What MiniPOS is
MiniPOS is a separate, lightweight app from SmartBiashara for very small businesses. You install it on an Android phone or open it on the web, add your products, and start selling. Each sale updates your stock, money you are owed goes on a due list, and income and expenses roll up into a simple profit-and-loss view. It does the daily basics well and leaves the heavier work, such as warehouses, full accounting and payroll for a large team, to SmartBiashara ERP.
Who it is for
- Kiosk and small duka owners who sell from one counter and want a record of each day's takings
- Mobile sellers and market traders who need to log sales away from a desk
- Salons that sell products alongside services and want to know what is left on the shelf
- Small food businesses that need receipts and a daily sales total
- Owners trying a POS for the first time who are not ready for a full ERP
What you can do with MiniPOS
Sell from the phone
Pick items, take payment and print a receipt without a separate till machine. The POS sales screen is built for one person working fast at a busy counter.
Stock that moves with each sale
Add your products once. When you sell a bag of sugar, the count goes down. Record purchases from your supplier and the count goes back up, so you can see what to restock before the shelf is empty.
Due list for customers who pay later
Many dukas sell on credit to regular customers. MiniPOS keeps those madeni (amounts owed) on a due list under each customer or supplier, so nobody's balance lives only in a notebook.
Income, expenses and loss or profit
Log rent, transport and other costs next to your sales. The loss/profit view and reports show whether the month actually made money.
Parties: customers and suppliers in one list
Keep phone numbers and balances for the people you buy from and sell to, so a supplier call or a customer follow-up starts with the right figures.
Your language and your currency
MiniPOS has a language setting and multi-currency support, so staff can work in the language they read best.
More branches and payroll on paid plans
The MultiBranch plans let you run more than one location. HRM and payroll tools come with the Standard and Premium plans.
MiniPOS prices
MiniPOS prices are published on the MiniPOS plans page and are billed separately from SmartBiashara ERP subscriptions. Check the plans page for what each tier includes before you subscribe.

How MiniPOS connects to SmartBiashara
MiniPOS runs as its own app with its own sign-up, login and subscription, and your MiniPOS records stay in MiniPOS. Think of it as the first step. When a business adds a second store with its own stockroom, needs double-entry accounting, payroll with NSSF and PAYE, or mobile money reconciled at the till, SmartBiashara ERP is the next step. The ERP Starter plan is TSh 15,000 a month with a 14-day free trial and no credit card, and your product list can be loaded into the ERP with an Excel bulk import.
MiniPOS questions

What is the difference between MiniPOS and SmartBiashara ERP?
MiniPOS is a light phone app for recording sales, stock, dues and expenses in a small business. SmartBiashara ERP is the full platform: multi-branch stock with warehouses and transfers, purchasing, double-entry accounting, CRM, HR and payroll, and many industry modules. They are separate products with separate accounts and prices.
Do I need a computer to use MiniPOS?
No. MiniPOS is made to run from a phone. You can download it from Google Play or log in through the MiniPOS website.
How much does MiniPOS cost after the free period?
After the free 14 days, Standard is TSh 15,000 for 30 days and Standard MultiBranch is TSh 20,000 for 31 days. Premium is TSh 150,000 for 360 days and Premium MultiBranch is TSh 200,000 for 365 days.
Can MiniPOS handle customers who buy on credit?
Yes. The due list records what each customer owes and what you owe each supplier, so you can see outstanding balances at any time.
Can I move from MiniPOS to SmartBiashara ERP later?
Yes, you can sign up for SmartBiashara ERP whenever you are ready. The two apps do not sync automatically, but the ERP accepts an Excel bulk import for products, which saves typing your list again. Our team can guide you on +255 749 900 050.
