A POS built for Dar es Salaam trade

Dar es Salaam is Tanzania's largest city and its commercial engine, and its shops move fast. From wholesalers in Kariakoo to mini-marts in Ilala, Kinondoni and Temeke, prices change quickly and stock turns over in a hurry. Duka POS gives you one simple system to keep up, with an accurate, live picture of every sale instead of a handwritten book.

Because it is cloud-based, the city's heavy traffic no longer keeps you from your numbers. You can check today's takings from home, from another branch, or while stuck on Nyerere Road, all from your phone.

  • Sell faster at the counter with barcode or quick search
  • Prices in Tanzanian Shillings (TZS), formatted the way you expect
  • Track cash, M-Pesa, Tigo Pesa and Airtel Money separately
  • Run it on hardware you may already own

Why Dar es Salaam shops choose Duka POS

Shop owners across Dar move to Duka POS because it removes the guesswork from daily trading. In a busy Kariakoo stall or a Kinondoni supermarket, a notebook cannot tell you which line earns the most, which cashier is short at closing, or when a fast seller is about to run out. Duka POS answers all of this automatically.

  • Affordable: start free and pay only as your shop grows — see the plans for TZS pricing.
  • Simple: a new cashier can learn the sales screen in minutes.
  • Honest tills: every sale is tied to a user, so cash matches records.
  • Connected stock: selling an item updates your inventory instantly.

It is the same platform behind our national POS system in Tanzania, tuned to the pace of the city.

Mobile money and TZS made simple

In Dar, customers pay however is easiest, and that increasingly means mobile money. Duka POS lets you record M-Pesa, Tigo Pesa and Airtel Money alongside cash and card, each tracked separately so your end-of-day totals always reconcile against what actually came in.

Every price and report is shown in Tanzanian Shillings the way your customers expect, with no awkward conversions. When you compare your mobile money takings against your cash drawer, the numbers line up, and any shortfall is easy to trace to a sale and a cashier.

How to get started in Dar es Salaam

Getting your Dar shop onto Duka POS takes only a few steps, and you can be selling the same day.

  • Create your free account and set your currency to Tanzanian Shillings.
  • Add your products, with buying and selling prices, scanning or typing barcodes.
  • Add your team, creating cashier and manager accounts with the right access.
  • Start selling on any Android phone, tablet or computer at the counter.
  • Watch your reports build up so you see sales, stock and profit in real time.

There is no long contract and no special hardware to buy before you begin. When you are ready to grow across Ilala, Temeke or beyond, compare the plans and add branches without changing systems.

Know your stock and your profit

Most Dar es Salaam shops lose money not on sales, but on stock they cannot account for. In a market as fast as Kariakoo, items move quickly and shrinkage hides easily. Duka POS keeps an accurate count of every item so you can spot fast movers, slow movers and losses early, and reorder before a shelf is empty.

The reporting tools turn everyday sales into decisions. See which products bring the most profit, which days and hours are busiest, and how each cashier performs. Because inventory is linked directly to the point of sale, there is never a second system to reconcile at the end of a long trading day.
