales, stock and staff records are stored centrally and backed up as a matter of course, not sitting on a single till that can be lost, stolen, or break. Software updates happen on our end automatically, so you're never running an old, unpatched version because nobody got around to it. And because every branch reads and writes to the same live data, a multi-branch business sees one consolidated picture instead of several disconnected ones.

Everything you need. Nothing you don't.

Built for business owners, not data scientists.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to buy a server or install anything?
No. AskBiz runs entirely in the cloud — there is no server to purchase and no software to install on a local machine. You access it through a browser on any device.
What happens to my data if a till device breaks or is stolen?
Your data is not stored on the till device itself. It lives centrally and is backed up, so a lost, stolen or broken phone does not mean lost business records — you simply log in again on another device.
Do I need an IT person to keep it running?
No. Because there is no local server or installed software to maintain, there is nothing for an IT person to patch or keep alive. Updates happen on our side automatically.
Can I use it across multiple branches?
Yes. Every branch logs into the same cloud system, so stock, sales and reporting are consolidated across locations in real time rather than living in separate, disconnected tills.
Do I have to manually update the software?
No. Because AskBiz is cloud-hosted, updates and improvements are deployed on our end and are simply there the next time you log in — nothing to download or install yourself.
Is my data safe if I lose internet connection at one branch?
Yes for selling — AskBiz keeps working offline and queues sales on the device, syncing automatically once connectivity returns. Since your data is centrally hosted rather than tied to one machine, a temporary connection drop at one branch does not affect the others.
