Posnic is open-source POS software built for real shops: supermarkets, restaurants, boutiques, pharmacies and hardware stores. Businesses in Dar es Salaam run it free of charge, offline first, with every sale stored on their own machine.
Prices, receipts and reports display in shillings with local number formatting, configured once per store.
Scan-and-sell with barcode scanners, or tap through sales on touch screens and tablets. Both are first-class.
Live stock with every sale, low-stock alerts, purchase receiving and a full movement history behind each number.
Table ordering, kitchen tickets and hybrid retail-plus-dining in the same software, at no extra cost.
Run one shop or a chain across Tanzania: each store keeps its own settings, consolidated in cloud dashboards when you subscribe.
The complete application is public on GitHub under AGPL-3.0. No trial, no feature locks, no telemetry.
Posnic for your business: Grocery · Restaurants · Cafes · Fashion · Pharmacy · Electronics · Hardware
Posnic uses configurable tax groups, so VAT rates are set once and applied automatically, with inclusive or exclusive pricing and tax-wise report summaries.
Any Windows computer. Standard USB barcode scanners, thermal receipt printers, cash drawers, weighing scales and touch screens all work. Existing hardware from a previous system usually carries over.
Yes. Each store runs its own offline Posnic, and Posnic Cloud syncs them with branch-level access control and consolidated dashboards you can watch from anywhere.
