A Point of Sale Built for Market Stalls and Street Vendors
Not a shop system squeezed onto a phone — a till designed from the ground up for the stall, the kiosk and the roadside. Camera-first, mobile money native, works offline, and free to start.

Almost every point-of-sale system is built for a shop with a counter, a computer, and a queue. Market stalls, street vendors and kiosks work differently: one hand on the goods, a phone in the other, customers who pay by M-Pesa or cash, and no time to type. Most vendors run the whole business in a notebook because the 'proper' POS systems assume a terminal, a subscription, and reading a manual. AskBiz is built for the notebook user, not the shop owner. You point your camera at a product to add it, take payment by mobile money or cash, and the day's takings, best sellers and low stock are there when you close — without a single spreadsheet. It is a real POS for informal businesses across Kenya, Nigeria, Uganda and beyond, on the phone the vendor already carries.
Why normal POS systems don't fit a stall
A market vendor can't stop mid-sale to type item names into a screen, can't afford a KES 45,000 terminal for a stall that packs up each night, and often isn't reading long English menus while a queue builds. Traditional POS software assumes a fixed counter, steady power, steady internet, and a literate operator with time to spare. Stalls have none of that. So the tools go unused and the vendor stays in the notebook — losing track of what actually sells, what's running low, and how much was really made once stock and mobile money are counted.
AskBiz is camera-first, so selling is faster than writing
Instead of typing, you use the camera. Snap a product and AskBiz names and prices it; scan a barcode and it's in the basket. Take M-Pesa, Airtel, MTN or cash, and the sale records itself. Big buttons, photos instead of long text, and one-tap undo mean it works for a busy vendor who can't read a manual — and it keeps working when the network drops. At the end of the day you see your takings, your top sellers and what to restock, all on the same phone. No hardware, no counter, no spreadsheet — just a faster, clearer version of the notebook every vendor already trusts.
